Stayed at the Emporio in Ixtapa when we first got there. Impressive entrance to the hotel as you see the ocean and pool. Check in was a breeze with friendly service. Paid a little extra and got the ocean view room. In my opinion, it was worth it over the mountain view rooms.. pool was nice..very warm..beach area was nice... more

We just came back from a beautiful 6 day stay at the Emporio. Knowing very well we staying at a 3 star resort are expectation were not high. What we found out is....The Emporio exceeded all of our expectations and more. Check in and out were easy and fast. The location of this hotel cannot be beat. The room was... more

I dont have many positive things to say. This hotel says they have 4 or 5 restaurants but there was only 2 open. The spa was closed yet they advertised packages for the spa. The 'fitness room' consisted of 1 one treadmill and a few weights. We decidced to go "all inclusive" for the first 3 days. This meant that... more

We would definitely go back again. The first few days we were a bit disappointed with how crowded the pool was. It was a long weekend Mexican Holiday, and the pool area was packed with families and small children. We couldn't find empty beach chaises either. After 3 days, all seemed fine again, but the weekend crowd seemed to be... more

My husband and I, and 2 other couples stayed at the Emporio Ixtapa from Jan 28 - Feb 4, 2009. We booked in December with Nolitours and took advantage of an exceptionally good rate for the "almost all inclusive" package. We had previously visited this hotel (see our last review "Toronto 047" written April 3, 2007) and took issue with... more

Hotel Emporio has everything that you would want at a hotel on the beach. Great ocean views, wonderful sunsets and an attentive staff. My son had a skin reaction which we later found out was a reaction to lime juice with sun tan lotion, but never the less the manager called a doctor to come see him and the hotel... more

Stayed at the Emporio through an RCI timeshare exchange and exceeded our expectations in a "junior suite" looking back to the mountains. Nancy was welcoming at check-in, Sandra helped get 20% discounts at the golf course and Alejandra kept our drinks cold at the lobby happy hour. Pool was not large, but was well-utilized by younger kids and volleyball players.... more

Not what was expected of such a well-reviewed resort. Our room was comfortable, and adequate, but the air conditioning did not always work. The all-inclusive option offered poor food and little choice; only one restaurant was working. Although the package promised all domestic beverages, we were denied higher end drinks, and what we did receive was often watered down. The... more

I stayed at Emporio from November 28th to the 2nd of December. I really love Ixtapa for its beauty, great people and great beach. And staying at the Emporio enhanced my experience. The whole staff was very sweet, helpful and accomadating. I couldn't have asked for more from them. There is always room in the palapas on the beach and... more
