“Great Experience, No Danger”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

We just returned from 8 days at the Presidente InterContinental Resort in Ixtapa. We have stayed at resorts all over Mexico, but have been hesitant in recent years to stay in certain resort areas because of travel alerts of danger.

We had no problems whatsoever in either Ixtapa or Zihuatanejo. We taxied (very reasonably) several different times between the two cities. We walked the streets in both cities and never felt uncomfortable. We did not just stay in the touristy areas.

The staff at the InterContinental were truly the best that I have encountered anywhere. They were responsive and courteous no matter where you were in the hotel.

The food was good, although trying to figure out which restaurant you would be going to for your meals was a little difficult. The only disappointment was that the Sushi/Martini Bar never opened while we were there. The Saturday night Fiesta was fantastic. Although the hotel was fully booked that night (over 1200 people we heard), they accommodated everyone and had a great variety of food.

You never had to wait for a drink around the pool area.

This was a great deal for our money and we relaxed more than we ever have before on a vacation.

Your comments are very important for us but also for future guest who still hesitate to book their vacation in Ixtapa. As you said, Ixtapa Zihuatanejo is very peaceful and in general the local people are very friendly.

So thank you for sharing your experience in Ixtapa and in our hotel.

Best regards and Merry Christmas.

“Vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

Once again we had a great time at the resort. Our friend Jorge went out of his way to make every thing perfect. At the restaurants the food servers were very friendly and helpful and the people at the front desk greeted us every day. We have no fear and feel very safe at all times when we are there. We have been going here for over 15 years and I am sure will make it 16. Our 3 weeks were the best. Cleo at the towels and the activites guys were great and did a superb job.

Room Tip: I really think all their rooms are good and most have a view.

“25th anniversary”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

We spent our honeymoon at this hotel in November 1987. Just got back from celebrating our 25th anniversary at the same hotel. WOW! what a difference. Very clean, service was impecible, and food was abundant and delicious. The excurisons were excellent and well worth the prices. We felt very comfortable and safe as we traveled in both Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo throughout the various marekt places. The obvious presence of both federal and military police gave us a sense of security that allowed us to go anywhere we wanted without concern. Love sharing our stories and pictures with family and friends. Highly recommend this hotel and destination.

“3 day stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 23, 2012

My family and I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. Hotel stuff was excellent, anything outside the rooms was A+ food, pool, view, and room service. Room was below 2stars rating a/c not working properly, I requested to change my room, and they showed my at least 3 more rooms, but all rooms had the same problem. Not a nice problem to deal with in hot and humid weather. One more thing I hated that I was sent to a timeshares like presentation now they are calling it (vacational nights or noches vacacionales) so wrong when people is trying to relax and just have fun with their family. One thousand thanks to all the hotel stuff for their excellent service. (to the manager please address this problem so it will match your awesome people)

Dear guest,

Thank you very much for taking your time to post your comments in TA. Your feedback is very important for us and helps us to improve our service.

I am very happy to hear you enjoy the hotel with your family. Our staff is very focus on the service and always try to make you feel “home”. In reference of the food, our Chef prepares his menus to give to our guest a sample of the typical Mexican food and more especially from Guerrero. And our variety of buffet and a la carte restaurant, give you the opportunity to taste different cuisine (French, Italian, Sushi).

I am very surprise about your comment about the A/C, because usually our rooms have a good temperature for this latitude and my chief engineer did not report any problem with the A/C during your stay. And I imagine this inconvenient make you rating the room 2 stars because our rooms have all the facilities of 5 stars: 60m2, flat screen TVs, Safe deposit, duvet, iron board, etc…

In reference to the Club, after the check-in they give you all the information about the hotel´s facilities, the restaurant schedule, etc… And they will invite you to their presentation, but you are free to accept or not to assist.

Thank you again for your comments and I promise you that for your next stay you will not have any complain about the A/C or the Club.

Best regards,

SMC
