“All the staff but the front desk are excellent. I love wait the wait, bartenders, and housekeeping staff. Front desk refuses to”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 19, 2012 via mobile

Great value. Nice size not huge Best pool on Ixtapa beach. Did I mention that front desk is about the unfriendliest in Mexico? But I'll stay again for the pool, staff, and restaurant. Two pools One for families and the other for adults.

“Checked in and Checked out”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed April 16, 2012

We had stayed at the International Presidente and then the Pacifica and decided to give this smaller hotel a try based on other reviews. Upon seeing the room we knew we would not be staying. The safe is still a key style you wear around your neck (attractive on the beach)! The room keys are a braille like card that have the number clearly stated so basically if taken from a beach bag; room access is not a problem. The room itself had beat up walls a bathroom that had seen better days, a small window facing another building, the halls were dirty and well what can I say, we took a hit in losing one nights stay (with drinks inclusive) about $120 I believe but were happy to move back to the International Presidente down the beach. The location of this hotel is also further away from the main restaurants and shops in Ixtapa. Would definitely not recommend unless you care only about dollars saved.

“Good for the money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 4, 2012

This was our 3rd trip to Ixtapa and our 1st stay at this motel. We had no complaints. Rooms were clean, staff was very nice and helpful. We chose the drinks inclusive plan because we wanted to try all the good restaurants in Ixtapa and Zih. We usually go AI but always get tired of the food after a couple days, so this was a nice change for us. We did eat a few meals at the motel, but found them expensive compared to what you can get across the street. The only thing we missed was having a balcony. If you don't expect a 5* for a 3* price, then you will like this place.

Room Tip: we were in room 420. it is top floor ocean view!

“Wonderful Ixtapa”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 27, 2012

I will never tire of the Posada Real Ixtapa. For now it is one of the few remaining hotels in the city that are not "all inclusive". Rooms are simple and clean. Hotel is quaint and friendly. Grounds and pools are very nice. Staff is great.

Ixtapa is a very easy city to get around in. If in decent shape you can walk to just about everything Ixtapa has to offer.

Can't wait for next year - though I will be staying alot longer!

Room Tip: Whenever ever staying at an ocean destination always if possible stay in an ocean view room. Though...

“Very pleasant hotel, be prepared to enjoy.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 21, 2012

From the moment you arrive, you feel already relaxed. It’s not a luxury hotel but you won’t miss one. The rooms are fully equipped, with a nice view to the beach and the pool. The pool is the first thing you’ll want to hit because it’s just beautiful with a complimentary national alcoholic and non alcoholic beverage bar. You can buy your reservation with either breakfast or all inclusive features, I personally recommend you to include only breakfast and beverages, because you are close to towns and beaches where you can have a very nice lunch and dinner.

If you happen to be there on a Sunday night, visit Zihuatanejo, there’s a typical food market starting at 7pm (I think) and you will enjoy local made food.

Also visit “La Ropa” and “La Isla” beach (La Isla, specially if you want to do some snorkeling). They have a very confident travel agent who can recommend very nice places, trust in what they sell, you won’t regret.

One other thing you can’t miss is the flea market of Ixtapa (by nights it’s better since there won’t be this very hot sunlight) and try a natural ice cream in one the stores that is in the way. They prepare the ice cream form a blend of any of the fruits you would like to mix and they freeze it on a special fixture, so you can see how it’s prepared since the beginning.
