Emporio Ixtapa

It has a wonderful beach and it's very close to the beach . Great views for breakfast and lunch. It's not very over crowded . Caring freidly staff is an understatement. Food was decent and clean. Very chill atmosphere and it's not full of gringos . Yes I'm a gringo but i enjoy staying with the Mexicans a little more to experience different company .

This hotel has all the amenities required. The rooms are spacious and clean. All the staff are very friendly and attentive. There are some issues here though. I read in some reviews how great the restaurants were here. We did not find this at all, one restaurant was for snacks like hamburgers, hot dogs and fries, while the other is a buffet. You can order ala carte at the main restaurant but the menu is very limited. The buffet was just edible, and way overpriced for what you get. I would rate the buffet a 2.5/5. This place, like a lot of other hotels was extremely loud with music blaring all day and into the night, most nights until 10 pm. I love music, but I've never understood why the volume needs to be at 11 in Mexico. If you get a room with ocean view, overlooking the pool be prepared for little rest here. If that weren't bad enough, there is a disco at the hotel immediately next door that starts up around 10 pm until around 2 am. Brutal, absolutely brutal. Bring ear plugs. We did enjoy our stay, but it could have been a lot better. Liked I said before, bring ear plugs.

Very pleasant, friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable bed and quiet for sleeping. Good variety at the buffet, all facilities very clean and well maintained. Wifi service also good. Hotel surroundings have a nice ambience.

We had an oceanside view with two beds, and the view was absolutely amazing. The pool and adjacent area was kept pretty clean, and the mall directly across the street had plenty of restaurants and stores to wander into and around. The beach was gorgeous, even with more crowds than we had anticipated, and perfect for jogging, strolling or just people-watching while tanning. And the hotel is a quick 10-15 minute drive to the town of Zihuatanejo, a pleasant town that's much less "touristy" and more "real", as well as having some fantastic restaurants and it's own similar-but-different beaches.

We very much enjoyed the staff. We found them to be both welcoming and friendly. The grounds were very pleasant, and well looked after.
