Emporio Ixtapa

The size of the room and the ease of access to the beach

I was at the Emporio Ixtapa for 10 days. It is an excellent value and I would happily return. Although it is a bit dated, i.e. manual key for mini bar and safe, the layout and room sizes are good. The indoor-outdoor lounge areas are attractive and spacious. The Hotel was apparently a Hilton originally. There are both taxi and public transportation stops immediately in front of the hotel and the Ixtapa town restaurants and amenities are across the street. The pool is large and there is a lifeguard at the beach. The hotel also participates in the program to re-populate the sea turtle population and has its own protected area for the safety of the developing eggs.

Weddings are common at the Emporio, particularly on week-ends. If your room is on the side where the events take place, the noise factor is significant. Unfortunately, most of the water view rooms are impacted. There are many families with children who stay at the Hotel.

the staff was great!

the A/C was not very cold.

Rooms are modern and comfortable. Bathrooms are well stocked with towels, shampoo, conditioners, etc..
