Holiday Inn Resort Ixtapa All-Inclusive by IHG
The bar and staff were great, but the meals at the buffet were horrible. We had to eat out most of the time except for breakfast and fruit.

Fontan Ixtapa Beach Resort - All Inclusive
You get what you pay for. I know going to this hotel the food was going to be average at best. I was not disappointed, it was eatable. Nothing fancy but its cheap.

Park Royal Beach Ixtapa - All Inclusive
Food was okay! What i did not like is only two elevators were working. There was a lot of people waiting in line. Pool was not too clean. And overall it really sucked because thanks to airline Aeromexico we lost a day at the hotel.

Krystal Ixtapa All Inclusive
This property specifies that has a pool bar but they don't. Bar opens until 10 am and only one so the wait is very long. No mini bar in the room and weather very hot where a drink is a need
