Suites Ixtapa Plaza

We could not sleep because of the bar and disco music coming from next bars that went until 3 or 4 am every night. We tried to cancel our room and they wouldn't let us cancel. The manager did move us to a smaller different room which did not look over the bars. It was a little quieter but not much. The rooma were very clean but we do not recommend this hotel unless you want to party. The balcony chair was broken and could not be used. The pool was very small and there were no lounge chairs.

We have been to Ixtapa several times and have tended to stay at the big resorts. This was a last minute trip and didn't really care where we stayed as long as we had a place to sleep. We got our room for an excellent price on Hotwire. This hotel is located right on Ixtapa Blvd. The location is great. Easy access to the beach (we were granted permission to use the Emporio's pool and beach-you can buy drinks from their pool bar or waiters) or you can walk down to the public entrance of the beach. I prefer the access that is on the north side by Delfini. There is a super fun bar there called Rock Arena, live music every night, but Sunday's. Hotel Suites Ixtapa is in the heart of the little city, so you have many options for dining. Bars stay open late and you will hear noise, but it didn't bother my husband or I at all. Plus, we tend to stay out late, so the late night music thumping never bothered us. The rooms are modest, but they are SUPER CLEAN! The air conditioner worked great. The TV had many channels available, most stations are in Spanish, but there are at least 6 in English. Besides, you're not in Mexico to watch TV. The pool is cute, clean, and basically pretty awesome. We spent several afternoons at the rooftop pool. There were only a couple of days that anyone else even ever came to swim. We brought our own drinks and music and had a great time. No, you don't get a swim-up bar, but you also don't get a ton of kids hanging out at that swim-up bar screaming and splashing (the usual case for the swim-up pool bars in Ixtapa). The downfall of this hotel is that it is on the second floor of the building. There is a small elevator that I did see an elderly couple using, but we never even tried to use it. We are fine taking the stairs, but this hotel would not be the most handicapped friendly. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay. Wonderful employees, as usually is the case in Mexico. We would stay again!!

Loud party music every night. It was centrally located but surrounded with beer gardens where the party music was coming from. The temperature in Ixtapa was always above 85 degrees F, the hotel has no ice. I have a heart problem so it was difficult to carry my luggage to the second floor. This hotel has no elevators.
