Posada Real Ixtapa

“Great smaller resort with all that you need.”

Ten of us headed to Posada Real Ixtapa to escape the cold. We were looking for a smaller, no frills resort and that's exactly what we got.

Ten of us headed to Posada Real Ixtapa to escape the cold. We were looking for a smaller, no frills resort and that's exactly what we got. A lot of care and attention was brought to keeping the hotel lobby, halls, rooms, pool, restaurant and grounds clean. The staff was super friendly and all had a great time. There's no fancy shows in the evening, but they do have a solo person singing in the lounge every day. There's one restaurant, snack bar, pool bar and bar in the lounge. The resort gets quiet about 10:30 when the bar shuts down. All rooms have a balcony, half face the ocean, the other half faces the front of the hotel. There's two pools - infinity pool (with bar) facing the ocean and a smaller pool that has a shallow portion for kids and volleyball net if that's more your speed. Check-in / check-out was quick and simple. Beach is amazing and great for morning walks. You'll often see whales (thoughtout the day) and turtles (at night). We thoroughly enjoyed our one week stay. We walked into "downtown" Ixtapa a couple times and found some great lounges.

My husband and I vacationed from Apr 5-12, 2025. We travel alot and usually stay at a 4.5 -5 star but we thought we'd give this place a try as the reviews were decent and pics looked great. Unfortunately we made a big mistake on this place, this is the first time I've ever gave a bad review for a resort...which is not a "resort", is an all inclusive "hotel". We have rated this as a 3 star because there were a few good things. The staff were great although there was a major language barrier which is expected as we did go to Mexico and don't speak spanish, thanks to George for teaching us some. The view from the room was great as it was an ocean view, but unfortunately we were placed in a room with 2 beds instead of the king we requested, which ended up being a good thing as the food made me so sick I ended up in bed with travellers illness which I have never experienced before at this level, literally never left the room for 2.5 days but sick for 5 days. 6 day treatment of antibiotics required when I arrived back in Canada. What "resort" doesn't have a mini bar fridge in room!! No cold drinks for you lol. But the room was very clean, thanks to the wonderful cleaning staff. The buffet was less than mediocre, did not consist of breakfast meats at all, wieners and only breakfast safe items were omelets and fruit. Cereal was left out in containers from one day to the next. Everything else was pretty much the same everyday, very small assortment The only restaurant opened at 7:30 - 11:00 pm, 2:00 -5:00 pm and 7:30-10:00 pm. There was a snack bar from 1:00-6:00 posted but closed at 5:00 pm. So basically no food at lunchtime 12:00 or supper 5:00, this was definitely what we are used to at a "resort". Beautiful beach, well maintained. Too bad it's black flagged and no swimming in the ocean, would have been nice to know that in the resort description. There was an infinity pool, swim up bar, that was lovely. We enjoyed this for a couple of days as it wasn't too busy from Sunday - Wednesday. There was a bartender issue, he started at 11:00ish but disappeared at 11:30 - 12:30 ish for lunch...no coverage. There are rules posted but not followed unfortunately. There are alot of children at the swim up bar splashing water in your drinks, diving off the side of the pool, free kicks in the back of the head as they jump over you. I get this is a family place but there are two pool's allocated for families and the swim up bar shouldn't have kids or rules should be enforced so all vacationers can enjoy the vacation they paid for. Will never suggest this place to anyone unfortunately as it is one of the only small resorts in this area.
