A Lively Beachfront Stay at Emporio Ixtapa
Well, we didn't opt for the all-inclusive experience at the Emporio Ixtapa, our two-week stay was incredibly enjoyable.
We chose to take advantage of the many excellent and affordable dining options just steps from the hotel – a far more appealing choice than the usual repetitive all-inclusive fare.
The hotel's beachfront location is unbeatable, and our junior suite on the eighth floor was delightful. The views of the pool and ocean were stunning, the room was spotlessly clean, and we slept soundly on the comfortable mattresses. In comparison to other stays, this was a welcome luxury! The housekeeping staff was also responsive and helpful throughout our visit.
We found the pool, lobby, and beach staff to be exceptionally friendly and accommodating. However, be prepared for a lively atmosphere. The pool area is consistently busy, and reserving shaded loungers requires an early wake-up. Additionally, the poolside music continues late into the night. If you crave tranquility, this might not be the ideal spot (and earplugs would be a helpful addition to your suitcase).
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Emporio Ixtapa. While we'll likely seek quieter accommodations in the future, we recommend this hotel for anyone who enjoys a vibrant, social atmosphere and appreciates convenient access to delicious local restaurants. Thank you, Emporio!
