Sunscape Dorado Pacifico Ixtapa, Vista Hermosa

I like the location and the service. Have been in this hotel 4 times. Not owned by a hotel chain. But lately no good package deals since Funjet does not have many flights anymore. I am using Apple Vacations now. E. Schuetz, Chicago

I am dreaming of revisiting this spot. The location was perfect for our purposes. The staff at this hotel were just great. Room was very comfortable and we loved our balcony facing the ocean, sand beach, with terrific sunset views and seeing far up and down the coast. It was close to night clubs and some very fine restaurants all within walking distance. Golfing very close as well. Other family members had rooms further up the beach from our Pacifico, ours were the better accommodations. For Canadian snowbirds, this was a perfect choice for a winter getaway, sunshine galore, wonderful Pacific Ocean waters, the warmth of the Mexican sun, a great pool with a swim-up-to bar, lots of fun, hotel staff gave various classes to entertain kids and adults as well. This was in 1989, so perhaps the set up is not quite the same now, I want to go check it out again. We loved it there!!!! and while there, do not miss on visiting Zihua!!!! We saw a lot of the area on tour buses as well, very very interesting. The locals were pleasant and treated us tourists well. Note: Females - We noticed that Mexican dining room attendants loved white hair - it is unusual in their country I guess for some reason. So ladies of a certain age, just go au naturel, do not dye your hair, let it be naturally white, blonde, faded, salt and pepper, whatever, the amigos in Mexico, the staff young fellows at hotels will adore you!!!!! I tell you, they made my day!!! The others in the group had dyed silvering hair, but not me. A pleased snowbird or 2 - Felice Navidad et Prospero Annyo Felicidad Am I right? Rusty.

The hotel is awsome. Rooms are great (all with ocean view...great view too) great food, pools are awesome...staff was great. We didn't have a single problem while we were there and loved every minute. Highly recommended.

A new complex is currently under construction next to the hotel. The first room they gave us over looked it. After two attempts they finally moved us to a room with an ocean view. Also, the first room did not include a safe or have lights in the bathroom. The floors were alway dirty even after the maids cleaned. The chairs around the pool were broken. This was our third time and we will not return until the hotel is renovated. The location is wonderful , but the hotel is in desperate need of a major renovation.

Beautiful location! Friendly, helpful staff! Delicious food! Cold cerveza! Safe tap water! We have traveled a bit and rate this trip close to our trips to Hawaii and Aruba partially because of the Dorado Pacifico. We will be back! I cannot understand some of the bad comments....we did not have a single bad experience.

Positives -location in the middle of long beach -beautiful beach, great for walking -no time share people in hotel -few beach vendors -nice atrium in hotel Negatives -gritty, could be a lot cleaner -very small, 2 person balcony -have to get up early to get a beach palapa/chairs -overcharged for internet service -expensive to eat at hotel and restaurants compared to other Mexican destinations such as Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan -agents more interested in selling tours than giving information about Ixtapa

Fantastic, friendly staff, nice, clean rooms (as good as the 3 Hiltons I've stayed at), very good food in pleasant surroundings, nice pool and activities on the beach and around the pool. Lots of rich Mexicans bring their families here because it is safe and relatively quiet and the ocean is very calm. The area: very nice and inviting, but don't expect an action-packed stay. This is for families and couples, and is great for that. It is not near anything, though, so know that going in. It is not Miami. It is strictly a resort area, and is great for what it is.

perfect vacations for relaxing the servis is exelent the people are nice

The hotel has a very peacfull atmosphere all of the time. No matter what time of day or night. The staff is extremely polite and friendly and always willing to please.

We have stayed at the Dorado Pacifico several times. I have looked at other properties in this area, but I feel that the Dorado is the Best! From the minute you step out of your cab the service can not be beat. The hotel is inviting and welcoming, from check in to check out. The rooms are spacious and clean. The pool area is beautiful and we have so much fun just hanging out. The food at the restaurants is great! And again, the service...wonderful! This hotel is in a perfect location. Within walking distance to great shopping and restaurants. The hotel is right on the beach, where you'll find parasailing and jet skis for rent. Strolls along the beach at sunset...very romantic. Ixtapa is such a great place in Mexico, and the Dorado Pacifico is where to stay!
