Hoteles en Ixtapa

The staff and ground at this hotel are absolutely incredible. The beach was well kept and their dine anywhere policy was very nice. I agree with other posters about the prices (a bit high in comparison to other locations). We took advantage of the spa and enjoyed a massage on the beach - truly incredible. Pro: Service was prompt and friendly. Put plainly it was the best we have ever enjoyed at a hotel. Everyone spoke English and was eager to help me learn bits of Spanish. Grounds were beautiful with flowers everywhere. Mixed drinks were great and the selection was incredible (150 different types of tequila?!). Finally the beach... raked each day with the perfect mix of palms and lounge chairs. The staff would stealthily set up a dining table directly behind your lounge chair whenever you requested a menu. Cons: The bed was one of those NASA foam things (not very comfortable for a whimp like me used to sleeping on a pillow top). There were some frogs in the lagoon that ke...

For a description of the Tides Zihuatanejo, look under PERFECTION in the dictionary. Beach, service, rooms, amenities, food, ambience, etc. We were so grateful for the online company offering a vacation package there. I am ambivalent about writing a rave review of this hotel, because I want it to stay quiet and available, but do want it to continue to be successful. From the hanging king-size beds beachfront, to the plunge pools, to the plasma TVs with DVD players, you will think you are in Mexican heaven.

From the second I stepped onto their property, I was treated like a queen! Anything I needed, questions, they were there for me. I noticed they treated every single person like they were queens and kings. If you don't go, you will miss the best place on earth. I am 100% going to return in 2009. I'm already doing research for the best vacation packages. See you there!!!

The Tides is an amazing place to stay. Can't say enough about the service, the accomodations, the pool, the beach...the list goes on. My wife and I came to celebrate our 1st anniversary with another couple and we were not disappointed. The staff catered to our every need and always went well beyond our expectations. You have to try the Sense of the Night dinner where you're served dinner on the beach at low tables surrounded by candles, relaxing music and a bonfire...it was awesome! A word of advice - go to the Comercial Mexicana which is $3 cab ride away and stock up on essentials like water, alcohol and snacks and these can be a bit pricey at The Tides. Great restaurants off site - La Perla is a good for an inexpensive lunch/dinner right down the beach from The Tides, Caprichios in Zihua has awesome burgers, Bandidos in Zihua good lunch and evening bar scene, Casa Bahia overlooks Zihua Bay and has fantastic views, try the tuna steak. Beccofinos in on the pier in Ixtapa is a bit price...

Fantastic friendly service and beautiful beach.If I were rich Id go every year.The meal plan is the best way to go for a late breakfast and dinner.Well worth it because the food is great.We saved by going to the little store down the beach and buying beer there.At the tides they are $* each. Our room was wonderful and very cllean.The lagoon and all the lush plants make this resort so pretty.

It was my fiance's 40th birthday so we wanted to travel somewhere nice and relaxing. I searched the internet and found The Tides...based on the pictures, this was the place. We actually weren't expecting it to look as good as the pictures we'd seen, but it turned out it was even more beautiful in person--it is amazing. You feel like you are in paradise. We had a Lagoon Suite with our own private infinity plunge pool that was less than a minute walk from the gorgeous beach...and since it was the off-season, it was almost like having the place to ourselves. The suite was fabulous, the main infinity pool was fabulous (and for adults only!) and the service was fabulous. There were a few teenagers and smaller children, but for the most part, the guests were all adults, which we also found very, very nice. The only downside was the cost of the food and drinks at the resort itself; however, there are many restaurants along the beach in either direction from the resort--you literally ne...

We were looking for a small comfortable hotel on the beach with good service and food and we got exactly what we were looking for and more. The staff were all very polite, efficient and courteous. Our beach side room was perfect with our only small gripe being that the bed was not very comfortable. The location is beautiful with lovely views that I never tired of. The adults only infinity pool was kept at a perfect temperature and with a no kids it was a great place to have a drink and relax. My wife and I would certainly return.
