Azul Ixtapa Grand All Inclusive Suites - Spa & Convention Center

Traveling from the Hotel Zone in downtown IXTAPA, to get to Azul Grande is on beautifully groomed and clean road. After checking into assigned room, the management called in no time to ask if we like everything or need anything. Azul Ixtapa Grande is a SPOTLESS resort. I was very impressed with their immaculate landscaping, full of flowers. We used mainly the infinity pool, while that one has the best views of the ocean. I believe that pool should be an adult only and existing adults only for kids. That pool it takes much longer to get sun, better for kids' skin. Kids do not care for views. Pool service was working constantly serving drinks 11am-6pm. There is no food around pools. Elevators on the property are in 3 stages. They can take ADA persons comfortable and safely, even with wheelchair, right to the beach. Beach is swimmable and safe. All the staff was super friendly. They have many uniforms, with great designs and always clean. There are plenty employees working all day around for the comfort of guests. The beach has picturesque walking corridor to get to the other Azul Resort. Azul Grande guests can visit that resort to eat, swim and get entertained. The guest from there cannot visit Azul Grande. In the middle of the walk path is a fun restaurant. Oyster Bar, it needs booking in advance. We loved the Blackened Fish and the magnificent sunset. There is NO smoking anywhere on the resort property. Smokers must go to the beach. Employees are watching and reminding to the offenders. Azul Grande has 3 themed restaurants, all are good. Buffet was limited to amount of food, but every dish was good. The amount of food at the buffet depends on the amount of people visiting the hotel at that time...makes sense to me. My highlight was a Catch of the day, a Pop-Up restaurant above the water, for lunch. The fish was "soooo" fresh. We have not seen many dogs in the resort, if then, mainly little dogs. No dogs were at the pool area, I was afraid to see that.

Rooms are ample, clean and comfortable, with great views to the Pacific Ocean and Isla de Ixtapa. There are 3 pools, one only for adults. Beach is small, but private and nice to swim in the sea. Food a good at Aqua buffet and excellent at the 3 specialty restaurants, though surprisingly, you can only visit one of them per 2 nights stay. Overall, a great hotel for Ixtapa, good value for the price, excellent amenities.

The property was very clean and the layout was great. The pool and beach was easy to access. The food was actually great-way better than other places we haves stayed at. Their fitness classes scheduled were stimulating (spinning.) Had a great experience at the spa. They truly know how to pamper and take care of you. I really enjoyed the private beach with the different lounging areas. It was nice to know there were only guests of the hotel allowed on the beach. The rooms were properly cleaned and mini fridges restocked every day. The robes and slippers were the best after having spent all day in the sun and water.

Great service. Modern and well maintained. Excellent location (private but close enough to great amenities such as crocodile sanctuary,Ixtapa Island, Playa linda, great cyclo path). The jacuzzi in the rooms. the View!

Beautiful views, great service, good food, spacious rooms
