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.

Breakfast buffet was great everyday, location was beautiful but a little far from town and a long taxi ride. Although we planned on staying on the resort most of the time so it wasn’t a huge inconvenience

We completely enjoyed everything. One thing that stood out was the absence of pushy salesmen trying to get you to buy some "membership". We've been scammed by that in other Mexican hotels. I was pleasantly surprised this establishment did not have that at all! Loved it and will definitely go back!

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, clean and comfortable, good food. We were with kids, the kids' club is quite small and activities are mostly indoors but they enjoyed it. One pool is adult-only, and the infinity pool is theoretically over 12 years but luckily this latter rule wasn't enforced, the infinity pool is really the gem of the resort! Along with the balinese beds near the beach which are in a very attractive nature setting and strangely enough always very available when we were there. I recommend doing the kayak tour especially for the good snorkelling on Playa Coral (bring your own snorkel if you have because with covid they only provide the goggles, and bring a towel to cover your legs in the kayak or foresee loads of sunscreen). We had a very pleasant stay, overall a good price-quality ratio compared to other upscale all-in resorts.
