Find hotels in Ixtapa - Zihuatanejo from SAR 107

"Amazing staff and great location to walk everywhere. My stay was perfect and I would stay here again and again!"

"The facilities of the hotel are poorly located with elevators serving all floors on the one side only and amenities on the opposite sides. Restaurants served good food with exception of bread which were stale and dry at every sitting. The local wine prices are expensive more than $80 for a bottle of local Merlot. English is a struggle throughout the facility. Room conditions are not maintained to the expectation of the name. Our room air conditioner functioned poorly the entire stay. The lobby bar had poor music choice, boring and repetitive. A single entertainer paid to perform in the evenings would have much better results. We will not be returning. Distances to shopping and entertainment is non existent and taxis are the only means of transport. A hotel shuttle bus would be an much better option."

"Francisco took great care of us everyday on the beach!"

"We arrived to our room not being available due to them extending someone else's stay for a night. So, the trip did not begin well. We finally got our room at 5pm the next night. Adan in the beachside "snack" shack was the best and Cleo at the towel bar also! Both greeted us daily and made us feel welcome. We loved our beachside room, however the Emporio (hotel next door) had speakers blasting at our room until 12 or 1AM most nights. Food at the "snack" shack was the best. The two buffets were ok. We generally eat out most nights so the fact that the buffet was mediocre didn't matter much to us. We found it very hard to know what was going on or how things at the hotel worked. We had to seek out help often as no one really helped in that way. We have been to Ixtapa multiple times since 2005, and have tried multiple hotels over the years, if not for the loud music next door I think we would stay here again. We found staff to be kind all except the one beach waiter who would not give us the time of day EVER! He would literally come as far as our chairs and turn around. Was quite disappointing. "

"We loved our stay at Catalina Beach resort. It was our 2nd trip to zihua but our first stay at Catalina. We loved the location. It was a nice distance to walk to town. We enjoyed having the private beach with palapas, beach towels and our own bar. Our favorite bartender Alberto took very good care of us. The breakfasts had a great variety of food.....fruit, eggs, bacon, eggs, pancakes, french toast, juice, coffee....and much more. We ate dinner at the resort for 3 nights and they were by far some of our best meals of our 2 week stay. One night we enjoyed the sunset beach bbq dinner and it was FABULOUS! The steak was melt in your mouth and the lobster was to die for. A big kudos to Hector who served us for breakfast and for 2 of our panoramic bar dinners. He was so helpful.....recommended things for us to do around town and sharing lots of local stories. The ladies at the reception accommodated all of our requests. It was a 100% stress-free holiday and we will definitely be returning. Thank you Alberto, Hector and the rest of the Catalina team for making our holiday on to remember."

"We enjoyed our stay. We had a lovely room with two beds, a separate bathroom with tub and a huge balcony. The view from our room was unobstructed. We watched the sunset which was spectacular over Ixtapa Island. The staff was professional and friendly and because the hotel was not full we were able to eat in the lovely Oyster Bar Restaurant several times. We had breakfast in Colores every morning. I am not impressed with the "dog friendly" aspect of the hotel. The nicest seats near the front with the view and air flow are reserved for people with dogs. These people are choosing food from the buffet without washing their hands first. We went our on the sailboat twice for a little tour out in front of the hotel and saw the beaches of Azul Grand and the old Club Med site. There was a Karaoke hour from 9-10 every night followed by disco and dancing which was fun. Overall we spent the week at the hotel by the pool, walking the beach and just relaxing. We would definitely return."
