Got back yest. from the Fontan. We paid $300. plus taxes for the week, AI. It's not worth anymore money than that. It is clean and well kept, the trees and plants etc are very nice and lush. Hotel is older and dated and needs some work, but it's not a dump at all. Just lower end. Staff are all... More

We stayed at the Hotel Fontan in Ixtapa for 7 nights in January 2012. I would rate the hotel as a 2 star. We opted for the AI option....and definitely got our moneys worth. The rooms were average with beds a bit harder than we like. The food was average to a bit above average. The only downfall was that... More

Our family of four stayed at the Hotel Fontan from Dec. 25-Jan 1 2012. This was our first trip to stay in Ixtapa and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The weather was perfect and the ocean and beach were beautiful. The waves were perfect for boogie boarding, which our family enjoys. Hotel: The hotel was older and smaller than most in... More

We recently visited Ixtapa. It was a beautiful place, but the Hotel Fontan....where does one start? We have been to many all inclusive resorts, but this one does not even rank. The beds were very small, there idea of a double/queen is like a big twin in Canada, the food was tasteless and not much variety. There was hardly any... More

Trip Advisor is our Travel Bible. We never book a trip without reading other peoples’ opinions. We chose the Fontan based on many good reviews, unfortunately, I believe that this time we were sadly misled. My wife and I are well travelled. We have had twenty nine all-inclusive trips, seventeen of which have been in Mexico. I have never written... More

As our first trip to Mexico,Do not ever experience it at the Fonton! It is the most filthy mold and mildew so called resort I have ever seen! The staff is rude and not helpful at all! You have to pay for a safe that is kept at the front desk. Our mattress and boxspring were so covered in mildew... More

From all the Canadian tourists we met at Fontan, NOT ONE was satisfied with this hotel. So we don't understand reviews stating "We didn't want to leave" or "Now looking to book again". This hotel gives Mexico a bad name. More

This is not the worlds most luixurious hotel. However it is across the road from downtown. It is also on probably one of the best beaches in mexico. Very rarely do you get both of these. Also it is usually priced close in relation to say a cheaper Cuban holiday, only the food at the Fontan is very good. Especially... More
