Went there for my honeymoon and I think there couldn't have been a better place to zone out and treat yourself. After a less than glamorous 25 minute ride from the airport which takes you through the dirty and dodgy Zihua, you arrive in Ixtapa that has been modernized and landscaped. Then, the resort itself is unbelievable. Open air everything... More

This is our second time to Capella Ixtapa and the service was even better than the last time. We were so amaze that the staffs remember our names from the previous visit. This time, we met a wonderful lady as our Personal Assistant, small in size but she has a big wonderful heart and a strong spirit. One of the... More

We have traveled all over the world looking for a getaway place where we can truly relax and enjoy our vacation. The service at this resort is just terrific, you feel truly welcome by the staff every single day. We were more impressed with the attention to detail, the name recognition, and the natural warm from the people. You just... More

I recently spent six nights and seven days at Capella Ixtapa as a solo traveler. I stayed in a Capella Deluxe Ocean-Front Suite on the Classic Capella Package. To say that my stay at Capella Ixtapa was like stumbling onto happiness is not an understatement, by any means. The Hotel Everything about the location, layout and amenities are built around... More

Big surprise came when we received the bill and was charged for an extra bottle of wine as well as an extra entree for a total of $95 . Thank goodness we checked our bill or we would have ended...

My wife and I just spent 7 nights at Capella Ixtapa and it was amazing - everything the other reviewers have said and more. I'll just note a couple things: -- I'd recommend paying for the Capella Deluxe Ocean front Jr. Suite - ours was on the 6th floor (only the penthouse suites are above it). We had complete privacy...

The Terrace was without exception the best feature of this gorgeous hotel. Huge with a fantastic ocean view, a lounging coach and a infinity dipping pool that was a dream come true. Every... More

Excellent hotel. I've stayed at a lot if upper tier hotels and this hotel is up there with the best. Mesmerizing views, delicious food, and great service. I love the open feel of the rooms and the infinity pool in each room is just icing on the cake. Having a drink and appetizers on the patio of the lounge/bar over... More

What a great place. The service is just terrific, you feel truly welcome by the staff every single day. The spa is highly recommended, expensive (150-200 usd for a facial) but worth every penny. Food and drinks are fantastic, best margaritas cocktails. Even though the hotel has a private beach it's very rocky and you cannot swim in it; but... More

We ended up sending our daughter and new son-in-law here for their honeymoon October 2012. They were so impressed they have their best friends going for their honeymoon this June.
