"I had a wonderful stay at Las Brisas Ixtapa, and the highlight was truly the people who work there. The concierge, Javier, was especially exceptional—warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. His English is excellent, and he offered fantastic suggestions for a solo traveler wanting to explore the beaches and sights around Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo. My housekeeper also deserves special mention. She cleaned my room with so much diligence and detail every day. A tip for future guests: leave a generous tip on day one and ask for extra water; the single liter provided in the room isn’t quite enough for the day. The rooms can’t be beat. Every single one has a private balcony overlooking the resort’s secluded cove—sunrises and sunsets are stunning from up there. The rooms are spacious, modern, well-kept, and the beds are very comfortable. One note: if you like to sleep with your balcony doors open to hear the ocean, just know the AC automatically shuts off (something I discovered after my first night). The resort’s design is incredible—built into the side of a cliff, so the walk to the beach and pools takes you along stone pathways winding through lush jungle. The scenery is truly special. The adults-only pool has sweeping ocean views and plenty of loungers and shade. The beach itself is beautiful and has lots of chairs, umbrellas, bathrooms, and showers. My only critique (nothing to do with the hotel) is that the ocean waves can be strong. "

"Staff is excellent. They are passionate about their job. Exceptional communication and care. Rooms are fantastic. Overall A+."

"Great hotel, staff super friendly "

"We loved staying at the Catalina Beach Resort. The hotel is in a beautiful location and the rooms are spacious and well appointed. The hotel is situated in mature vegetation and price is great for what it offers. The hotel is well loved and the staff friendly. We hope we will be back. "
