Booked the Emporio based on previous reviews and was totally satisfied. Location, service, rooms, etc. all were better than expected. Free WiFi allowed me access to work while still enjoying the relaxation of the waves crashing on the beach. Booked on Orbitz with airfare and the Emporio is a great value. Did not eat at the hotel because of the... more

My wife and I stayed at the Emporio Ixtapa from July 31 to Aug 5th 2009 for our 1 yr anniversary. After much research on tripadvisor I chose to stay at the Emporio. I went there a little scared due to the reviews of the hotel. I would like to start by saying that the hotel exceeded our expectations .... more

We have been coming here for 8 years and it seems the hotel is going down hill. The safe and the air conditioning did not work when we arrived. They fixed ac but the safe will not be fixed. There is no place to keep our documents and money. They are locked in our car. The gym is poor. the... more

Stayed at the Emporio in Ixtapa when we first got there. Impressive entrance to the hotel as you see the ocean and pool. Check in was a breeze with friendly service. Paid a little extra and got the ocean view room. In my opinion, it was worth it over the mountain view rooms.. pool was nice..very warm..beach area was nice... more

What we found out is....The Emporio exceeded all of our expectations and more. Check in and out were easy and fast. The location of this hotel cannot be beat. The room was... more

I dont have many positive things to say. This hotel says they have 4 or 5 restaurants but there was only 2 open. The spa was closed yet they advertised packages for the spa. The 'fitness room' consisted of 1 one treadmill and a few weights. We decidced to go "all inclusive" for the first 3 days. This meant that... more

We would definitely go back again. The first few days we were a bit disappointed with how crowded the pool was. It was a long weekend Mexican Holiday, and the pool area was packed with families and small children. We couldn't find empty beach chaises either. After 3 days, all seemed fine again, but the weekend crowd seemed to be... more

My husband and I, and 2 other couples stayed at the Emporio Ixtapa from Jan 28 - Feb 4, 2009. We booked in December with Nolitours and took advantage of an exceptionally good rate for the "almost all inclusive" package. We had previously visited this hotel (see our last review "Toronto 047" written April 3, 2007) and took issue with... more

Hotel Emporio has everything that you would want at a hotel on the beach. Great ocean views, wonderful sunsets and an attentive staff. My son had a skin reaction which we later found out was a reaction to lime juice with sun tan lotion, but never the less the manager called a doctor to come see him and the hotel... more
