Posada Real Ixtapa

First let me say that this resort was clean & safe which is a big thing for us . The staff were great. Especially Robert & Fabian in the restaurant. Hotel manager also exceptional. Housekeepers were great . Drinks & food not so much , no night entertainment , no sun loungers on the beach just hard very old wooden chairs . Food bland and repetitive. No à la carte meals . Only one buffet. We will not be back to this resort .

The first two nights I couldn't sleep because of musty smell and the Room was spoiled. Besides, for an all inclusive resorts the Food is very basic. Also the Swimming pool had slime, not very clean. The wifi signal is poor.

My husband and I vacationed from Apr 5-12, 2025. We travel alot and usually stay at a 4.5 -5 star but we thought we'd give this place a try as the reviews were decent and pics looked great. Unfortunately we made a big mistake on this place, this is the first time I've ever gave a bad review for a resort...which is not a "resort", is an all inclusive "hotel". We have rated this as a 3 star because there were a few good things. The staff were great although there was a major language barrier which is expected as we did go to Mexico and don't speak spanish, thanks to George for teaching us some. The view from the room was great as it was an ocean view, but unfortunately we were placed in a room with 2 beds instead of the king we requested, which ended up being a good thing as the food made me so sick I ended up in bed with travellers illness which I have never experienced before at this level, literally never left the room for 2.5 days but sick for 5 days. 6 day treatment of antibiotics required when I arrived back in Canada. What "resort" doesn't have a mini bar fridge in room!! No cold drinks for you lol. But the room was very clean, thanks to the wonderful cleaning staff. The buffet was less than mediocre, did not consist of breakfast meats at all, wieners and only breakfast safe items were omelets and fruit. Cereal was left out in containers from one day to the next. Everything else was pretty much the same everyday, very small assortment The only restaurant opened at 7:30 - 11:00 pm, 2:00 -5:00 pm and 7:30-10:00 pm. There was a snack bar from 1:00-6:00 posted but closed at 5:00 pm. So basically no food at lunchtime 12:00 or supper 5:00, this was definitely what we are used to at a "resort". Beautiful beach, well maintained. Too bad it's black flagged and no swimming in the ocean, would have been nice to know that in the resort description. There was an infinity pool, swim up bar, that was lovely. We enjoyed this for a couple of days as it wasn't too busy from Sunday - Wednesday. There was a bartender issue, he started at 11:00ish but disappeared at 11:30 - 12:30 ish for lunch...no coverage.
There are rules posted but not followed unfortunately. There are alot of children at the swim up bar splashing water in your drinks, diving off the side of the pool, free kicks in the back of the head as they jump over you. I get this is a family place but there are two pool's allocated for families and the swim up bar shouldn't have kids or rules should be enforced so all vacationers can enjoy the vacation they paid for. Will never suggest this place to anyone unfortunately as it is one of the only small resorts in this area.

Posada Real is convenient, on the beach and great service.

Property was nice. Pool area was quite lovely as well. Buffet food was just OK.

It all started on March 26/2025 - April 3/25
We arrived at the Zihautenajo airport and was received by the Posada Hotel General Manger Salvador Rodarte as he knew my wife was having dental implant surgery the next day.
Check in was smooth we were in our room and into our swimsuit within 20 minutes arriving at the hotel.
Our rooms were clean beyond immaculate with a little towel animal decorations every day. Our compliments to the housekeeping staff.
I can’t say enough of how Salvador leads his staff to perfection on a daily basis.
For a small resort, we’ve had first class service and first class food selection, of course breakfast always the best.
We have now found a new home here at the Posada.
Being we are in a smaller resort each staff member knows us by room number and by name.
The pools are amazing with one having a swim up bar.
The beach and Ocean are some of
The best I’ve seen. We witness the state inspection on the beach sand in front of the resort, there wasn’t so much as a toothpick found in the sand.
I highly recommend this resort for fun and relaxation.
My most sincere thank you to Salvador and his
Staff, bless you all till we see you again.

Was disappointed in the cleanliness of the rooms, area around pool smelled.

Such nice people

Quiet, what i didn't like was the food choices.

Ten of us headed to Posada Real Ixtapa to escape the cold. We were looking for a smaller, no frills resort and that's exactly what we got. A lot of care and attention was brought to keeping the hotel lobby, halls, rooms, pool, restaurant and grounds clean. The staff was super friendly and all had a great time.

There's no fancy shows in the evening, but they do have a solo person singing in the lounge every day. There's one restaurant, snack bar, pool bar and bar in the lounge. The resort gets quiet about 10:30 when the bar shuts down.

All rooms have a balcony, half face the ocean, the other half faces the front of the hotel. There's two pools - infinity pool (with bar) facing the ocean and a smaller pool that has a shallow portion for kids and volleyball net if that's more your speed. Check-in / check-out was quick and simple.

Beach is amazing and great for morning walks. You'll often see whales (thoughtout the day) and turtles (at night).

We thoroughly enjoyed our one week stay. We walked into "downtown" Ixtapa a couple times and found some great lounges.

Location, pool and beachfront

Was ok

Great property and staff. Very friendly.
One issue was that there wasn’t t any hot water in our shower. Otherwise, I would highly recommend

The view from my room and the pool on the beach with the bar was very beautiful.

Es pequeño pero cómodo y no hay tanto ruido, buen lugar para relajarse y pasarla bien poco variedad de comidas pero tiene buen sazón, lo recomiendo

Staff was so wonderful and helpful. Food and drinks were great! Everything so good. I highly recommend.
