Great time again at the Sunscape!
Reviewed By Curtis RMy wife and I have been here several times and it never disappoints. The entire staff is very attentive and will go out of their way to ensure you are taken care of. We love Da Mario's and the Bluewater Grill. The fish tacos at the Grill are very tasty and the grill also does an la carte breakfast which is very good. We met some wonderful people from Alberta, Saskatchewan and BC that really made our trip extra special. This year we decided to bite the bullet and speak with a UVC representative of the AMR group and I must say, it was a very nice experience. Mauricio was our our rep, and we never felt pressured or rushed into making a decision. He made us feel relaxed and provided a lot of useful information, plus he has a great sense of humor! I highly recommend that you request Mauricio to take you on a tour and discuss the membership privileges. Later on we met Mariana, also from the UVC team and she was absolutely adorable and answered all our questions. We will definitely be returning to the Sunscape again!

After Covid 2022
Reviewed By Mike MAfter not being here for more than 2 years, I was quickly reminded why I always stay here. The food is good and all the staff are awesome. Special thanks to the pool event staff, Quenie, Teresa and Julian. I'm 60 years old and they kept me busy playing water polo and volleyball with a bunch of 20 year olds. I would recommend this hotel to anyone, especially if you have children or not.

Never again
Reviewed By 920zdenkalThis is my second time at this resort. Last time I was here was in 2010. The quality and service went down. I will never come back again. Cheap wine, cheap bad drinks. The wine tastes watered down. Food ok. My hair literally melted in the swimming pool. My face and lips got burned after only one time swimming. Nobody cares to even ask if I am ok. On the weekends local get 50% off so the resort gets packed.

Lowest quality food possible and irritating strict mask enforcement makes you feel like you are staying at the airport.
Reviewed By BeemuirmanThis was one of the worst vacations I’ve had that are all inclusive resort. I will describe in detail what the problems were and what some of the good things about the hotel are. The Good: -Nice employees -Great Location -Fabulous beach -Clean hotel -Nice fitness center -Easy to get around -Good cold beer. -Proper temperatures for food. The Bad: -The most hideous low quality food I’ve ever had at all-inclusive resort. No beef, white meat chicken breast, guacamole, etc. -No authentic Mexican food. -Too strict mask enforcement makes me feel like I am lodging at the airport. Very disturbing and irritating. -Way too many kids! Terrible! -No adult section of pool! Disgrace. -Cheap in quantity of water bottles in the room. Water is extremely important. I was so excited to get home and eat normal, high-quality healthy food. This was one of the worst vacations I’ve ever had.

UPDATE - 1 week into our stay
Reviewed By JkkflynnThey did move us from the crappy room on the first floor to a room with a beautiful view on the 7th floor in our 2nd day here. So many amazing employees. From Susie in the spa to Guadalupe in the dining area to several amazing bellboys. Dennis is a HUGE asset to this resort. His English and commitment to customers is above and beyond. Our housekeeper did an amazing job. Everyone worked so hard and took pride in their jobs. All inclusive but this doesn’t include what they consider to be top shelf alcohol (this was a first for me). The drinks we did have were pretty watered down. Irish Cream isn’t usually considered top shelf! The food is not the best, they have a lot to work on at the buffet and the poolside snack bar. A lot of the food is cold or warm. Poolside you can’t get a hot meal, in the buffet you can only get hot food at the grill. In the restaurant the food is better but not a lot of choices (an English version of the menu would be helpful). Having to make a reservation for the restaurant daily is difficult if you have plans outside the resort. All in all, Ixtapa and Zihua are beautiful towns. The waves were huge outside the resort (from what we heard this was because of the full moon and we are approaching rainy season). It was awesome to watch. Location is great. This was our first trip this far south and we learned that Pesos are a must (unlike PV, Mazatlan and Cabo). Not sure that Tesoro is the resort for us in the future.

Will not return
Reviewed By marko2mBeen to this hotel for a second time after few years. What a regret! Beach: ? It is super small, full of stones, water was really dirty with loads of dead fish. Rooms: ? They are of a good size and clean. Food: ?There are three buffet restaurants, but all of them serving the same food, not overly tasty. Entertainment: ??The DJ music in the night was not good, and since it was in the main building, it was very noisy despite the closed doors of the room and an AC being switched on. Shows were more less ok, even though they were in a cheep side. There were billiards, table football and table tennis, but all were super old. Activities:?? The activities and people were really good. Even though for example, bicycles for the outside biking roots were so old that I needed to change mine twice. Service and stuff: ??This is probably the worst of all. They were all very focused on their own stuff, not friendly, not trying to be helpful at all. At the check I , I was assigned a room that already had people in it. Then I was assigned another room that was a downgraded to what I have paid for. But the stuff, manager included, didn’t want to listen to me, we’re very offensive and with no willingness to help. After more than 3 hours spent at the reception, I finally got offered a late check out, but still they didn’t want / have the room that I paid for and were constantly repeating the robotic answer that they want to help and that the fault was of the agency I have booked with (even though I have paid directly at the hotel). Overall, for this amount of money, travelling very often o Ixtapa, as a fact I know that there are much better hotels, with better beaches, entertainment and service than this one.
