Cala de Mar Resort & Spa Ixtapa

OUTSTANDING most magnificent setting -beautiful small hotel BUT the staff and the service and attention is phenomenal The manager Mariadna was accommodating and so good Lady that checked us in Marilyn was very sweet Massage at the spa by Brenda was outstanding I would highly recommend the resort-we went into the town which had huge hotels and was busier-we went into the other city and it was cute but this was the best match for us and I love that there no children -adult only we will go back for sure

The best choice to stay calm and relax . Beautiful and spacious rooms with the best view and the best commodities to rest. The staff's attention is outstanding!

Had dinner at the seafood restaurant. We explained to the waiter that my girlfriend is very allergic to garlic. They brought bread with a chimichurri dip which has garlic, Immediately my girlfriends throat started to close up .We left ! They don't take allergies seriously enough,My girlfriend's throat closes up to the point where she cannot breath when she is exposed to garlic, not a good experience.

The hotel itself is fine, first class service, excellent staff and a good cliff top situation. All of this ruined by totally poor dining experiences. My colleague and I selected the pool side restaurant for our first night, a charming location. Supposedly this was the seafood restaurant. We asked to see the wine list, of the 12 bottles or so listed, only one was available. Then to look at the 'fresh' fish displayed on the ice counter. All the selections were fillets and an insipid size. My fish was dry and clearly not fresh. This was served with unappetising and undercooked vegetables. The second night to the main restaurant, on arrival the table we had reserved had been allocated to somebody else, then the main course served before we had finished our appetisers The next night we had to escape, but this involves a 20 minute cab ride to the town of Zihuatanejo, and then back again...not ideal. The resort was operating at less than 50% occupancy, but at its supposed standard no excuse for the poor catering.

This place is paradise ! This was our second time going. We are trying to go yearly. Definitely a favorite. Everything is top notch , from the staff, food, spa and of course the views. Beds are so comfy. I keep forgetting to ask what pillows they use cause I want to order some for myself. Do yourself a favor and book a massage. They are amazing and professional quality. They know what they are doing. You won’t want to leave this place. Absolutely perfection.
