Family vacation

Marixa M on Aug 18, 2026

My family and I have stayed at Azul several times and we had always enjoyed it and this time as well, but I have to say that I felt disappointed the mini bars with drinks in the rooms were no longer there. We asked and they said they had been removed from all rooms and if we needed drinks we could visit the local store but then again there was no mini refrigerators to keep drinks either or we can ask for room service at an extra charge. Everything else was great as usual but if you are looking forward to the mini bar like me just be mentally prepared.

MOSTLY GOOD

Tony B on Mar 16, 2026

This is a great resort. too bad they spoil it with the constant LOUD LOUD hammering sound, they call it music. We were able to sit or dance in the lounge at one point. Not anymore ,unless you want your eardrums blown out.

First impressions matter

Cisfra (Barcelona, Spain) on Feb 18, 2026

I recently stayed at this hotel after hearing great recommendations from friends. Unfortunately, my experience did not quite live up to the expectations. The biggest disappointment was the reception staff. Upon arrival, Michelle and another gentleman whose name started with “J” were quite rude and unfriendly, which made for a very cold and unwelcoming start to the stay. First impressions matter, and sadly this one set the tone in a negative way. That said, I want to give special recognition to Ricardo at reception — he was extremely friendly and helpful. Kudos to him for standing out with such a positive attitude. The housekeeping service was excellent. The housekeeper (I believe her name was Jahara) did an amazing job and even made a cute whale out of the towels, which was a lovely touch. The buffet waitstaff were wonderful — very friendly and attentive, always making sure everything was in order. The waiters at the pool/snack area were also fantastic and welcoming. However, the quality of the food at both the buffet and the snack bar was disappointing. Unfortunately, it did not meet expectations. While there were definitely some outstanding staff members, the negative initial experience with reception and the poor food quality make me unsure if I would return. I truly hope the hotel takes this feedback into consideration, as there is clearly potential for a much better overall guest experience.

Our favorite place!

beachgirlCanada (canada) on Apr 04, 2025

My husband and I have been to this resort 9 times since 2015. It is just one of our favorite resorts to visit. There are a few changes that we miss from years ago, but it is definitely not a deal breaker for us. The resort is clean, and the view from the room and infinity pool is breathtaking. We also love going into Ixtapa to some of our favorite restaurants for dinners when we do not have an a la carte reservation. We also love the people that work at this resort! It is nice to see people that we know each time we return. We have some names of employees that were so great, but really they all need recognition! Pool bars- Juan, Luis, Isidoro, Carlos, Saul Mexican restaurant-Francisco, Miguel Buffet- Margarito, Adi We had a problem in early February with missing our connecting flight to Ixtapa. The resort helped us work with WestJet to get our trip rebooked for March. We will definitely be back for visit #10 next year!!!!!!
