Birthday getaway
chindian28 (Guelph, Canada) on Jan 07, 2026
Being UVC members we were looking for a budget friendly 4 day get away in the sun and we chose Sunscape Dorado Pacifico Ixtapa. Turned out to be a great choice. More of a hotel-style, compact resort as opposed to the sprawling resorts people think of nowadays, the location is great. Beachfront and across from a small local retail hub, very cool to be beachside one minute, and in the local life just by crossing the street. Overall, the resort is a little tired and definitely needs some upgrades, but the staff is fantastic. Despite the immediate impression of the resort, the rooms were pleasingly fresh and clean! Just a tip, "partial ocean view" means you look at the condo next door...unless you lean out over the balcony to see a sliver of water! There were a lot of locals enjoying the resort as well so lots of kids! The beach is absolutely stunning..panoramic views..beautiful waters..perfect for morning walks with coffee, just drinking it all in. A busy beach, but large enough that it doesn't seem too crowded. The turtle hatchery was an awesome bonus we were unaware of. If you're as lucky as we were, you'll get to see a turtle release! (You can hear the waves crashing at night from your room zzzzzzz....) If you are traveling as adults only, we recommend joining the Sun Club. The beach view rooms (Floors 19 and 20) private beach cabanas, beach drink service and breakfast and lunch restaurant off the Blue Water Grill (Sun Club only) was nice and quiet. Luis and Eduardo were AMAZING! Top notch service. My wife enjoyed a treatment at the spa which she loved, but noted to the manager that during her treatment, you can hear the kids excitement as the water slides are beside the spa, and kids club is attached to the spa. Not a deal breaker, but kinda counter intuitive to a relaxing spa visit. We MUST give a special shout out to the following people for the excellent service! Diana - Restaurant Hostess; Always remembered our name and room number and had the most beautiful smile and very professional. Christopher - Concierge; You need it? Christopher will do anything he can to make your stay the most enjoyable! Thank you Christopher! Hugo - Restaurant Manager; Always assisting his staff with a smile or in our case a lost voice. Cheers to you Hugo. Sandra - UVC Representative; Went above and beyond to make our quick stay a perfect one and making sure we had the perfect room. First time we have been treated so well as members of UVC....Thank you Sandra!
Noisy place with a nice beach
Steve H (Albuquerque, New Mexico) on Jan 05, 2026
There were 11 in our group, 5 young children and 6 adults. Arriving just after Christmas and staying 7 nights. It was a busy time and so the facilities were crowded. Fortunately, with the kids, we seemed to want to eat earlier than most and so avoided the crowds. We got the sun club upgrade but found that the dedicated restaurant was not well suited to small kids so we mostly ate at the buffet. The food was adequate, but nothing great. Salad and fruit were available but really limited and poorly prepared. The new years eve party emcee was awful and the sound so loud we had to leave early. In general my biggest complaint was that the music around the pool was too loud to enjoy and depending on where you were sitting, it made it hard to relax. The pool DJ on New years day played techno music that was so repetitive and loud we went to the beach. My final noise complaint was the disco in a neighboring property was disruptive on the weekend nights and new years eve until 4 or 5 am. We had the white noise in the room on max but the bass from the music was impossible to mask and we were on the 20th floor.
