Feb 10, 2026Girls getaway Feb 2026, beautiful beach
This resort is average. It is very clean but dated - it could use a refresh. Our deluxe ocean view room had a wonderful view of the ocean and the pool area. The location is good, with shops and restaurants across the street. The restaurant and meal options are limited, it would be great if they varied the menus from day to day. The service in the restaurants is hit & miss. The resort plays very loud music late at night, and it can be heard throughout. Geovani gives EXCELLENT service on the beach in the palapa area, he is definitely a plus for this resort. We got a good deal on the package price, so overall it was enjoyable.

Two weeks in paradise!
We just returned from a 14-night stay at Sunscape Dorado Pacifico Ixtapa, and this was our second time staying here. Once again, we had a great experience. The resort is in a great location close to town, and the beach is fantastic. The staff truly made the stay — everyone was friendly, engaging, and genuinely welcoming. A special shoutout to Genovani for the beach bar service; he was always pleasant, fun, and personable, and really added to our time on the beach. Agustina, our maid, did an excellent job as well — our room was always very clean and done quickly. This isn’t a 5-star resort, but it’s very reasonable for the price and offers great value thanks to the outstanding staff. We would definitely go back.

Sunscape dorado
We stayed about 10 days here. First, it is a fine hotel with good service and staff as many say. Good points - hot climate, courteous staff, good service, good food service at a la carte restaurants. No need to reserve at restaurants. Nice beach and easy walking access across the street to the small (touristy) town of Ixtapa. However there is only one pool and it gets uncomfortably crowded early with reserved chairs packed side by side in rows. There are also beach palapas. Pool staff will try to find you a chair and take away towels from reserved but unused chairs if you ask. They must make a watch on those who abuse the 1-hour limit as most do. Shade is at a premium. Restaurants - its a misnomer to claim "6 restaurants". The buffet is just divided into several sections. There is the Bluewater -good- and upstairs the more classy Italian Mario. There is a lunch "food truck" style burger/fries place. They do a nice buffet dinner in the garden area often before shows (not every night. ) Nice but probably would not go back because pool area is too hot and crowded. We did not take the Sun Club upgrade - it didnt seem worth it to have access to a small air conditioned bar and more snacks, and a restaurant area beside the Bluewater.
