The 2 BR, 2 Bath suite we occupied was among the top 3 or 4 of the more than 20 hotel rooms we have booked in Mexico over the last 15 years. Unfortunately the Park Royal Hotels are all inclusive and neither the food nor the amenities were up to the level of the Barcelo or other nearby resorts. Breakfast... more

Just returned from the Villas. This was our second visit and we love the location. They will be closed very shortly and refurbished. Which they need desperately. The new ones will have an elevator which will be helpful. The staff was quite friendly and could speak English. We used the e-mail room most every day. Our maid came each morning... more

We just returned from a week stay at the Barcelo/Royal Villas resort with our 4 children aged 14 to 22. We were celebrating 2 of their graduations. I had stayed at the Barcelo (Sheraton) in 1984 and was surprised by the growth of both Zihuat and Ixtapa but it still had the same feeling. My husband and I had an... more

After several years of east coast vacations, we were really looking forward to our third trip back to Park Royal Villas in Ixtapa. It has been three years since our last visit. Starting a the airport, things were not quite the same. A fellow who identified himself as a representative of our vavcation club (with appropriate tags) got us a... more

This resort has a great location but don't expect much for the rooms. The decor is "Mexican Ugly" The beds were hard. Bring your own blender or buy one to make your drinks. We only had sporadic hot water. The building we were in had multiple plumbing leaks. We were forced out of our room while they tore into the... more

I stayed at the Park Royal Villas 1/28 - 2/4. These are timeshare units and I went as a guest of an owner. I have traveled to Cancun (twice), Puerto Plata and Punta Cana and I enjoyed Ixtapa the most. The villas are all oceanfront and anything above the ground level has an open air balcony with a jacuzzi. I... more

My daughter and I stayed at the Royal Villas for 1 week..choosing not to utilize the all-inclusive plan through the Barcelo. It really was a good choice as we found some really great restaurants in town. However, we did have some meals at the hotel and found them to be pretty good. The room itself was a one bedroom with... more

We stayed at the Park Royal Villas (Barcelo Resort) our time-share with Royal Holiday and couldn't ask for anything better, except maybe an elevator instead of stairs but that did give us our daily exercise which we needed considering all the food we ate. Our accommodations were a 2 BR, 2-story condo with a stairway that connected us together. Had... more
