We had read the bad reviews and saw that the hotel was down rated after we booked and were almost sick with worry. As it turned out it was our best holiday ever. The rooms were great -all 3 couples had a great view - one couple had twin beds when they ordered doubles, but oh well. The food was... more

Having read all reviews prior to getting to Ixtapa, I was nervous...but pleasantly surprised when I arrived. I got a room on the 7th floor with 2 balconies, and great views. Very comfortable and spacious, and the maid service each day was very good. Don't expect to be staying at the Ritz Carlton, and the place isn't huge (which I... more

Just returned from a week in Ixtapa/Z-Weather was awesome, beach was perfect...Did not go AI(stayed in an adjacent villa), but the people who did appeared to be having the times of their lives, especially since most were from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Canada. There was no shortage of beer and liquor for them as they got their money's worth in the... more

Anyone who has been to mexico before knows a four star in mexico is not the same as canadian or a american four star. I obsessed over all the reviews and was terrified. When we arrived we got a room in the so called basement, It was above ground floor and looked on to the court yard area. The room... more

I was very pleased with our trip. I must admit I had read some of the reviews on this web site and was very nervous about going. I had actually read what I would consider horror stories. I'm glad we didn't change our plans. Although this resort is considerably smaller than what we have been used to, I thought the... more

When we arrived at the Tesoro we were informed that it no longer was the Costa Real which we had paid for. We arrived late at night and were told they had overbooked. We were given 2 rooms in the basement (we were with another couple). The rooms were moldy and musty smelling so we told them we would not... more

Never again!!! Worst of the worst at this place. Been all over Mexico and to pick this place was my biggest mistake. Ixtapa is the retirement center of Mexico. Not a thing to do there and the Hotel as well that pretty much shuts down at 5:00 PM. Most of the food was a joke! Folks don't waste your money... more

We went to the Tesoro Feb 16-23/06. This is our 4th trip to Mexico and this was the best resort so far. The food was very good and a very good assortment. The staff were very friendly and lots of fun(except Jessica. The area was very safe and we all(6 of us)were very comfortable walking around at night. The townspeople... more

I spent some time reading trip advisor prior to booking the costa real now Tesoro. Admittedly the hotel had some overbooking issues, but the issues were handled in a timely matter, and we had a room above our expectations. A seventh floor then up the stairs, we were greeted to our room with an awesome view, hot tub, cold AC,... more

Well 8 of us went to the Tesoro the 1st week of February and all of us had a great time. The Hotel was clean as were our rooms the maids did a great job every day so I have nothing to complain about there. The food was good but as with most all inclusives in this price range you... more
