Paraiso means paradise in Spanish but that is far from what the villas paraiso is. This hotel is extremely disappointing. We had planned to spend seven nights there but after the first night we started looking for another hotel. The workers at this hotel are extremly nice and helpful but the hotel itself is not. I would never go back to the villas paraiso. Getting to the beach is difficult, there is no hot water, there are no coffee makers, the rooms are dirty, there are stains on the beds and towels, and there is hair all over the floors. I would suggest to anyone looking for a nice stay to spend their time at one of the resorts on the beach such as the Radison because these hotels are much much nicer.

Just had to write again and let travellers know of a great place to stay.This is the 3rd time we stayed at the Villas Paraiso in Ixtapa , Mex.We feel as comfortable as if we were at home. It has a very friendly and laid back atmosphere . Excellent location to beaches , restaurants , shops and a short bus ride to the town of Zihuatanejo.We would never want to stay anywhere else.Ricardo the manager and Lucy ahead of marketing will look after any of your wants or needs.The hotel is very well looked after and very clean.We like the junior suites which have a kitchette which is great for making breakfast or lunch.Being Canadian we felt that cost of accomodations were very reasonable.Looking forward to staying here again.

Having won a two-night stay at Villas Paraiso, we spent two pleasant days there in a Jr. Suite in February. The hotel is about a block back from the ocean, away from the hubbub of Ixtapa Blvd. The ground level of the hotel has a large open area around a very well- maintained pool, where we enjoyed relaxing and reading. There are lots of large pots of plants there, which makes this a pleasant area. Close to the pool is their little restaurant, where they serve an excellent breakfast, included with their room rate. It seems that quite a number of gringos come back to this hotel for the winter every year. The suite that we stayed in was spacious, but needed attention. We had to ask for several things to be done after our arrival. The staff was all most pleasant and accommodating, but the microwave never was repaired or replaced. Lucia let us use one of the office computers to check our email, whenever the computer wasn’t being used by the staff. This was most helpful to us. The hotel is quite close to the bicycle/walking path, which is lovely for early morning walks. You can walk on this path to the Marina or to a Nature Preserve.

We just finished a 7-week vacation at the Villas Paraiso hotel and we warmly recommend it. Although modest, the suites are practical and comfortable. It is a family hotel and Ricardo, the manager and the rest of the staff are very gentle. The swimming pool is surrounded by beautiful lush gardens. Breakfast is optional and the suites have equipped kitchenettes. We also had daily maid service. The hotel is located close to the main beach and also close to the bus stops, cand to convenient places. There are other beaches close by. Finally, it is a good value hotel and we loved our stay in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, and plan to return there soon.
