“OK, but have work to do at the Sunscape Dorado Pacifico Ixtapa”

This was my first time in Mexico & my stay at the Sunscape. 2/20/12-2/27/12. The hotel and property are beautiful!! Everything at this hotel is very, very clean. Staff is hard working, but the younger staff need to be a bit more relaxed & friendlier. Appears "younger" staff don't know what to do. Security staff stand around all day & are not very helpful or friendly. Antonio at the pool side bar was awesome!! Jesus and Alberto in entertainment also exceptional as they made my trip.(Please "untie" their hands so they don't have so many limitations. They have the energy and attitude to go very far with the entertainment). Entertainment at night just ok. Breakfast buffet was excellent. There is limited food throughout the day. The soy-burgers at the grill are horrible. Buffets at night offered cold food and you couldn't see what was offered. Food needs to be improved and Jesus please try and improve the food choices & restaurant availability. During the day there's not much available. How about offering more food choices buffet style during the day/evening and not limiting the restaurant hours. Pretty much you only have a couple of choices for meals and the meals need lots of improvement please. Majority of staff really try VERY hard to make your stay safe and enjoyable. Has management ever taken the time to visit other all-inclusive hotels for tips on how to make appropriate improvements at the Sunscape? Kim in Milwaukee, WI

Room Tip: Our ocean view room was AWESOME.

We just returned from our vacation at Sunscape in Ixtapa... Had an awesome time staff did a great job making us happy around the pool never had to wait long for service, they bring your food to you if you don't want to go and sit in the grill area and order of the menu which we did a few times food was excellent there...If you go to the Italian rest. there wait staff are very slow and don't wait on you very good. food was excellent though, our room was amazing, Sara our maid kept it very clean and our fridg. was always stocked which is free goes along with the room ...great view ocean front , the weather was beautiful the whole time we were there...we went across the street a few nights for supper they have excellent rest. also in Ixtapa over all great vacation highly recommend this place

Room Tip: We paid a little extra for the ocean view was well worth it

We stayed at the Sunscape Dorado Pacifico from Jan. 27 to Feb. 2. The hotel is fabulous and the staff is excellent (except for the lobby bartender)..He seemed to not enjoy what he was doing and was there just because he had to be. We had an ocean front suite with two balconies which was excellent and we were able to watch the evening shows from our balcony. Fortunately, this was to our advantage since we became seriously ill after eating at the buffet for the first two days and we spent a full day in our room in order to stay close to the bathroom. In the 15 years we have gone to Mexico, we have never experienced the agony of food poisoning. It's not pleasant. When we were able to comfortably go back to the pool or beach, we found that quite a number of other guest had been in the same situation. We then learned to eat at one of the other restaurants where the food was cooked when we ordered it. Careful of the Italian restaurant. It took 2 1/2 hours to eat and the music was SO LOUD we couldn't even talk to one another at the table. Other than that, the hotel is very clean, beds are super comfortable, staff is overly pleasant and helpful. Since they have only gone All/Inclusive since Nov. 2011, I'm sure all they need is a little "tweaking" to get the food situation straightened out. They have to realize that food should not be set up in the hot afternoon sun when it is not served until 7 PM and should not be re-served the following evening.

Room Tip: Get a suite if you can, but any ocean view room would be satisfactory.

I've read the reviews from people who have been here before when it was not all-inclusive and it is sad. However, this was our first time in Ixtapa-Zihuat (which is so fantastic we'll come again) and therefore our first time at the Dorado Pacifico. We cannot say enough about the fantastic staff here -- we have never encountered such personal interaction, let alone first class service. We just returned home last night so our memories are strong and positive and happy. We have photos with Cecilio and Edgar with my husband's cowboy hat, we actually miss Denise, the hostess, the many wonderful waiters who remember that you drink black tea or white wine or that you take your Caesar salad with no chicken, Alejandro around the pool. OMG, I'm getting weepy. Anyway, maybe the some of the buffet meats are kind of overcooked, but everything else was fantastic and the point is, they are trying so hard to be everything to everybody -- which, let's face it folks, can't happen even in a fantasy world because there are some truly obnoxious jerks in this world, and we saw them there. The folks at Dorado Pacifico are fantastic and we love them for their efforts and my husband and I, are our two friends, loved this place and would come back again. Oh the ceviche, oh the avocado, oh Oceana and Bluewater Grill and Da Mario's .... and even the Barefoot Grill, and it's all on the most beautiful beach for walking to get rid of those calories. Oh, and the fantastic beds and cool, smooth sheets. What a vacation. Stop complaining, get real folks, this is a wonderful place.

Room Tip: We had the cheaper "partial ocean view" room. Choose the one at the very back of the hot...
