This was one of the nicest vacactions I have ever had.Food was good ,not exceptional .The room was more than ample and clean.Beautifuul view! Perfect weather.89-93 F. (Jan. 17-24),no rain,barely a cloud.The sister town Zihuatanejo is a quaint little fishing village with lots of shops and restaurants on the beach.Lots to see and do.
Can't wait to go back!

I t was the best of rooms...it was the worst of rooms. First impressions were "gorgeous". We overlooked the pool and the entire breach front The deck was enormous having 2 deck chairs and a large table with plenty of room to spare. The room was very clean, however we did have a few concerns. Most of the floor tiles were loose. The mattresses are very firm making sleeping difficult. Our bar fridge made loud thumping noises all night. The smoke alarm went off twice at 3 a.m. Talk about loud. I ripped the battery out of it and called it "fixed" NOTE
(we had 7 rooms booked with family. Ours was the only room with a fire alarm)
We stayed at the Tesoro during Xmas. The holiday entertainment (evening diner and stage shows) were excellent. Although the Emcee spoke only Spanish our Mexican table guests translated. The traditional Spanish dancers were very entertaining.
As many reviewers have said The Tesoro is a destination Hotel for the locals. A family of four can stay "all inclusive" for approx $ 140.00 per day. Our group of 13 plus 2 canadians from quebec and 2 peole from the U.S. were the only Caucasions in the Hotel.
All the staff are incredible. Service top notch. The food in the restaurant (one only) was very limited and repetitive. The one a-la-carte was no different. The drinks are okay but good tipping will get the bartenter to "tip" the bottle over the glass a little longer.
I would go back to Ixtapa but not at xmas and not at The Tesoro

This was our second stay at Tesoro and we noticed an improvement in service.From the front desk to the waiters /bartenders we noticed an improvement .Check in was a breeze and they even told us (without asking)we could change our room if we didn't like the one we were assigned ,which we did.The rooms were kept clean and the fridge was stocked with water /pop daily .The buffet was well stocked and changed up a bit every day .
The Mexican ala carte was fantastic ,great service ,food ,drinks .The service at the pool /beach was great ,the servers were keen on keeping your drink full or asking if you would like some food from the snack bar .A couple of nights they had a theme night and the buffet was outside in front of the hotel .
As for the pool /beach loungers ,you would have to get up early to reserve a beach lounger but if you didn't get one you could lways find one at the pool .The resort seems to be more for families with children and the over 40 crowd (thats us )which is fine as there is not much noise late at night .During the day the entertainment staff would run horse races/bingo /pool aerobics volleyball,pool and beach .Always something to do or just loungs around the pool /beach.
If you want to leave the resort ,the artisian market was just up the street ,many bars /restaurants/retail /vendors.Or you can hop on a bus to Zihua(9 pesos) and check out the restaurants /bars ,vendors ,beaches .
Overall the Tesoro was well worth the money .They could improve on the lobby bar ,if you want to sit by the windows you have to squeeze in as it is very cramped .

We loved our stay here, couldn't get over all the hard working folks on staff there. They are so friendly and love their jobs. We have no complaints at all found everything really good. We would go back in a heartbeat and plan on it next year for our 40th wedding anniversary.
