The Las Brisas hotel in Ixtapa provides wonderful service in a beautiful jungle-type setting. Most of the hotel's employees have been there for many years and are very proud of their hotel. We loved the way the hotel is spread out over many acres. It never feels crowded. However, it is not the place for travelers with disabilities since there are long distances and many steps required to get from place to place. I would recommend the Las Brisas Beach Club floor for the best views and the complimentary breakfast and happy hour each day. This is not the place to go for excitement, loud music and activities. It is the place to truly get away from it all and be waited upon. The private beach with its roaring waves is a definite plus.

Wonderful, private place to stay

My husband and I spent 10 days and 9 nights her last February and it was the best vacation we've ever had. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, it is easy to catch a cab into down town Zihua, and it seemed like people who were staying there had come back year after year and raved about it! I would recommend getting the upgraded room where you get the free happy hour, and breakfast every morning. It may not be the most luxurious hotel in the area, but the beach pretty much makes it the best place to stay. The beach is a private beach only for hotel guests, so you can truly relax and not worry about people coming up to you on trying to sell you stuff. Really the only decision you have to make every day staying at Las Brisas is whether to go the pool or the beach every day - so pretty much a good choice either way. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for a nice, relaxing place to stay in such a unique part of Mexico. My husband and I plan to go back ASAP!

Made Me Fall in Love with Mexico

Las Brisas was absolutely PERFECT. It used to be a Westin, so picture understated elegance, sophistication, and the perfect amount of native Mexico. All of the rooms are equipped with comfortable beds, gorgeous bathrooms, and an incredible view. The bar is fantastic for happy hour-it's the best way to enjoy the sunset. Some people complained about the ""location"" but I thought it was perfect. The rest of Ixtapa was so cookie-cutter, all on one long strip with dirty facilities and overcrowded beaches. While all of the beaches are public, the shape and location of the beach as Las Brisas lends a private feel. It's worth the 5 minutes to walk to the bus and the 15 minutes to walk to downtown Ixtapa. Skip the taxi, and take a quick walk down to the bus stop (its the entrance to Las Brisas, down the hill) and go into Zihua, as Ixtapa is extremely touristy. Hit the mercado for a cheap ($3) breakfast and a fun dose of local culture. For dinner, be sure to go to Soleiado in Ixtapa for a wonderful, romantic Mediterranean meal, or try Coconuts in ZIhua for a touristy but charming atmosphere (and great food.) There's a great place across the alley with the strongest and cheapest margaritas we could find! If you like to surf, take the time to go to Troncones, but Playa Linda is a relatively short bus ride. My husband and I really recommend the bus system: it's cheap, safe, and reliable. The taxis, on the other hand, overcharge. Las Brisas was one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at, and I love to travel! It's beautiful, luxurious, and afordable: I can't wait to return!

My dad and I stayed here for 7 nights. It is a beautiful, clean hotel with a wonderful private beach, although the surf is dangerous. The problem I had with this hotel is that I found it inconvenient to have to take a taxi every time you want to go into Ixtapa town. Also, the pools are quite a long walk from the hotel, too far for my elderly father to walk. They do have a free shuttle to the pools, but I would have liked the pools to be closer. As many other reviewers noted, the beds are extra firm, and my back was not happy. One night we had a very loud party of people placed right next door to us, despite the fact that the hotel was nearly empty. I didn't get much sleep that night, and the next morning they promised me that the people would be moved, which they did. On the positive side, the staff at the hotel was very friendly and helpful. The concierge helped me find an acupuncturist for my ailing dad.

We had a really good time here,the private beach was very nice. We had a little trouble with our resevation and I was on the phone with travelocity when the hotel got them straightened out. The food at hotel can add up quick. We ate at Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo a lot and the taxi rides are reasonable about 50 to 70 pesos.
