Ixtapa Pacific Mexico

Kenya, Sofia, An, Fanny and the other members of the baby club were amazing and took such great care of our 18 months. They made booking the baby club so worth it. What a sweet and loving crew, our little guy went on nature walks, to the playground, swam in the baby pool and did a lot of craft and games. He was happy and so were we

This was our fourth visit to Club Med Ixtapa w/ our three children (ages 5, 8, 9), and we had another amazing week. Everything runs so smoothly for a family - mini club, ease of dining (buffet meals with no required reservation or seating time), tennis, pickle ball (even my 8 year old played for 2 hours a day), lovely beach, pool, and overall setting, room layout that works well for a family of 5, archery, and this time - a special guest zumba instructor who made the week especially fun. I echo so many of the other comments from the 5 star reviews - Club Med Ixtapa is the best family vacation. As one of my friends said, the only thing Club Med needs help with is marketing, because if everyone in the US knew about this, they would go! Thank you to all of the incredible GOs who took care of us last week; we are ready to book our next trip.

We did Spring Break at Club Med Ixtapa. The beach and setting is gorgeous. Our kids (ages 2-8yrs) had a wonderful time at the kids club. From our first night, Sammy and the director of the Petite Club welcomed us and made the kids so excited for activities. Special thanks to Sammy, Mirka, Sonny, Jenny, Irasema and Montse. They made the kids time there so special, safe, welcoming, and fun.

I was VERY disappointed in the Corporate experience. We had our flights cancelled and shifted by 1 day and Corporate refused to honor the shift and allow us to shift dates by 1 day. Inst3ead they made us pay for another night and we lost the first night. HOWEVER, we had 3 other families in our vacation group and ALL of them had Corporate accommodate them and allow them to shift dates without having to pay for another night. This is VERY disappointing and something we will be communicating to our friends when they ask about our experience. We called Corporate twice to ensure the resort knew the date shifts, however when we were at the resort they said there were NO such note in the system and we spent almost an HOUR of our vacation with the front desk trying to get this resolved. Again, a huge disappointment with Corporate. The onsite staff, manager, everyone else were wonderful.

We’re just home from the most amazing family vacation at Club Med Ixtapa. This was our first Club Med trip and we weren’t sure what to expect - and we just loved it. As one of our new friends said, it’s like “summer camp on the beach, for the whole family.”

We’ve got a 5 year old, and it’s hard to imagine a better hotel/resort-vacation with a young kiddos. So many friendly families, and so many activities for the kiddos, means it really does feel like a village - kids and parents all get to know each other, and the kids have the independence to roam around a bit in this safe environment.

The food was excellent - exceeded expectations. Plenty of variety for a week’s stay, with enough standbys and special options each day to keep all happy.

The setting is gorgeous - beautiful sunsets every night, wonderful beach with just the right slope and mellow waves. Ixtapa Island just offshore is a great day trip (I’d leave the young kiddos in kids club while going).

There’s a ton of activities and excursions - so you can be as active or as restful as you wish. The kids activities, in particular, are just amazing. There’s stuff for them to do from 8:45am until 9:30pm - and it’s fully open/flexible, so you can drop them off and pick them back up as often as you/they want throughout the day. Allows for a perfect balance of family time and couple/adult time, and you can dial it up and down depending on the kiddos’ moods. It feels like ‘camp’ more than it feels like child care, the kids really bond and enjoy.

My only critique, really, is that the rooms could use a cosmetic refresh. The layouts are good but the decor is on the dated side. That said, it bothered me our first day there - and then as we got absorbed in the amazing routine and “vibe” of the place, we promptly stopped caring about the dated decor. Especially for the highly reasonable price point.

All in all, can’t recommend highly enough for families. We’re already planning to return.
