• Private beach was awesome; no peddlers.
• Feather beds made my allergies flare up big time.

“I loved it! It was beautiful. Every room has a balcony with hammock overlooking the beach!! The food was pretty good, but service was slow. The crab tortas were so so, but the palm salad rocked! The food is very expensive there so you might want to take a taxi & eat somewhere cheaper.”

• Beautiful view and private beach. Geared to the traveler that likes quiet.
• A lot of steps.

“This hotel is off the beaten path. Not in hotel circle which makes it much quieter than others in Ixtapa. All rooms face the ocean and we never missed a beautiful sunset.”

• Newly rehabbed rooms were very nice, especially the bathrooms.
• This hotel charges exorbitant prices for everything from food to drink to internet - way out of line.

“$10 for scrambled eggs. $11 for a club sandwich. $6 for a beer. $4.50 for a coke. $9 for a margarita. $15/day for internet access. This hotel thinks way too much of itself in it's pricing.”

• Beautiful setting, conveniently located, ideal weather conditions.
• Restaurants are overpriced, I would have preferred an inclusive package, was not available.

“We enjoyed our stay on the 22nd floor with an absolute view of paradise. Sleeping with doors open while listening to the crash of the waves against the rocks is an added bonus. Accessing both a continental breakfast and a happy hour are nice benefits if your package includes these amenities. We traveled after Spring Break and post-Easter, the start of the low season. Obvious better service, fewer crowds and a much quitter experience were most enjoyable. Las Brisas is an exceptional property if you purchase the right package to suit your needs to match your expectations.”

• The hotel is extremely clean and tidy, and the staff is friendly.
• The artist's market wasn't close, had to take a cab back and forth.

“This hotel is absolutely beautiful; the architecture blends in with all the natural surroundings. The restaurants were top of the line. The ocean view from the room was breathtaking. The bed was so comfortable and the staff was very attentive and friendly.”

• The same excellent staff is there year after year. It's like coming home to family.
• The pool area is ready for updating.

“We have returned to this resort for several years now. We love the level of service and friendliness of the staff who we now feel are family. We love the feeling of privacy with the property and beach. We will continue to return to this resort.”

• Great Rooms, Ocean View, Private Beach & Courteous Service, They go the extra mile.
• Food was good, but way too expensive, drinks expensive too.

“We'll go again, but eat out more, because of cost. Probably stay shorter.”

• New updates to the rooms and comfortable beds.
• Gym equipment needs updating.

“This was our sixth stay at Las Brisas and we had a great time! The updates to the rooms and new beds were a nice suprise! The staff was very friendly and remembered us from our previous visits. The swimming pool is the best in Ixtapa and the beach is lovely too. The only thing we found disappointing was the food downtown in Ixtapa. Da Buffone was the only good dinner that we had. I would recommend dining in Zihuatanejo instead. More reasonably priced and better quality. Serena Gorda and Chuleto are two of our favorites.”

“This was our sixth stay at Las Brisas and we had a wonderful time. The staff and property are the best in Ixtapa and we look forward to staying there again in the future. The new updates to the rooms were a great suprise and the beds were very comfortable.”

• Beautiful grounds and huge rooms with great views.
• Seemed slightly dated and could use new furniture on the beaches and pools and umbrellas on the balcony.

“Great location, beautiful beach. Staff was very friendly and rooms were had awesome ocean views and huge balconies! Best value in Ixtapa!”

• Staffs were great. Always ready to serve.
• Food wasn't that good especially for the prices they charge.

“We found the beach to be very nice. The beach club rooms included free breakfast and daily happy hour, which had a great hostess. She greeted us daily with friendliness and went out of her way to be helpful. Actually, all staff was very helpful and kind. The pool area was far away from the hotel; however, the walk to the pool was nice. The food was not the best and was very overpriced. Not sure that I would go back because of the cost of food and beverage. That seemed to have been the biggest downfall to the hotel/resort.”

• Very nice comfortable rooms.
• Location is off the central strip of Ixtapa.

“Very nice, beautiful hotel. Take a taxi into town for dining if you want to save money. Eating at the hotel restaurants is pricey.”

• The Beach - Friendliness/helpful staff-Clean Rooms-Large beach towels.
• First night - A/C didn't work - moved to another room for 2nd and 3rd Night = Excellent.

“Excellent location adjacent to a public beach that was very remote that it appeared like a private beach. Hotel was very clean with outstanding service from the entire staff. Free valet service was a plus. Stayed at beach club level which was extremely quiet with an excellent continental breakfast and evening happy hour. Did not eat at the hotel but went into town where there were numerous restaurants for every taste. Ithaca itself is relatively new with no Poverty in sight with excellent roads. The mountainous background and the ocean made Ithaca a beautiful place to spend a very relax and fun fill time. I would recommend Las Bruises for their location, staff and above all the semi-private beach.”

• We loved the room and the beautiful scenery of the hotel.
• It was not a walking distance to shops and restaurants.

“The hotel is a wonderful place if you are looking for a relaxing time. The rooms and ocean views are incredible. The pool area is also beautiful. The only concern is the distance from the shops and local restaurants. The hotel is located on a small hill and it is isolated from the rest of the chain of hotels so it required a good walk just to get to the main street and a taxi ride to get to the shops. The taxi ride was considerably inexpensive $3.00 dollars so it was not that much.”

• Bruises club amenities.
• No entertainment at night.

“Our room was beautiful and staff kept the room clean throughout the day. The bruises club amenities of the continental breakfast and cocktail hour (hosted by Benjamin) were great and worth the upgrade. The location of the hotel provided a romantic setting, but is away from the other hotels. Not much entertainment at night there at the hotel.”

• Great views, great bed and pillows, fantastic beach.
• $4 can of soda.

“Great views, great pillows, great service including the best room and housekeeping service, if you are going to ixtapa this is the only, the only place to stay. The rest of ixtapa is loud crazy and overrun!”

• The most beautiful and romantic hotel you will ever go to.
• The food at the hotel is expensive and average.

“An extremely beautiful hotel with a view that will remind you of paradise. Perfect for Honeymoons! The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I haven't ever met a group of people who will treat you nicer than they were at Las Brisas. Get ready to enjoy this part, and just go into town for good food at better prices!”

• We were treated like royalty. All of the staff was there to help in everything.
• It is a little too expensive.

“I would recommend this hotel to everyone. It is a perfect spot for a honeymoon. It is quite romantic. You can hear the ocean at night and all of the rooms have an ocean view and very nice tiled balcony overlooking the ocean. Four swimming pools and excellent restaurants are great too.”

• Excellent service from all employees.
• Isolated from the town of Ixtapa. Buffet & drink process were exceptionally high in comparison to surrounding towns.

“My husband and I stared one night at Las Brisis. First, the view is spectacular. The sunset was truly wonderful. The room itself was quite small and the bathroom vent did not work so the bath room smelled moldy, but the room was as expected for a hotel this old. Room service on Saturday night took over an hour but the food delivered by the waiter was set up on the balcony and became quite a romantic setting. The large king bed was nice and firm with good bedding. For one night I enjoyed our stay but would not have been so happy if we had stayed there our entire trip. The hotel has a wonderful isolated beach, but that also made it hard to get outside of the hotel's boundaries and see the rest of the town. The Sunday morning buffet at one of the restaurants was $35 US. We felt it was tremendously overpriced and were disappointed in that, but otherwise we had a good time.”

• Ther service was excellent.
• Food was very bad. The rooms were ugly.

“Though this hotel was listed as a 4 star hotel. By no means would anyone think it was. The decor was from the 70's, it was so big that t was about a mile to get to the pool, air conditioning was limited, everything was old and outdated. I can not imagine why anyone would give it a four star rating. Frankly for a great chain like, Las Brisas, I am surprised at how bad it was.”
