Cala de Mar Resort & Spa Ixtapa  

Perched on a cliff in Ixtapa with sweeping Pacific views, this beach hotel sits minutes from Quieta Beach and Marina Ixtapa Golf Club. The sand is about a 5-minute walk away and the hotel is roughly 20–25 minutes from Ixtapa–Zihuatanejo International Airport. Family-friendly and pet-friendly, it puts you close to both the Ixtapa resort zone and the traditional village of Zihuatanejo.

The resort’s design tumbles toward the ocean like a waterfall from the cliff top. Rooms (about 54 guestrooms) each feature private plunge pools and lanais with ocean views, plus LCD televisions and in-room safes. Expect clean, modern décor and terraces that make each room feel like a private mini-resort.

Sink into the Capricho Spa for massages and facials, or take a dip in one of the outdoor pools and a private beach area. There’s a 24-hour fitness center, steam room, sauna and a hot tub, plus concierge services, babysitting (surcharge) and gift shops. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and plenty of poolside lounging.

Meeting space (about 982 sq ft) and meeting rooms are available, along with a computer station and express check-in/out. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected, and airport shuttle service is offered for a surcharge. Free on-site parking and valet options are provided.

Choose from multiple on-site restaurants with terrace seating and ocean views, including Amares and Las Rocas, plus a poolside bar and a bar/lounge. Cooked-to-order breakfasts are served daily for a fee and 24-hour room service is available for late nights or lazy days.
