Reviewed Feb 13, 2026All inclusive hotel on beach. 3 restaurants, sometimes 2 when they use the garden for outside buffet. Cater to more Mexican menu except in Italian. Breakfast buffet has a good variety. Beware of too many spicy dish options at lunch. Always ask. Food is satisfactory. We go out for a different variety as menu does not change-only at buffet. Great staff. Miguel Sandovar Viro, Carlos, Adilene, Roger in Italian, and Ranulfo at breakfast and lunch.

Reviewed Feb 10, 2026This resort is average. It is very clean but dated - it could use a refresh. Our deluxe ocean view room had a wonderful view of the ocean and the pool area. The location is good, with shops and restaurants across the street. The restaurant and meal options are limited, it would be great if they varied the menus from day to day. The service in the restaurants is hit & miss. The resort plays very loud music late at night, and it can be heard throughout. Geovani gives EXCELLENT service on the beach in the palapa area, he is definitely a plus for this resort. We got a good deal on the package price, so overall it was enjoyable.

Reviewed Feb 8, 2026Very good, everything was incredible! Everyone was so nice and kind, Yessica of entretenimiento was very happy to was a very fun class in aquaribics.
We stayed about 10 days here. First, it is a fine hotel with good service and staff as many say. Good points - hot climate, courteous staff, good service, good food service at a la carte restaurants. No need to reserve at restaurants. Nice beach and easy walking access across the street to the small (touristy) town of Ixtapa. However there is only one pool and it gets uncomfortably crowded early with reserved chairs packed side by side in rows. There are also beach palapas. Pool staff will try to find you a chair and take away towels from reserved but unused chairs if you ask. They must make a watch on those who abuse the 1-hour limit as most do. Shade is at a premium. Restaurants - its a misnomer to claim "6 restaurants". The buffet is just divided into several sections. There is the Bluewater -good- and upstairs the more classy Italian Mario. There is a lunch "food truck" style burger/fries place. They do a nice buffet dinner in the garden area often before shows (not every night. ) Nice but probably would not go back because pool area is too hot and crowded. We did not take the Sun Club upgrade - it didnt seem worth it to have access to a small air conditioned bar and more snacks, and a restaurant area beside the Bluewater.

Reviewed Feb 7, 2026We just returned from a 14-night stay at Sunscape Dorado Pacifico Ixtapa, and this was our second time staying here. Once again, we had a great experience.
The resort is in a great location close to town, and the beach is fantastic. The staff truly made the stay — everyone was friendly, engaging, and genuinely welcoming. A special shoutout to Genovani for the beach bar service; he was always pleasant, fun, and personable, and really added to our time on the beach. Agustina, our maid, did an excellent job as well — our room was always very clean and done quickly.
This isn’t a 5-star resort, but it’s very reasonable for the price and offers great value thanks to the outstanding staff. We would definitely go back.
The staff is the only reason I would go back to this resort. As we all know, staff can make or break a trip. I have been on numerous All inclusive destinations, all over mexico, cuba, and Dominican, this one hands down has the best staff. All staff were fantastic, huge shout out to Victor, Simon, Raymund, Irvin and Silvano, provided service with a smile, they kept tabs on who was next for service, and the drinks were consistent and tasty. The restaurant service, was great, it makes a big difference when the staff are friendly and make jokes. Especially the ladies in the Italian restaurant ! we ate there twice and service was top notch!
no reservations required for the restaurants, it's first come first served, that is greatly appreciated. no towel cards required, and best yet NO wrist bands! The staff knows who should be there. The AC in our room worked great, our room actually got too cold, until we reset the thermostat.
overall the food was meh at best, I was able to find good food for every meal, not a giant selection, but if you pick between you won't go hungry. it's solid 3 star food. a few small tweaks would elevate the experience.
the beach at the resort is great for walking, the central location is great, and did I mention how great the staff is ? 100% would recommend this hotel just for the staff.
The location pool and beach are awesome. The rooms were clean but dated . The staff was excellent and very accommodating. The food was below average.

Reviewed Feb 3, 2026We just came back from 14 fantastic days there. Great food, awesome weather and good amenities. Rooms are nice, very nice and friendly staff.especially Magela,Jessica,Naydelin and Jhovany. Unfortunately they need more ping pong lessons lol. Thanks for the great time.
We stayed here for the first time from December 4th to 15th, 2025.
First, things that make you scratch your head:
- The entire resort doesn't have Mezcal, Corona or Modello....😒
- Men cannot wear tank tops to the breakfast buffet and shirts must have sleeves...even though women can wear bathing suit tops/spaghetti straps in the restaurant. Makes no sense...
The Wonderful:
- All of the staff are absolutely fantastic ❤️and we really enjoyed them especially the superb beach bar service by Geovanni and Adeline/ Carlos in the Italian restaurant. Whether its at breakfast, lunch or dinner, ALL the staff are super helpful and friendly.
- Magdalena made me some memorable omelets every morning 😋
- Please don't forget to tip your servers: you'd do that at home - I know it's an all inclusive...but the people deserve recognition for outstanding service.
-Many of the staff are working on speaking English, so I really enjoyed practicing my Spanish on them.
Miscellaneous notes/tips/advice:
-This whole strip of hotels is busy and can be a bit loud at night if you're not into the nightlife. There were 6 weddings while we where there and even on the 17th floor, the music from the disco/beach/Emporio Hotel can be heard in the room.
- You may want to ask for a room on the west side and if you're a light sleeper, bring some silicone earplugs with you.
- The room was very clean and the bed comfortable. The housekeeping staff does a great job of making that happen 👍
-Swimming was excellent...love bobbing in the ocean
- The Combi's are a great system to get around. Cost is 37 pesos and the drivers are most helpful if you let them know where you want to go.
Bottom Line: We'd go back if the price was right. Would've given a 3 1/2 ⭐s if I could and the reason its not a 4 ⭐ is because of the beverages I couldn't get and the music that could be heard in the room in the evenings.

Reviewed Dec 7, 2025Just returned from a 2 week vacation at Sunscape Dorado Pacifico. I really cannot think of one complaint! We had a couple issues with our room, that were dealt with immediately. The staff were probably overall the best we have seen! It was very busy, but the staff were all smiling and very attentive. The staff that stood out for us were Zenon and Jesus. Bell boys that went above and beyond with information and help. Also they were very pleasant and quite amusing. The other one that stood out was Larissa. She seated us every morning for breakfast, and was working at the snack bus at lunch. Always remembered our room number and preferences. Such a beautiful young woman, and putting a lot of effort into learning English. Which she was doing very well. Food was very good. Room was very clean and nice. Good a/c. ALL the staff were excellent. Would definitely go back.
Not enough shade. Food was just average and very few choices. Eating dinner at 7 pm is too late Music is loud and go on till 12 or 1 am
Our room was on the 19 th floor and had a gorgeous view of the water and beach.
The timing could have been better as the hotel was undergoing maintenance while we were there. Such as the buffet being closed and the electrical system turned off.
We had exceptional bar service on the beach with Giovanni , he went above and beyond making us feel very comfortable and special
Great location and very clean hotel but the food is mostly inedible.
Stayed for a week with Mom over Thanksgiving. We’ve been coming to Ixtapa for 40 years on family trips; after MUCH research gave Sunscape a shot.
Positive: VERY clean, the maids are amazing and Alma was wonderful. The beach chairs and sunbeds are nice and Giovanni was an awesome server. English is pretty common and the staff worked really hard to make sure you have what you need. Beds were comfy, AC was strong. Location is great, on a gorgeous spot of the beach and walkable to most everything in town in minutes.
Negative: We got food poisoning on day two at lunch and only ate breakfast at the hotel the rest of the week. Honestly, the food at Sunscape is god awful. Most of the meat is questionable and simmering in water/sauces. We got sick from the water grill “freshly made to order” fish that was just awful.
The lighting in the bathroom is so bad you can barely see yourself. It’s an olddd hotel.
If you are spending USD $400+ a night on a hotel that includes food - it should be edible. I’ve stayed at hundreds of hotels and many all inclusives, and instead of totally relaxing we had to eat two meals out a day at local restaurants.
I would only recommend Sunscape to anyone fine with eating most of their meals out.

Reviewed Nov 29, 2025I stayed at the sunscape resort thanksgiving break. The staff were so nice including Ivan, Luis, Victor, Angel, Naydelli, and Jhovanny, all from the entertainment team. One thing that was disappointing was that the beach had a red flag my entire trip, meaning we were advised to not go in the beach since the waves were too big. The pool and beach games were so much fun including beach volleyball, water polo, and water volleyball. The entertainment team had such fun games every day. They made me and my friends feel so welcomed as soon as we arrived.
The food and drinks team was amazing also. I loved the variety of food choices every meal.
The cleaning team was so amazing. It felt great to come back to a clean room after a long day in the sun.
The spa was so relaxing and an enjoyable and peaceful escape.
All of the staff in general were so nice and welcoming. The front desk would always let us borrow card games or answer any of our many questions.
Thank you sunscape for such an incredible stay.

Reviewed Nov 27, 2025My stay at Sunscape Dorado Pacífica was absolutely unforgettable, and the biggest reason for that was the entertainment team. From the moment we arrived, Ivan and Luis were such great additions—friendly faces who instantly made every activity more fun. Jhovanny was always smiling and cracking us up, bringing so much joy to every moment. Naydelli was incredibly sweet and kind, and Magela’s endless energy kept the games lively and exciting.
And then there’s Angel, whose diva-level dancing could brighten anyone’s day. He truly brought joy to our eyes every single performance. Of course, I can’t forget Victor, who leads the team with so much humor and charisma. He had us laughing constantly.
Honestly, my favorite part of the entire stay was spending time with the entertainment team. And let’s be real—after all those activities and competitions, we all know who the real winner was (yes… me).
Next up, the food and drinks team was amazing. The cooking classes were such a fun and unique touch, and I loved the variety of food options throughout the resort. The soft serve machine became a daily stop for us!
Every bartender was so welcoming, especially both Victors, who not only made fantastic drinks but also took the time to learn our names, making us feel like part of the family. There was also a bartender named Ivan at the pool bar who stood out—he mixed some of the best drinks and always took a moment to chat with us. And let’s not forget the snack machine, which became our go-to spot for fries at any time of day.
The cleaning team also deserves a huge thank-you. Coming back to a fresh room each day was such a treat, especially when they left chocolates—little details that made the stay even more special.
The spa was incredibly relaxing and such a peaceful escape. It was the perfect way to unwind and enjoy some quiet time.
Finally, the staff in general—every person at the front desk or walking around the hotel—was warm, welcoming, and always happy to say hi. They even put up with the chaos of our very competitive Jenga games!
Thanksgiving week is always a time for me to reconnect with friends, shake off stress, and just enjoy life. This hotel helped us do exactly that. We had the most fun, laughed endlessly, and made memories that will stay with us.
Thank you, Sunscape Dorado Pacífica. I truly enjoyed my stay, and I hope to see all the wonderful staff again someday.

Reviewed Nov 18, 2025The location of the resort is awesome however that is the only thing this resort has going for it.
The resort itself needs to be be updated and cleaned. The pool was usually dirty and a lot of the common areas were dirty as well. With stained cushions ect.
The food definitely lacked luster or variety. The food options were really low quality. They advertise an adults only restaurant but each time we went there were kids. The buffet was very limited. I have never seen that few choices in a buffet in all my travels.
We booked the Sun Club Oceanview Deluxe Room and that was a joke. It was a partial Oceanview at best over looking the kids splash zone. The beds are small. 2 doubles so if you are bigger or taller this could pose a big issue.
Besides the lounge with premium drinks there was nothing worth the upgrade. We actually paid to upgrade again just to have a decent room with a decent view. We couldn’t have stayed for a week crammed into the original room we were given. They wouldn’t accommodate a change unless we paid.
As for amenities at this resort I really can’t comment. The pool area was not very clean. The chairs were limited. We even ran into times where we couldn’t get a towel.
Ixtapa is beautiful and I cannot wait to rerun. We have been here 4 times already. We just won’t ever go back to the Sunscape.

If you like pickleball, this is the resort for you. 4 courts and organized play with players from other resorts. The food and service is good. Not enough loungers in the shade.

The SunClub is a nice touch for selective drinks, snacks and seating. Raymundo and Simon at the swim up bar are the very best. Lots of activities and entertainment if you chose.
Upon arrival you are greeted with smiles and helpful staff to gather luggage and help you to check you in. English speaking friendly staff in the front of the hotel. Unfortunately you are then inundated with staff required to offer you specials and deals they offer through the hotel, and do not take “no” for an answer easily. Throughout the rest of your stay anytime you walk through the front to the elevator to get to your room, you will be offered deals and promotions. This gets very tiresome over a weeks time. The hotel itself is dated and was constantly being under repair in various spaces throughout the hallways and ceilings.
The amazing part about this hotel is the staff and food. I am vegan and was worried about not having choices during my weeks stay, But I had nothing to worry about.

Reviewed May 30, 2024It Is okay nice hotel but kind small in the pool area ,the host at the restaurants kind of rude to others waitress when they try to give us better seating for the family they seem unorganized on the restaurants service, very unhappy workers
Nice location, conveniently located to shops and restaurants. The hotel staff were helpful and friendly. The property was well maintained but dated.The buffet was as expected for an all inclusive resort. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.

Reviewed Feb 12, 2024We stsyed just one night to enjoy Superbowl. Party was wonderful, service excellent, food so so, drinks plentiful and very average, typical all inclusive.
Problem with people reserving lounges around pool still persists.
Overall this is a typical all inclusive, rather average wigh very nice staff.
Beware of the time share people, just say NO.

Reviewed Nov 26, 2023The restaurants are not staffed to properly accommodate the volume of guests. The pool was dirty and the floor of the pool was damaged in several areas. Many wanted to play water vollyball but the balls were waterlogged and extremely heavy. For a large resort to NOT replace a $10 volleyball is a bad look. The maid staff was very friendly, and hard working. The restaurant servers and the food truck employees were doing the jobs of two people, which made service very poor. The food quality is a bit less than average, The bell hops, and doormen were great. The servers working the coffee bar/snack stand were all very nice. The property needs to be refurbished, the only redeeming quality is the hard working staff. The concierge was excellent!

Reviewed Feb 11, 2023First time staying at this resort and it was absolutely awesome!! The staff is so friendly and eager to please their guests. My partner and I were treated excellent. Nayelli the bar waitresses was incredibly kind and attentive. Our pool side waiters Ignacio and Alexander were also very kind and attentive. They walk away saying “my pleasure.” The fish tacos and the hot dog (gourmet) at the snack truck were delicious!! I thought the buffet’s were well maintained and the food was good. Remember to tip your service workers!!

Reviewed Feb 6, 2023This is our 3rd time to this exact resort and we love it. Safe and can cross street into downtown to visit other entertainment establishments (Frank's Bar, etc. Staff is friendly and helpful. Resort is clean and secure. Walks on the beach are fanastic. Our favorite is they just installed 4 pickleball courts and have one tennis court. Great resort and we will go back next year!

Reviewed Jan 22, 2023The property is central and even distance between ZUI and Playa Linda, both of which I like to go when I stay. You can walk across the street for shopping, music and food. The options are great. The transportation is wonderful. So easy to take the bus, taxi or walk. People, staff and locals alike were very nice and willing to help. I would recommend staying.

Reviewed Oct 10, 2022I was expecting more for what we paid. They were busing people in to try out the property so they had paid next to nothing, we paid and the food was sub par. Will not go again. All inclusive is a fraud
we have been going there since 2013 and slowly declining food is terrible ran out of food at buffet...stuff is great ...owner cutting back just to make money....covid test $50,00 PER PERSON can get it at airport for $25.00....not very happy
A very aloof approach to customer service. Also property claims to be “all inclusive” and then everything is an additional fee including Internet, room service, etc. Also, food was TERRIBLE! Consistently bland across the board. Many of us felt this way; I wasn’t alone. We also had an incident where my son was bullied by resort staff to pay a taxi driver 200 pesos for returning a lost wallet. They called him a “baby.” It was a terrible experience.

Reviewed May 25, 2021Food room not ready till 2 hours of my schedule time
El personal y cuarto de hotel muy bien, la comida pésima en el buffet y repetitiva y los horarios de las albercas poco tiempo
Food was terrible, seems like they reheat all the time the food, then no pools for adults, full of kids all the time, no good alcohol, definitely don’t recommend this hotel.
The service was amazing and the whole atmosphere of this hotel was inviting since we arrived. The one bad experience was the food. None of the food was an authentic mexican taste. They serve chilaquiles but didnt have a taste is was just plain tomatoe sauce with tortillas and onion and they drownednit in crema and cheese to make it taste better. They had no tortillas handmade, no carne asada or pollo asado for like buffet style tacos and salsa either. No chile verde, no chips and salsa, no guacamole. They serve different foods chicken, meat pork, salad and fruits and breakfast buffets but the buffets and a la cart restaurant did not have any good food. The da mario restaurant they have we tried 5 different plates and nothing had a taste of wow it was just basic. The staff was amazing especially the server at the coffee bar she always had a inviting and welcoming attitude and you could tell she made a great effort to pearn english. She made my kids feel welcomed and learn to ask in spanish which i loved. The pools are great and all the servers while in the hotel are very attentive. They have alot to offer and I wish we had a better experience with the food to come back because my family loved it. We didnt even want to leave the hotel to explore Zihuatanejo they madenit worth are entire stay with the hospitality and entertainment at the hotel.

Reviewed Apr 27, 2021I enjoyed the Sunscape Resort it's my favorite place to go I retired and moved to Ixtapa and I always get a chance to have 2 days or 3 days relaxation and I love the staff that's there they know me the service is outstanding the resort is beautiful I'll be back soon
this is a nice and clean hotel with great views, but due to the pandemic they are short staff and restaurants are very inconsistent, the open on different dates and menu changes constantly,
I would say wait till the pandemic ends before going so you may have a better experience than I did.

I wrote a great review the first day after a great check in and nice welcoming room but that was it. There after it was disappointing even upsetting due to rudeness and condescending treatment from some staff members..at check in I asked, and was offered the required travel covid19 test for free ..but was asked to pay $50 usd. When i tried to make the appt., To have it done, I wast told "sorry for the miss- information, its free to long stay customers only ". I also was humiliated and singled out at the italian, ala carte restaurant for wearing crocks when many were being admitted wearing flip flops, i was boldy treated by the 2 young hosts at of the restaurant and the manager told me to step aside, that I was "wearing plastic shoes "!!!. He asked me to leave and ignored me when I pointed out that others flip flops were also plastic. After complaining to the on duty Mgr. Whom was nice and sympathetic, a nice but unrequested dinner was sent to my room...I felt as if I was a lectured and grounded child who was being fed in her room after getting in trouble...it was disgusting...i was traveling solo and felt miserably treated. Half of the staff were wonderful, mostly the ones who did labor, the others, such hosts and desk staff are rude. sorry won't be back nor will i recommend it.

Reviewed Mar 26, 2020This our 3rd time in Ixtapa, 2nd at the Sunscape and we will plan to return soon. Ratings are a little lower this year on the staff and service only because a lot of things at the resort were shut down because of the lack off people on vacation-coronavirus. No fault of Sunscape’s management, but service by select staff individuals could have been better. I’m chalking that up to the virus as well.
