Cala de Mar Resort & Spa Ixtapa

The views are to die for and the room is so lovely and luxurious. The staff was friendly and helpful and the personal plunge pools were amazing.

The private pool and balcony was amazing. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. The views were spectacular. I loved the guacamole and beers delivery every night. The seafood restaurant was exceptional.

Everything exceeded our expectations and we will be back. The setting is almost like Amalfi or Taormina (Italy) where the resort is on the cliffs, views from every room, restaurant, pool. Boutique size, so we made friends with several other guests and the wonderful staff. I loved being over a rocky coastline where you can hear the waves all night, but be aware that there is not a sandy or gentle/swimmable beach accessible from the hotel. I had a wonderful swim in the waves against the rocks at the charming little rocky beach accessible from the resort, wearing good shoes and a snorkel, but this may be challenging and not recommended for most. But the sea was the perfect temperature (this was over new year's.)

Very private and specialized. Amazing view, tentative staff very personal. Staff speaks English and Spanish. Menus in both English and Spanish.

The patios and pools were beautiful, with views of whales and dolphins in the bay.
