This hotel really is something special. Beautifully designed and maintained property, built against a cliff-side with crashing surf right below. Breathtaking ocean views from every room. Private sun deck and plunge pool in room. Friendly and professional staff make you feel immediately welcome and look after your every need. Excellent restaurants and spa on site. Even the gym is spotless with a fantastic view. Would strongly recommend to the discerning traveller looking for something a little more classy.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Cala Del Mar. I cannot wait to return. It was the most romantic and luxurious stay I could have ever imagined and I have traveled all of the world and stayed in some incredible places. We came for our honeymoon and everyone there made it so special. I don't think I have ever felt that relaxed in my entire life. The rooms, the private infinity pool, the food, drinks and special amenities were just stunning. The margaritas were INCREDIBLE. Come here to just relax and soak in the most incredible view you have ever seen. Only downside is they don't have beach access. Our honeymoon was truly perfection because of this stunning resort and the incredible people that work there.

My stay at Cala de Mar in Ixtapa was truly fantastic. The room was stunning, featuring a private jacuzzi with breathtaking views, creating the perfect spot to unwind. The hotel was impeccably clean, and the staff was warm and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. While the hotel is exceptional, a few improvements could elevate it further. First, gratuities are already included, but this isn’t clearly communicated, which can cause confusion. More transparency would enhance the experience. Second, while the food was decent, a more skilled chef would bring the dining to the same high standard as the rest of the hotel. Additionally, the Seafood Market restaurant’s reservation system needs improvement—despite requiring reservations, my table was given away to other guests. Another issue was room service, which often took up to an hour—a long wait for a luxury hotel. Improving efficiency here would be a great enhancement. Despite these minor issues, Cala de Mar remains an incredible destination. The breathtaking views, exceptional rooms, and welcoming atmosphere make it a wonderful place to relax. With a few refinements, it has the potential to be truly world-class. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a luxurious, peaceful, and scenic escape in Ixtapa!

My husband and I were looking for a private, quiet, relaxing stay that would allow us to decompress from our hectic jobs. Cala de Mar allowed us to do that with its beautiful vistas from our own private suite/plunge pool and massages. They even arranged our transportation and gave us bookable activity options during our stay. The staff are very friendly and took care of us while respecting our privacy. If you’re looking for excellent service, peace and relaxation, we highly recommend Cala de Mar.

Cala De Mar is an excellent Resort. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food was amazing. I don't recall a single dish we didn't like and they have plenty of Vegan options as well. The in room (on deck) plunge pool were a great addition and easily heated by a quick call to the front desk. The private pools were also kept very clean.

Amazing Hotel

Amazing hotel, the room was spacious and quite. The incredible thing is there is no check out / check in time at this hotel. The breakfast was decent (flavor wise), but room service, lunch, dinners 5 stars!!! Our room had a personal pool that kept us from going to the community pool. Great place to relax and disconnect; we hope to visit again!
