Amara Ixtapa, Luxury Oceanfront Condo, 6th Floor

Friends getaway All was good. The kitchen needs updating and there was no toaster otherwise everything was great.staff was very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful Location We have stayed in Ixtapa a dozen times over the past few years. This was our first time at the Amara and we fell in love with the property.Unfortunately we had a number of issues during this stay. Some, the owner had no control over but others it seemed could have been dealt with more swiftly. The main problem was a lack of internet for the entire first week (the other condo we had also rented did have internet so it wasn't an Amara wide issue). We work remotely and our kids are in online school so it was tough to not have that. The condo is beautiful and clean. Ample towels and blankets. No toaster and you need to purchase matches or lighter to light the stove as it is gas (this is not explained anywhere so we couldn't use the stove for days).There was confusion on my end about housekeeping. In the fine print after booking it states that you have to pay to have housekeeping come at all. It was frustrating to not know this. Our other condo at the Amara, the owner included housekeeping 3 times per week. The balcony (and 2 bedrooms) overlook the Krystal pool where they party with LOUD music overnight. Over Christmas and NYE, there were spotlights and music that kept us up until 4am. Bring earplugs and eye masks. Ixtapa itself is beautiful and perfect and we will go back again and again-likely to the Amara from now on, but our different frustrations with this unit distracted from being able to fully relax so we would stay in a different unit.

Family Vacation The condo was spacious with an amazing oceanfront view! The staff was very friendly and helpful, we were treated like family! Lupita was very helpful, greeted us and made us feel at home. We look forward to coming back!
