This was our second visit to Aura Del Mar; the first visit was when it was named Brisas Del Mar in 2010. This property has kept all the charm that we feel in love with back in 2010 and has made some incredible additions since. The pool deck over looking the ocean was peaceful and gave you a beautiful 360• view. The landscaping is gorgeous and tended to. The onsite spa has been updated and is lovely. Coffee machines in every room with fresh ground coffee provided. Turn down service at night. Cold A/C Friendly staff Abel is on the top deck serving happy hour and a gorgeous view of the sunset. The beach / pool towels they provide are adorable. This hotel is a gem.

The property is unique in that there are several different levels and different room types. The decor is very interesting with lots of plants and statues and two talkative parrots. We were in a top floor room with two beds and a fabulous view. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony every morning. The location to walk along the malecon to town was convenient and offered us the opportunity to walk to several different restaurants. The only downside is the number of stairs to reach the pool and the beach. We would stay again however it was probably a one time stay as it is a bit out of our comfort zone due to cost.

This was my 3rd visit to the property and first since Covid, and the property still holds the same charm and hospitality since my first visit in 2014. The rooms have a lot of space and incredible views from most of them. Staff are so hospitable and the restaurant is great for breakfast, and lunch/drinks by the pool or on the beach. And of course the beautiful landscaping and the Parrots just complete the Old Mexico feel. Can't wait to return again and again!

You will not find a friendlier or more welcoming staff. Such a beautiful, boutique hotel with clean rooms and facilities. We got upgraded to the Noyolytzi Suite from the Master Suite which was incredible. So clean, with two bedrooms and a big outdoor area in between, complete with a full kitchen and appliances, including a blender. We hadn't planned a single excursion (trying to keep things easy and stress free) but there's a very friendly man on site much of the time, Carlos, who helps you book whatever you want, from snorkeling to turtle release to sunset cruise and many other things. He seems to know all the best tour guides and sets everything up for you, often next day or even same day if it's early enough. One thing they don't advertise that we were so grateful for is that they will do laundry for you for a small charge. Our laundry bill for about 15 or so items was around $17 USD. The stairs are a thing and can be a lot, as noted in other reviews. But if you call ahead or email ahead and ask, they can advise you on which room to book with fewer stairs to the beach if you want. We were grateful for the extra calorie burn after dining on all that delicious food! And there are always staff around to greet you as you climb the stairs, and a very friendly McCaw!

An amazing hotel! Beautiful grounds and rooms. It was like stepping into a little dream. The restaurant and staff were welcoming, knowledgeable and accommodating. The food so fresh and incredible selection of local seafood creativity prepared and presented. The front desk staff were warm and exceptionally friendly. The macaw’s living in the lobby area were beautiful….my favorite in the morning. The pool is absolutely stunning, just breathtaking. My favorite stay ever in Ixtapa and I’ve been there numerous times. Enjoy!

This was my ninth time visiting Mexico, and my favorite hotel by far! I loved that the hotel is very authentic, as far as its materials-wood, stones, tiles, and stucco-beautiful carved wooden doors. They scattered hibiscus flowers on my bed and left three bottles of water, which I refilled at a water bottle close by (bonus points). My room, while technically on the first floor, was elevated and had a large balcony and an excellent view of the beach. I loved that I could walk down to the pool, the beach, and the fantastic restaurant very easily. Alberto, who checked me in, immediately offered to carry my suitcase to my room, and made sure I knew how to operate the AC before he left. The staff at their restaurant, Bistro Del Mar could not have been more excellent and welcoming. I was traveling alone, and in Mexico, at resorts and hotels, that can sometimes result in awkward or inattentive service, but this was not the case. Cesar was always genuine in his pleasure at making me my nightly margaritas (delicious and not too sweet), and my frequent server, Tomas, was always attentive but non intrusive. Every meal I had was top notch, and right on the ocean! I highly recommend Aura Del Mar and can’t wait to return.
