This is one of my favourite lodgings. What makes this property unique is the staff, from service in recreational areas, cleaning, entertainment and restaurant service, everyone is eager to help guests. The place is clean y well kept, although facilites are older. Beach access is great, and there is also accessibility to walk to Playa Linda and visit Ixtapa Island. Amazing place and looking forward to my next stay!

This budget resort is the very last resort at the north end of the hotel zone. It’s very secluded and not within walking distance from anything, except for a few local vendors by the pier. The property is clean, but out dates. The buffet style food in the two restaurants, is very plain and of average quality. The front desk staff at the resort are extremely friendly and accommodating. Nightly themed entertainment shows are included, as well as guided use of the resorts kayaks and sail boats. Gracias!

room could be updated, but did not spend much time in it. The property itself is clean, including the beach and pool area. Eating areas are very clean also. Much activities if you choose to participate. Adult pool is wonderful. No children allowed. The activities team is absolutely fabulous. The shows at night were pretty good and catered to all ages. The food was typical resort food. I am a vegetarian and I survived. We were pretty much the only Americans there and they did an awesome job communicating with us and we felt very safe and comfortable. Many shops and nature reserve within a couple minute walk. There were 2 of us and I recommend going to the taxi counter before you exit the airport. Cost around 40 dollars total. Stayed for 9 days and will definitely return. I am hoping the same staff will be there!

The hotel is very clean, the staff very friendly and hardworking, the Mexican food is excellent, the other foods are not as good as the Mexican, the shows were great, we enjoy our time.

It is a hotel with outdated facilities, for example, they do not have an ATM and it is difficult to have cash, they use a key instead of a card. Is an observation, maybe in the future they can updated, but is not a big deal, we love it

Although the property is simple it is clean and the staff are the real jewels here. They are amazing people, friendly, helpful and are all are very good at their responsibilities. Do not come here if you do not want to try speaking Spanish, or if you want some slick high end experience. But If you want to see families having fun together and experience happy people all around you, then come. The food is not great but the bartenders are amazing. We tried to tip as many people as possible, but if I could give them ALL a raise in pay, I would!

Budget All Inclusive

Qualton Club Ixtapa is an older all inclusive hotel catering mostly to national tourists. The hotel grounds are clean and well maintained but dated. The food quality is pretty good for a low price all inclusive hotel. The beach is a darker sand beach but the water is warm and the waves are gentle, great for swimming. The sunsets are amazing. If you are not a high maintenance person this will definitely work for you.

Can’t wait to go back

Amazing staff, amazing location, and amazing price. Veronica was above and beyond one of the best customer service hospitality staff members I have ever met (I worked as a property manager for Marriott for ten years), our housekeeper kept our room spotless and left the towels in the shape of animals (my wife was really impressed), never encounter a staff memeber that wasn’t helpful or smiling. Location location location right next to crocodile habitat, on the beach, and pier for Ixtapa island is a 100 yards from hotel. There is even an area with little stores selling touristy stuff, and multiple food vendors next to hotel. A bus stop and taxis right outside hotel gate. A show every night, dancing, and many activities through the day. The room wasn’t amazing but clean and had an ocean view. Buffet not amazing (breakfast was the best) but was ok. The private dinner on the beach(complimentary) probably the most romantic dinner I’ve had with my wife and food was amazing. Read other reviews about how staff doesn’t speak English and other hotel guest were all Hispanic. This gringos Spanish isn’t that good and I got along fine, and guess what your in Mexico. For the price I can’t imagine a better deal, we’re already putting money aside so we can go back next year.

A Diamond in the Rough..

Feb.26-Mar.23, 2018. My wife and I spent 25 relaxing days at this all-inclusive Mexican resort. We arrived early afternoon, checkin was quick and reception was excellent. Hotel is a bit dated but everything functional. We had an ocean view room on 2nd floor..huge balcony. Air condition with remote was excellent as we had 30 c. and total sun everyday. No problem with hot water. The staff was excellent. One main buffet restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner (different cuisine each night. Saturday was Mexican night with tables and buffet set up outside in front of entertainment stage (dinner and show!,) fantastic food, especially my wife's favourite freshly fried churros. There is a restaurant by the beach serving lunch (usual burgers, hotdogs, fries). Mon, Wed, and Fri. they set up an a-la-carte Sunset restaurant by the beach, 5 star dining, reservations a must! Very nice beach (Playa Linda), dark sand with gold specks. There are about a dozen palapas with Adirondack style chairs on the beach, but we preferred to relax by the pool with the swim up bar which was adults only. A security guard was always nearby to enforce this rule. This resort is basically an all Mexican family resort, lots of kids, parents and even grandparents. Most of the staff do speak a little English, but knowing a little Spanish would help. We've travelled 20 yrs to all inclusive resorts booking with the \"big tour companies\" and this trip we've found this gem resort..no luxury, but authentic!

From dining, extra curricular activities, drinks from any of the many bars available. Even teach Spanish interpretations for correct pronunciations. We were well schooled. We stayed for 3 weeks treated like we were residents. Very affordable accommodations, great food every day, the produce is all just awesome fresh vine ripe so flavorful. If you have little kids their will be many others for them to play with seperate from the adult pool with bar. The shows at night are entertaining for all ages, the out dinner event are outstanding.

No coffee makers or refrig in rooms, older hotel, made do! Only complain would be the loud microphone use, exercising AM, children activities thru the afternoon!

Great vacation!!

Really loved this place and will return!! The beach is amazing ..... kind of a charcoal gray with gold specks all over! And soooooo clean ... and nice swimming right out in front of. The food was great, although you have to like to try new things. They had so many choices, you couldn't help but find something you liked. The staff always went out of their way to help you. It does help if you know at least a little Spanish, but if you try to use a little Spanish and tell them you are learning, they will most likely share the limited English they know also. Really liked that they had two pools and one was kept strictly adults only. Also liked that with the all inclusive, drunken and loud behavior was kept to a minimum.

Disappointed

Needs to be updated which was expected. English is not easily understood, but knew that as well, and managed with limited Spanish. The room: door stop near the toilet was an invitation to toe stubbing, balcony uncovered and unusable with only 2 cheap plastic chairs. While rooms were cleaned efficiently, one day we only received one towel, and another day somebody came and took the towels at 9am, and no replacements until late afternoon. Two bottles of water are in the room, a note on the bottles state that if you want more than the two provided, you will need to pay. In terms of restaurants, there is a limited snack bar, and a buffet. The buffet is closed 11:30 - 1 pm, and 4-7. No food available anywhere between 11:30 - 12:30. No food permitted out of restaurants, so forget about eating at your palapa. I saw birds eating the uncovered food in the buffet. Effort needs to be made to prevent this. Open air disco will keep you awake until after 2am. At every all-inclusive we have been at, at check-out if catching a later flight, you could still use the resort facilities. That is not the case here. We checked out just before noon, and were only permitted to wait in the lobby. This was a problem, as we had not yet eaten that day, and were expecting to grab a bite from the snack bar when it opened at 12:30 prior to leaving at 1pm. I had also not eaten at all the day before due to a stomach ailment. When we explained we had not eaten, the clerk just pointed at the checkout sign.

Authentic Mexico

Really enjoyed our stay at the Qualton. They upgraded us to a ocean view at no charge and we hadn't even asked! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Most of the staff knew English, but not all, so we learned a lot of Spanish on this trip-it was fun, and the staff tried hard with communication. The food was authentic Mexican which we love, but we did leave the resort a couple of times to eat, just for the variety. Location was good, right on the beach with beautiful Playa Linda right around the corner. It was a little more secluded from the strip so not many beach sellers, but just a short bus ride away was the shopping district so we chose to shop as opposed to the shopping coming to us! Only drawback was the hard bed, but that is the same in every hotel I've ever stayed at in Mexico regardless of star rating, so its to be expected. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to be immersed in an authentic Mexico experience.

The rooms were dated but very clean. The activity personal where the best! Went kayaking to Ixtapa Island, snorkeling, biking riding, karaoke, volleyball and much more! Little shops by the pier had great souvenirs and great prices. The open bar drinks were great. The only down fall was the food. It was very traditional Mexican and not to my liking however, others at the resort appeared to love it. I would definitely return. Not your fancy high rise but just absolutely beautiful.

As good as we remembered!

We stayed at the Qualton for a week 11 years ago. Since then we have traveled to many places in Mexico. We continued having extremely fond memories of our time at the Qualton. \"They\" always say \"you can't go back\". We were wondering if going back to the Qualton would prove our memories had exaggerated the positive aspects of the Qualton. Our memories were correct. We had a fantastic time of activities & relaxing. We love that the food is real Mexican food. It is sometimes difficult to get good Mexican food at an all inclusive. The rooms are comfortable and very clean! The views are amazing! We loved the food! Really like that because the weather is always perfect we ate every meal outside in the fresh air. (I hate going to Mexico in the winter to get away from the cold and have to wear a sweater in the restaurants) WE LOVE THE QUALTON CLUB! Hope to go back soon!

Very Mexican

Arrived on a Thursday afternoon (Feb 6) check-in was a breeze. Alex the bellboy took our bags and while taking us to our room he gave us the tour of the hotel grounds, very helpful. We stayed 9 days and enjoyed everyone of them. The food, shows. pools, grounds, bars were good. Being so close to Ixtapa Island was a bonus, we spent 3 days there enjoying the beach, food and drinks, and the great massages (by Marta) at Paraiso Escondido, look for the Mexican, American and Canadian flags and ask for Tina at the restaurant. Fishing off the pier was fun, didn't catch anything but talking and watching the locals was interesting. We have stayed in Ixtapa area twice before but enjoyed the Playa Linda area much more, quiet and relaxing. Went deep-sea fishing caught sailfish one day and lots of Bonita's another. Look for Capt. Gilberto Guzman of Zihuatanejo he knows where the fish are. Cons of the hotel, beach has mulch-like debris, restaurants and bars close for lack of people Mon-Thur, Weekends are busy, NO COFFEE early! 6:45 if you're lucky and then its not fresh.

be comfortable with yourself

Our extremely white and tall family went to the qualton last year for spring break. The price was right, so we did it! When we arrived, the shuttle driver asked if we were sure we were going to the Qualton? We soon discovered why he asked. We were the only American people at this resort. Since we are comfortable just hanging out with our family, it was no problem......but we also love the Mexican people and culture.....so with our limited Spanish skills, we decided to join the fiesta! We had a blast and loved being with everyone and truth be told, I believe they loved being with us!!

Great service and quiet relaxation

On arrival we were pleasantly surprised by the hotel, staff and ease of check in. They welcomed us by name! It was clear that this is a hotel that is popular with Mexican families on vacation but we were welcomed by the other guests with open arms. As the only two non-Mexicans (of almost 400 guests) we were a bit overwhelmed at first but were adopted most evenings by families inviting us to dance and eat with them! It only takes a few words of Spanish to have others open up to you! The room was cleaned (with lovely towel sculptures every day) and the view of the ocean was magnificent. The activities staff are among the hardest working I've ever seen! Meals were served buffet style so not always piping hot but a good variety. Don't be detered by the star rating: it was great! The drinks flowed freely, the staff served us by the pool and there was almost no need to reserve chairs by the pool early in the morning to ensure a spot. The lobby bar was opened early several nights by staff as we were sitting playing cards: we appreciated that extra attention! The palapas on the beach were lovely and drink service there by hotel staff was an unexpected plus. Remember to bring bug spray as the mosquitos can be very aggravating but it is beside the crocodile habitat! No worries, though it was well fenced! Smudgepots were used but they weren't that bad. It is 11km from Ixtapa but the bus runs regularly for 8 pesos. We only felt the need to go into town twice. A lovely quiet get-away!

Great Place to Feed MOSQUITOS

The hotel is right next to natural crocodile habitat and this is probably the reason for the large number of mosquitos out in the evenings. Not sure what was worse though, the bugs or the smoke the hotel staff was spreading around the guest areas. During dinner a staff member would be walking around the dining room with a bucket of smoking charcoal to try to eliminate the mosquitos but by the time dinner was over I felt like a smoked ham.
The food was not too bad but seemed very simialr every night, just a different colour sauce, but still tasted much the same.
The beach was calm, waves not too large so it made it easy for swimming. The beach was cleaned each evening and that made it nice.
The girl that made the rooms up was very nice and very much an artist. It was a race to get back to the room after she was there to see what she had left this time. She would make animals or figures from towels and decorate the bed with flowers, very nice.
There were activities such as kayaking and biking but that was only with staff suprvision at certain times.
To go any where, shopping or dining out, it was a long bus ride or expensive taxi ride.

Fantastic famoly vacation!

Staff was fabulous and friendly. Mostly Mexican tourists - very down to earth. Beach and pool great. Fishing great! Snorkeling good. Food was excellent. This was our third time here - we keep sending family members, and they all love it! This is a basic, small resort - not fancy, location and activites are great.

\"Not Fancy\" but \"Totally Relaxing\"

If you want a fancy high rise resort don't go here. It is simple, close to the beach, and very relaxing. The grounds are kept up beautifully with all the flowers. Room was very clean and motel had great hospitality. Food was as expected at most all inclusive buffets. Fresh fruit and genuine Mexican food was great. Not many of the motel workers spoke much English but worked very hard to communicate with us. Many Mexican families choose to vacation at the Qualiton which made our visit to Mexico very authentic.

Tengo muchos años visitando este hotel y nos encanta todo, su comida es demasiado buena al igual que la atención al cliente son muy atentos y amables todos los trabajadores, solo como recomendación si estaría bien que le dieran un poco más de mantenimiento a las habitaciones

Desde que llegamos nos tocó excelente atención, todos muy amables. Llegamos antes del check in pero nos ofrecieron resguardo de equipaje y pudimos estar en las instalaciones.
El personal de los restaurants y de las barras muy amables.
La señora y el chico que están en recepción nos brindaron una orientación sobre todo los serviciosde una manera excelente. Lo recomiendo mucho para pasar vacaciones en familia

He viajado varias ocasiones y todo ha estado muy bien, servicio, limpieza, el personal muy amable desde recepcion hasta personal de limpieza, meseros, todos.
El unico detalle en esta ocasion fue que las habitaciones que me asignaron fue con cama king zise y siempre habian sido camas dobles ya que eramos 4 personas por habitacion, nunca nos habia pasado eso pero bueno en esta ocasion nos toco asi.
Fuera de eso siempre ha sido muy buen servicio y claro que esperamos volver muy pronto.

Las habitaciones son un poco pequeñas pero cuentan con clima que puedes ajustar a tu gusto. El hotel esta a pie de playa, es muy agradable y cuenta con variedad de actividades todos los días (necesitas informarte bien sobre los horarios). La mayoría del personal es súper amable, atento a tus necesidades y dudas.
Sin duda una experiencia acogedora!

En general, todo estuvo bien, solo que las instalaciones son algo anticuadas, la música de la disco bastante retro y repetitiva toooodos los días...la atención de algunos miembros del personal NO muy buena (bar margaritas, disco, área de toallas - aclaro, solo una mujer de baja estatura, llenita y morena con muy mala actitud), del resto el trato fue excelente; habitación e instalaciones limpias y funcionales...
