HOtel staff was not helpful, beach was unswimmable and life guards were there to keep everyone out of the very dangerous water. Also there was green foam floating in the water for miles the entire week we were there. The room smelled moldy as there were no fans in the bathroom and moisture never evaporated. Same in the hotel elevators... more

The check-in area/lobby is a little hectic and worn, but over-all we had a good travel experience at the Krystal. The food was actually quite delicious and priced fairly. Enjoyed the pool, beach, and the view. Staff were friendly and helpful. We would go back. more

The hotel is definety showing it's age despite a somewhat recent superficial cosmetic makeover it's musty and falling apart. Drinks were pretty expensive, but definetaly do as we did and pay cash for everything if you want to avoid crazy check out lines and go across the street to eat. The view was awesome and the pool was decent so... more

The NH Krystal Ixtapa is an attractive hotel. The pool area is it's greatest asset. Shaded in parts by coconut palms, a swim-up bar and an intereted physical layout make a day at the pool very pleasant. It's when you get to your room that the trouble begins. The rooms are not maintained well and we had to be moved... more

We just returned from a week's stay at NH Krystal. We loved the place and had a wonderful week. The staff aims to please and are courteous and helpful. The pool areas are well maintained. The pool activities were numerous...volleyball, water aerobics, water polo and poolside bingo. NH is an easy walk to a shopping area that includes lots of... more

The place was awesome!!! One of the most beautiul places i've ever been, some of the best food i've ever had (the steakhouse was to die for) Being an 18 year old I couldn't get enough of all the bars this place had to offer, so many i couldn't even count, unbelievable, i highly recommend this place to anyone, 5... more

Krystal is a good family hotel, however, as other reviews have stated its showing its age just a little bit. They have a good toddler pool that is devided into 2 depths, approximately 1 foot and 2 foot with a little water island at approximately 6 inches. The adult pool is nice with a waterfall to jump off & slide... more

Overall, we enjoyed our vacation to the area. The Krystal was decent, but not great. Once we got to Ixtapa, we realized that we should have researched more and stayed in Zihuatanejo, where you can find very beautiful hotels, and much better deals. The Krystal was built approx 20 years ago, and it is showing it's age. They maintain it... more

my wife and i are not really resort-types but wanted some creature comforts during a backpacking trip. we spent 2 nights here and this place certainly won us over. the rooms are great, all ocean views with patios. i read some concerns about construction noise next door but the exterior of that project is pretty much complete (at Oct 7... more
