Las Brisas Ixtapa

Description:

• Set above the high-rise hotels of Ixtapa on a rocky promontory, Las Brisas is the best of Ixtapa's resorts. Notable for its gorgeous private beach cove and striking stepped architecture, designed by renowned architect Ricardo Legorreta, Las Brisas features large stone and stucco public areas, recently renovated guest rooms with upscale beach decor and oceanview terraces with hammocks, and multitier swimming pools with waterfalls.

The six master suites come with private pools. Beach Club rooms offer upgraded amenities, complimentary cocktails, and continental breakfast. The hotel sits in beautiful junglelike surroundings and has tennis courts on the property. Internet specials are usually available, and guests receive discounts at a nearby golf course.
