"Cala de Mar Resort & Spa Ixtapa is a smallish resort that feels even smaller, a tranquil experience in a luxe enclave by the sea. While hardly the edgiest or most aggressively trend-setting of hosts, you can count on them to never put a foot wrong — lapses in taste are virtually nonexistent, and the service is always professional. Take the splendid beauty of the setting into account, and there are few places in Mexico to match it." - MICHELIN Guide

"Although the resort has 54 suites, its cascading layout down a seaside cliff makes rooms feel private: each suite features outdoor terraces with Pacific Ocean views and secluded, infinity-edge plunge pools tucked out of view from other guests, lending a sense of exclusive seaside romance." - Peter Schlesinger Peter Schlesinger Peter Schlesinger is a writer, editor, and digital content specialist who is passionate about travel and cross-cultural experiences.
