Your Flight Schedules

Arrival Flights – We suggest that you pick a flight to arrive Mexico City before 1:00 PM. By the time you have claimed your luggage and gone through customs and immigration, there is time to have lunch at one of the airport cafes and to exchange some money. We will regroup at 3:00 PM just outside the immigration area for the 2 hour ride to the resort. Our experience shows that by the time we arrive at the hotel, rooms will be ready and check-in will go smoothly. For all others who arrive at different times, we will try to group you to avoid the surcharge for “less than minimum” in the car.

Departure Flights – We suggest a return flight that departs Mexico City about 1:00 PM or later. Transfer time needed is 4 hours prior to flight time to allow for the 2 hour ride and 2 hour international check-in. Our group transfer will depart the hotel at about 9:00 AM. For those leaving on later flights, we will let you know how many others might be on the same schedule to allow you a later departure if there are enough to group together without a surcharge.

Spend the next eight days experiencing old world charm, friendly service, and casual elegance. Indulge in the various spa and fitness services, including massage, facials, body scrubs, exercise classes and more. Sign up for tennis or golf lessons. Relax at one of the two swimming pools, in the new outdoor whirlpool or on a lounge on the terrace. Take a break from all that pampering and tour Taxco, a nearby colonial town known as the silver capital of the world. Explore quaint, cobblestone streets, colonial architecture, and the famous Santa Prisca Cathedral. Visit some of the more than 500 silver studios, which sell refined art and bargain jewelry.

Stroll through the tropical gardens, and discover for yourself the many pleasures and surprises of Hotel Spa Ixtapan. Amidst lush fountains and streams, you'll find inviting pools, comfortable lounges are the perfect spot to rest, or to curl up with your favorite book or magazine. The poolside bar is a popular spot for gatherings and meeting new found friends, or just enjoy a cappuccino under the palm trees of the elegant Terrace Cafe.

Beyond the resort, a short stroll will take you to the center of Ixtapan de la Sal, an authentic family town, typical of the region. You'll find it bustling with life and full of color, offering quaint vistas and charming walks. Visit the outdoor markets, or discover your favorite artisan shop for pottery and many other handicrafts. For further explorations, inquire with our concierge to schedule your own guided tour to some of the historical or natural wonders of our region.

At night, enjoy live music, a drink on the terrace or a movie in the private theatre.

Please note: Check-in time is usually 4:00 pm. In the event that your room is not ready, we suggest you pack a change of clothing or a bathing suit in your carry-on to take immediate enjoyment of the resort facilities.
