Sunscape Dorado Pacifico Ixtapa

If you're headed to Mexico's Pacific coast on a family getaway, don't rule out the Sunscape Dorado Pacifico Ixtapa. Thanks to the Unlimited-Fun package at this AMResort, globetrotting clans can get a lot of bang for their buck. In addition to spacious digs (equipped with flat-screen TVs, stocked minibars, coffee and tea makers and private balconies or terraces), Sunscape Dorado's room rates also cover everything from meals at six restaurants to access to a variety of amenities and activities. Younger guests will especially love the resort's water slides, while complimentary childcare, the educational Explorer's Club (for kids ages 3 to 12) and the entertaining Core Zone Teens Club offers parents the opportunity to lounge on the beach or unwind at the Sunscape Spa by Pevonia (treatments cost extra). Golf enthusiasts should note that Sunscape Dorado's central Ixtapa location sits less than 2 miles from two separate golf courses. Overall, guests sing Sunscape Dorado's praises. However, there is one caveat: Many past visitors call attention to the limited number of lounge chairs by the pool, saying that you'll need to get up early to snag a spot.
