It's all true -the good and the bad reviews. It just depends on how you "roll with it". We spent 2 weeks at the Fontan in February 2012 and were happy with our decision. Having read all the reviews prior to going, we weren't surprised as to what we got. Here's my long winded review. FOOD: True - there was... More

Four couples spent the week. We all received ocean front balcony rooms with exceptional views. Daily breakfast buffet offered grill choice and other options, all good. Lunch beachside had a varied menu from club sandwich to garlic shrimp and we all enjoyed meals there. Snack bar was average. Place is outdated and needs a facelift/update inside and out but was...

After the doom and gloom reviews over Christmas we were a bit apprehensive about going but had a good time. Just to be clear we have been at 12 different hotels in Mexico and a like number in Cuba and the islands. The hotel is older and is showing its age, needs some cosmetic touch ups, but it was clean,... More

We stayed at the Fontan January 21 for 2 weeks and overall it was very good for the price that we paid. Most people that feel negative about the resort are forgetting that it's a Mexican resort and therefore there will be Mexicans and Mexican food. For an all inclusive the food was quite good, better than we expected. The... More

I've been reading all of travelers reviews on this hotel. We knew going in it wasn't a high end hotel. What was pleasantly surprising was how well maintained it was and very very clean. The beds are very hard and smaller than what we are used to. The food was average and we would have appreciated more variety in fruit.... More

Stayed at the Fontan over Christmas and New Years. Room was ok as far as space went but the mattress was filthy as was the blanket and spread. Our room was near the pool area and it was impossible to sleep at night because they clean the pool decks and drag the chairs around for hours. The food was awful.... More

Got back yest. from the Fontan. We paid $300. plus taxes for the week, AI. It's not worth anymore money than that. It is clean and well kept, the trees and plants etc are very nice and lush. Hotel is older and dated and needs some work, but it's not a dump at all. Just lower end. Staff are all... More

We stayed at the Hotel Fontan in Ixtapa for 7 nights in January 2012. I would rate the hotel as a 2 star. We opted for the AI option....and definitely got our moneys worth. The rooms were average with beds a bit harder than we like. The food was average to a bit above average. The only downfall was that... More

Just returned from a week tonight and needed to write my review. This hotel is most definately a 2 star!! I have been travelling since 1977 and have been to many 3, 4 and 5 star resorts and this is NOT a 3 star. First the good ----- The staff is amazing, they can't seem to do enough for you.... More
