<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">The property is unreal gorgeous.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>(See more in my pics section)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">For me when I went I needed a couple of days to get my arms around what is going on and what kind of trip I was on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  This is not like learning about culture, it is more like the ideal beach vacation.  It was exactly what I needed and one of the most beautiful places I could imagine.</span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Only gripe about the property – the humidity makes for odd smells from the air conditioners…bring some kind of incense or something.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Spa:
This was the priciest thing we saw.
At the south end of the beach – past the kayaks there was a lady who was actually on the next property.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Her prices were about half of what the property was asking, but you got what you paid for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The spa services in Club Med Ixtapa were amazing and the facility would rival a great spa in the states.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>So bring extra money for spa services if that is what you are looking forward to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>For pricing, think high end spa pricing in the states.  To be sure you get exactly what you want call Barbara and have her take care of special packages ahead of time...Barbara - <strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">888-722-0697</span></strong></span></p>

The pictures don't do it justice.  This place is "touched by God" beautiful, and you can't tell by my pics, but the property is HUGE.
