We are booked for next March staying 5 nights at Presidente, did the hotel get sold to Holiday Inn? Does anyone know if they going to keep the current staff, they are the main reason we go there. Thank you

As I understand it the former Presidente Hotel has kept most of their staff, but I can't confirm this. Maybe someone who has stayed there can. I believe you should see the same faces as before.

Priceless Karen! This post pretty much says it all. Very similar to other posts when people here find out about hotel, restaurant or other business changes taking place there. The first concern is not regarding physical changes to the property, but with regards to the personal that have made your favorite hotel or restaurant and the destination in general, the special place that it is. If I get a re-do on earth, I'm going to start a business and come down there and cherry pick all my employees from that location.

Thanks everyone I appreciate the information. Last year we spent 5 days at the President and 5 days at Villa Mexicana had a great time splitting the trip. Same plan again for next spring, take care everyone.

You are most welcome. I hope you will please try to remember to post a trip report here so that future visitors will have info on the changes at the old Presidente.
Locals are going to have a hard time calling the new Holiday Inn anything other than the Presidente. Heck, lots of us still call the Viceroy "Villa del Sol".

We stay in a condo down the beach and visit all of our friends at Presidente every couple of days during our time in Ixtapa
We also go to the Mexican Fiesta a couple of times
Cleo was speaking of retiring in a couple of years
Will see them all again in a month

This will be my 12th time in Ixtapa/Zih, I traveled around different areas of Mexico and Caribbean and finally found my vacation home. Friends don't understand why I go to the same area every year, my standard answer join me and then you will know why. I have been to Mexico 21 times, hitting Playa Del Carmen in November for 5 days relaxer, but still can't wait to get back to Ixtapa/Zih next March.
