Very nice place by the lake. On site restaurant is good and convenient but you really should go out and explore. There are couple billiards tables by the lobby and there are some pickleball courts on the property as well. Staff was very friendly especially the manager in the Sunday buffet.

Pésimo servicio del hotel Real de Chapala, pagamos casi 3mil pesos por una noche y el aire acondicionado no sirve. Fuimos a recepción para que nos ayudaran porque hace demasiado calor y de plano no podemos dormir y hasta nos sentimos mal y la actitud del encargado de nombre Daniel fue totalmente decepcionante. Literal nos dijo que el hotel no puede hacer nada, que nos tenemos que esperar hasta las 7 am y que ni siquiera tienen un ventilador para prestarnos y que además en ese hotel siempre es lo mismo, que no somos a los primeros que nos pasa eso y que a él nadie lo apoya en el hotel, entonces que para qué nos hace ilusiones. Nunca había recibido un trato así de algún personal de un hotel en mi vida y eso que viajo mucho. Rayó en lo cínico. Por favor, jamás se queden en este hotel, por supuesto que iré a la PROFECO a levantar mi denuncia pero jamás me volveré a quedar en el Real de Chapala

I liked this hotel. The scenery of the lake and swimming pools/outdoor areas are spectacular and the meals are first class. Very much an upscale setting and worthy of a corporate event. The staff was very friendly and super accommodating for a couple of changes I needed. The hotel is very well kept for an older-style hotel. Only one complaint: I like a hard mattress, but my bed felt like a rock. I mean, the absolute hardest mattress I have ever slept on.

We stopped in Ajijic by fluke! I saw the pictures of the hotel on Expedia and booked it. What a lovely surprise! The room was bright and roomy. The staff very friendly. Luis Aceves at the front desk a pleasure to speak with. Parking and check in was a breeze. Although the wait staff was attentive, one drawback was that the cash register was not at the bar, but at the outside restaurant. It took time to process the payment. Seeing and chatting to older guests at the hotel, they mentioned feeling like unsafe going into the jacuzzi due to a lack of a handrail. Just a thought to add. Thank you again for a lovely stay!
