Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo

The fishing village of Zihuatanejo isn't as sleepy as it once was, but it remains in sharp relaxing contrast with stylish and new Ixtapa. Four miles and eons apart, Ixtapa's resorts, golf courses, discos, shops, restaurants and a new yacht-filled marina have grown out of a 5,000 acre coconut plantation. In Zihuatanejo, explore Paseo del Pescador with its tucked away shops, restaurants, inns and a museum of pre-Columbian artifacts.

Ixtapa on Mexico's Riviera Gold Coast affords hundreds of miles of sandy beaches which await you. Set amid sun-drenched orchards, tropical forests and palm groves lining Mexico's Riviera coast. Predictably warm days, balmy nights and congenial fish-filled waters offer you everything from secluded beaches with little more than a hammock to spoil the views. Ixtapa's magnificent resorts where you will find waterfalls cascade into swimming pools. Quiet? Sophisticated? Busy? Quaint? Historic? It's all here. Take your pick.
