Ixtapa / Zihuatanejo...

offers fabulous resorts, beaches, diving, fishing and delightful cruise destination. It is certainly one of the most striking areas on Mexico's Pacific coast.

Ixtapa, about 125 miles north of Acapulco, offers the experience of a modern resort. A little over 4 miles away, Zihuatanejo offers you the experience of a rustic, traditional Mexican fishing village.
 

This combination offers travelers a unique opportunity to experience two contrasting choices on a Mexico vacation, the comfort and resort luxury of the new, with the atmosphere, character and feel of old Mexico.

Ixtapa was once a coconut plantation. Looking for a geographical location to build a Cancun-like resort on the Pacific Coast in the 1970's, the Mexican Tourist Board chose this village as the next 'big place' for Mexican Tourism.

Today you'll find a state of the art tourist facility boasting a host of large and medium sized Ixtapa resorts and hotels, condos, dozens of restaurants, discos, live entertainment, shopping, two top line Golf courses and numerous tennis facilities. Something for everyone and able to  cater to every need for your Mexico vacation.

Zihuatanejo offers you the opportunity to experience provincial life and a quiet, relaxed and natural atmosphere.
Zihuatanejo is a picturesque fishing village nestled within a small jewel like bay containing four beautiful beaches. Zihuatanejo accommodations  range from the simple to the elegant, depending on your tastes and budget. You'll find a great selection of restaurants from small family owned thatched roof eateries to exotic Gourmet dining.

Both locations are set against the backdrop of the majestic Sierra Madre Mountains. Excellent white sand beaches and stunning natural scenery abound.

Regardless of which kind of Mexican Riviera vacation you'd like to experience, Ixtapa / Zihuatanejo offers you the opportunity to experience a magnificent climate, stunning natural beauty and superb hotels, resorts and cruise destination.
