Tips
>
The neighbouring towns of Ixtapa (modern, tourist-oriented) and Zihuatanejo (small, traditional) are an interesting contrast. Most resorts are in Ixtapa, but Zihuatanejo is easy to get to.
>
Head out to Isla Ixtapa for lunch. A ferry departs every few minutes from the dock in Zihuatanejo.
Recommended Hotels & Resorts
