Ixtapa, and its neighbor Zihuatanejo, provide a delightful contrast, and two distinct examples of Mexico’s coastal towns. Ixtapa is a sleek beach resort with shopping centers. Zihuatanejo is more rustic and slow-paced and popular with tourist because of its village-like atmoshpere, cobblestone streets, and open-air restaurants.
Both towns are clean and well kept, not over-developed, and remain relatively uncrowded. The entire area offers more than a dozen beautiful beaches. And perhaps the greatest quality of the area, besides the abundance of sun, sand and sea, is the range of experiences possible- from elegant and sophisticated to traditional and rustic. |
