Make the Most of Your Zihuatanejo Stay

A fishing village that never forgot itself

Zihuatanejo remains what so many coastal towns aspire to be: authentically itself. While neighboring Ixtapa rose as a planned resort destination, this bay-side community preserved its cobblestone streets, low-rise architecture, and working waterfront. The Paseo del Pescador still functions as the town's social center, where fishermen unload their catch each morning and locals gather in the evenings. You'll find the rhythm here distinctly unhurried, with palapa-roofed restaurants serving the day's catch steps from where it was landed.

Where the bay meets refined dining

Playa La Ropa curves along the bay for over a mile, offering calm waters backed by hillside properties that include some of Mexico's most sophisticated boutique hotels. The beach transitions seamlessly from casual palapas to establishments like Tentaciones, where cliffside tasting menus showcase ocean-to-table cuisine with panoramic views. A water taxi to Playa Las Gatas reveals an ancient Tarascan breakwater that creates exceptional snorkeling conditions. Business travelers will find Ixtapa's convention facilities just 15 minutes away, though many prefer Zihuatanejo's intimate scale for executive retreats.

Navigating between two worlds

Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo International Airport connects directly to major hubs. White combi vans run frequently between the towns and beaches for minimal cost, though business travelers typically arrange private vehicles for flexibility. Day trips extend to Troncones for surfing or Barra de Potosí's lagoon sanctuary.
