Zihuatanejo Vacation - Ixtapa Vacations - Ideal for Mexico Family Vacations?

Blending into the lush green backdrop of the Sierra Madres, Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo lies along a hilly, tropical coastline and is surrounded by dozens of white sandy beaches. Ixtapa's main attraction is its golden beaches that surround its gorgeous bay.

Because of its newness on Mexico's resort scene, sightseeing is rather limited. Instead, Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo vacations offer the modern conveniences of shopping, entertainment and deluxe leisure activities.

Nearby, the village of Zihuatanejo, meaning "land of women," offers a more informal setting. Because its history dates back to the pre-Columbian Olmec civilization, you can still find ancient artifacts in the area. In the heart of this charming pueblo is a sheltered harbor and beaches which provide a gateway to dense jungle like hills.

Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo vacations do not compromise in its mission to provide tranquility, relaxation and the enjoyment of an unhurried lifestyle. Guests can enjoy world-class golf and excellent tennis facilities.

The calm Pacific surf is ideal for watersports, with over 25 dive sites ranging from coral reefs, rocky islets and sunken shipwrecks. Snorkeling, deep-sea fishing and horseback riding are also available.

You will also find an array of deluxe hotels, marinas, restaurants and nightclubs in Ixtapa, each with itsown distinct architecture and ambiance. The resort areas provide the best shopping opportunities.

With Zihuatanejo's seaside cafes, intriguing native markets, seaside promenade, and centuries of tradition make this area a joy to explore.
