Have you been to Cancun, Puerto Vallarta and Cabo and are looking for something a bit more authentically Mexican?   Zihuatanejo is a classic Mexican village, founded in 1522 by Spanish explorers who found it too small to be strategically important for war or trade.  It is a laid-back town where you will find sheltered beaches, a seaside promenade, alfresco cafes and native markets. 
 
There are also several exceptional hotels in Zihuatanejo.  One of our favorites for honeymooners is Villa Del Sol.  This boutique hotel has only 70 rooms and suites and is located on a private beach that stretches for over 600 feet along the calm blue waters of the Pacific Ocean.  Dining at Villa del Sol is a gourmet experience and a number of packages are available which include some or all of your meals.
 
North of Zihuatenejo and Ixtapa is our favorite choice for families – Melia Azul Ixtapa. This is the by far the best all inclusive hotel in Ixtapa with fabulous pools, an excellent childrens program and beautiful rooms, most with a wonderful oceanview.
 
The city of Ixtapa offers fine boutiques, cafes, gourmet restaurants, all-night discos, two golf courses and the main hotel zone.  Here you’ll find a selection of moderately priced resorts such as Barcelo, Dorado Pacifico and Krystal.
