Ixtapa - Twice as Pleasing
Set against lush green mountains,
this tropical beauty offers all the modern comforts of luxury
resorts, and all the charm of a sleepy seaside village. Located
only seven kilometers apart, Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo combine to
deliver the best of both worlds. Ixtapa invites you to experience
some of the best watersports on the southwest coast of Mexico,
plus award winning golf courses and a wide variety of luxurious
accommodations. Zihuatanejo is a classic Mexican pueblo... unpretentious
and serene. Stroll down the cobblestone streets, shop at intriguing
native markets and enjoy a meal or drinks at a seaside cafe.
Lay back, pick up the pace or do
a little of both and enjoy two great vacations in one.

Ixtapa Beaches
Playa Palmar
With moderate surf and a long stretch of sandy beach that extends
for approximately 2 miles, this beach is where the majority of
Ixtapa hotels are located. Playa Palmar also offers a great selection
of watersports.
Playa Linda
Qualton Club and Melia Azul are located here. Ride horseback along
the beach to the delta of Ixtapa River for an incredible view.
This beach serves as a launching point for excursions to Ixtapa
Island.
Playa Coral (on Ixtapa Island)
A scuba divers delight, named for the abundance of coral formations.
Playa La Ropa
Located in the center of Zihuatanejo Bay and home to many hotels
and restaurants, Playa La Ropa is considered by many to be the
most beautiful beach on the bay, and the best for swimming due
to its clean, calm waters.
Ixtapa Island
Just a ten minute boat ride from Ixtapa's Hotel Zone, Ixtapa Island
is a wildlife refuge with deer, armadillos, iguanas and birds.
Its beautiful beaches induce a variety of moods and possibilities,
including excellent snorkeling and diving. In the acacia forest
of the uninhabited west side of Isla Ixtapa, you can observe exotic
species of native birds.
Playa Las Gatas (Zihuatanejo
Bay)
With its white coral sand and crystalline waters, Playa Las Gatas
is considered one of Mexico's most attractive coves. A rock breakwater
creates a tranquil spot for swimming, snorkeling and diving, while
thatched beachfront cafes offer fresh seafood and other local
cuisine.
Adventures in Ixtapa
Fishing
Internationally renowned as a mecca for Anglers, Sailfish soaring
up to 175 lbs are the primary game most of the year. Black and
Pacific Blue Marlin range from 275-400 lbs (winter months are
the best to catch the big ones.) Other species like high-flying
Roosterfish, Wahoo, Barracuda and Spanish Mackerel stay closer
to the shore. Stroll along the Paseo del Pescador in Zihuatenjo
and watch local fisherman returning from sea with fresh merchandise.
The International
Sailfish Tournament is held in May, offering cars and cash prizes.
In addition to abundant fishing, the town reverberates with parties
and entertainment activities.
Diving/Snorkeling
Abundant and colorful sea life, ranging from seahorses to humpback
whales, and hundreds of species in-between, await your discovery.
Fifty-two dive sites are categorized for beginner, intermediate
and expert divers. Because of the confluence of two currents,
the local sea life is incredibly rich. Visibility reaches 100-150
feet, and the water is usually over 80 °F.
Snorkeling is
great at Manzanillo Beach, just south of Zihuatanejo, where the
bottom is between 15-20 feet deep.
Boating
Charter your own fishing boat, or join the fun on a catamaran.
The 450-acre Marina Ixtapa, with 621 yacht slips, is located near
the Hotel Zone. A promenade along the slips, lined with indoor
and outdoor cafes, compliments the nautical atmosphere.
Prepare yourself for the Melia
Azul Ixtapa! Pay a visit to this All-Inclusive resort paradise
and be overwhelmed by its magnificent architecture, comfortable
accommodations, world-class service, and assortment of amenities.
Spend unforgettable days lounging along one of the three incredible
pool areas, pay a visit to the swim-up bar, and stroll the beautiful
stretch of tranquil beachfront before taking a plunge into the
cool waters of the Mexican Pacific. Play a round of tennis, and
then refresh yourself with a delicious tropical drink. A delightful
variety of Mexican, Italian and American foods are sure to please
both the gourmet and casual diner. 250 air-conditioned ocean view
rooms.
