Next Stop Ixtapa Zihuatanejo (callto911)

Following a 16.4 percent jump in arrivals this summer, Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo is gearing up for what it hopes will be one of its strongest winter seasons ever. “With new international flights increasing the destination’s connectivity, we expect a busy 2015,” said Vanessa Mariscal, public relations manager for the Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Presently, there are more nonstop and connecting flights, by more airlines, than ever before.”

...All told, the dual destination boasts more than 7,000 hotel rooms. The newest addition to the region is the all-inclusive, all-suite Azul Ixtapa Grand, which features whirlpools and ocean-view balconies in every suite, as well as a wide array of a la carte restaurants. Located approximately 20 minutes from ZIH, Mariscal said the property is part of the $80 million Hotel Zone II Ixtapa development plan.

For its part, Zihuatanejo, a diminutive fishing port, epitomizes Old World Mexican charm, said Mariscal, while Ixtapa has garnered a reputation as a modern world-class resort destination.

“Zihuatanejo’s hotels are smaller,” said Mariscal. “They range from economy to grand luxury properties situated on La Ropa Beach or overlooking the bay.” Most Ixtapa hotels, meanwhile, are located in the Hotel Zone along Palmar Beach.
