| 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.
