Ixtapa is one of the newest resorts in Mexico with verdant golf courses, manicured boulevards and deluxe hotel accommodations and lies adjacent to Zihuatanejo, a small but growing town that still clings to its origins and tranquil pace of a seaside fishing village. Roosters crowing in the morning are still the alarm clocks here. Along the worn cobblestone streets, shopkeepers line the sidewalks with serapes in vivid yellows, purples and reds and blues.

The two towns together are known as the Dorado Pacífico and allows vistors, the best of both worlds - glitz, glamour and luxury of the new resorts and the traditional flavor of the real unpolished Mexico. Everyone agrees, you will want to return, after you experience the gorgeous tropical setting of white sandy beaches, dotted with coconut palms. In Ixtapa / Zihuatanejo, you can choose from great water sports, shop, snorkel among the beautiful multi-colored fish or just relax in a hammock and watch spectacular sunsets as the day comes to a close. Come and see why everyone is talking about this dynamic Mexican paradise.
