Hotels in Ixtapa - Zihuatanejo

For a classic Mexican Pacific coast experience, consider the twin destinations of Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo. Ixtapa is a planned resort area with a long, walkable beach and a famous golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., offering a polished, convenient stay. Just ten minutes south, "Zihua" provides the contrast: a working fishing village with a lively central mercado and the curved, sheltered bay of Playa La Ropa, perfect for swimming. Together, they let you split your time between modern resort amenities and authentic local charm.

Ixtapa's hotel zone is ideal for families and those who prefer having restaurants, shopping, and watersports like parasailing right outside their door. Zihuatanejo Bay, with its waterfront *malecón* and smaller hotels tucked into the hills, is better for couples and solo travelers seeking a more intimate, town-centered vibe. The Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo International Airport is a short, 20-minute drive from both areas, making transfers straightforward.

On HOTEVI, you'll find 49 hotels across the region. Accommodation ranges from all-inclusive, family-friendly resorts in Ixtapa to charming, owner-run boutique hotels in Zihuatanejo's downtown, with a good selection of mid-range options offering excellent value along the bay.
