Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo for hotel guests
Ixtapa is the planned resort strip built in the 1970s: towers along Playa El Palmar, a golf course, a marina and a boulevard lined with shopping plazas. Zihuatanejo is the fishing town that was always there, with its market, the Paseo del Pescador waterfront and the sheltered bays of La Madera and La Ropa, where the small view hotels sit. Our 2026 scans logged 18 hotels with a real price: from US$24 a night and a typical rate of about US$123, a small inventory skewed by all-inclusives. Heat and humidity are year-round facts.

Mini fridge in rooms would be nice!
Not a fancy hotel but so clean and well cared for. Location couldn't be better. View is spectacular. Pools are wonderful. Fully booked but still so quiet and not crowded. No elevator and lots of stairs, so be warned if you have mobility issues
Great hotel. Great location. Great staff. Quiet and relaxing. We had a really great stay. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
Planning your trip to Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo
When to go
The dry season runs November to May and the high season December to April: days of 30-32°C, calm water inside the bays and almost no rain. The peaks are Christmas, New Year and Holy Week, when Zihuatanejo fills with Mexican families and Ixtapa's rates climb sharply. For those dates you book months out, not weeks.
June to October brings rain, usually late afternoon or overnight, and humidity that never lets up. It is cyclone season on the Pacific, with September and October the most exposed months; serious storms are rare, but weather can write off two days in a row. It is also when the year's lowest rates appear.
The honest caveat is the humidity rather than the thermometer: nights barely cool down and air conditioning is not a luxury. November and early December are the rounded months — dry, uncrowded, prices still reasonable. Between December and March, humpback whales pass in front of the bay, which is a genuine bonus rather than a marketing line.
Getting there and around
The international airport sits about 12 km southeast of Zihuatanejo, just off Highway 200. It handles domestic flights year-round plus a decent run of seasonal routes from the US and Canada between December and April. An authorised taxi into Zihuatanejo runs around MX$400 and a bit more to Ixtapa; shared vans cost considerably less.
Overland, the Siglo XXI toll road reaches Morelia in about four hours and Federal 200 links to Lázaro Cárdenas in just over one. Buses from Mexico City take eight to nine hours. Acapulco is roughly four hours down the 200 — a stretch worth driving in daylight, without improvised stops along the way.
The seven kilometres between the two halves are covered by minibuses leaving every few minutes for something like MX$15, a twenty-minute ride. Taxis have no meters: settle the price before you get in, usually in the MX$150-200 range between the two centres. Boats to Playa Las Gatas leave from the town pier; boats to Isla Ixtapa leave from Playa Linda.
Where to stay, zone by zone
Ixtapa is a purpose-built resort zone: a row of towers along Playa El Palmar, with a golf course, a boulevard and shopping plazas behind. It is comfortable, predictable and very family-friendly, and it holds the all-inclusives that push our median upward. Mind the sea, though: El Palmar is open ocean, with surf and currents, and swimming is not always on.
Downtown Zihuatanejo is the opposite: narrow streets, a working municipal market, the waterfront promenade and small hotels of two or three floors. This is where the cheap end of our range lives, including the simplest rooms near the bottom. In exchange you get street noise, few pools and real heat — check for air conditioning before you book.
La Madera and La Ropa are the sheltered bays southeast of the centre, and for many people the best compromise: small hotels, bungalows and terraces with a view, ten to twenty minutes on foot from the malecón. La Ropa is the best swimming beach and the priciest address. In La Madera, ask how many steps and slopes stand between you and the sand.
If you want something else entirely, Troncones (around 30 km northwest) and Barra de Potosí (around 25 km southeast) offer far quieter beach lodging — surf at one, a bird-filled lagoon at the other. Both need a car or an expensive taxi and leave you far from restaurants and medical services. They are destinations, not bases for day trips into town.
Eating and going out
The local speciality is tiritas: thin strips of raw fish cured in lime with onion and serrano chilli, invented on this coast. Add pescado a la talla, split open and grilled over coals, and Guerrero's green pozole, traditionally eaten on Thursdays. Zihuatanejo's municipal market is the best cheap breakfast in the destination, and it starts early.
Eating at the palapa restaurants on Playa La Ropa, feet more or less in the sand, is the classic plan and costs more than it looks — whole fish is priced by weight, so ask first. Downtown Zihuatanejo has genuinely cheap kitchens, with set lunches in the MX$120-180 range and neighbourhood seafood places at sensible prices.
Ixtapa eats inside its hotels and along the boulevard: pricier, more predictable, English menus throughout. Nightlife is modest — a handful of bars and not much else — and bears no resemblance to Acapulco. If you want an evening out with some town atmosphere rather than resort atmosphere, take the minibus into Zihuatanejo.
Booking well
Our 2026 scans logged 18 hotels with a real price: from US$24 a night and a median of about US$123. The gap between those two numbers is the destination in miniature — a small inventory split between downtown Zihuatanejo guesthouses and Ixtapa resorts, with little in between. Choosing a zone here is choosing a budget.
For Christmas, New Year and Holy Week, book two or three months ahead; a small inventory empties fast, and the rooms with a view go first. Travelling between June and October, take a cancellable rate: a distant cyclone is enough to rearrange your week, and in low season flexibility costs almost nothing.
Before you pay, confirm whether an Ixtapa rate is room-only or all-inclusive, because that single detail reshapes the whole budget. In La Madera and La Ropa, check the real walking distance to the sand and confirm air conditioning rather than a ceiling fan. And if you land after dark, arrange the airport transfer in advance instead of negotiating at arrivals.
