The town of Zihuatenejo, lovingly called Zihua by many residents, is often overshadowed by the opulence of Ixtapa. If Disneyland is what
you’re looking for, then Ixtapa is your place. Every square inch is covered in
fancy condos, where well-dressed people lick gold flake popsicles and wave their
hands at waiters from cushioned beach chairs. Ixtapa was created by the Mexican
tourism board, like Cancun, to bring in the dough - and that it does.
