Ixtapa Vacation
If you are looking for a new and exciting place to go on vacation, and you love Mexico, why not try an Ixtapa vacation? Ixtapa is located on the Pacific coast approximately 150 miles north of Acapulco. Visitors can get to Ixtapa by flying into nearby Zihuatenejo and taking a taxi for the scenic twenty minute drive. Ixtapa is a relatively new tourist destination in Mexico, when compared to other popular Mexico vacation spots, such as Cancun and Cabo San Lucas. It is a quiet rural fishing village that offers tranquil beaches and modern resort facilities. An Ixtapa vacation is perfect any time of year; the temperatures average from 72 to 86 degrees with over 340 days of sunshine annually.

In addition to its rural charm, not yet overrun by mobs of tourists and corporate development, Ixtapa offers untainted inviting beaches with a variety of water sports, outdoor markets, and wonderful beachfront open air restaurants with the freshest seafood anywhere. There are also many nightclubs to choose from, if this interests you. Zihuatenejo is another place you should explore on your Ixtapa vacation, either by taxi or by bus; this historic fishing village offers experiences you won’t want to miss out on.

Even though Ixtapa is one of the newer Mexican vacation destinations, there are many hotels, resorts, restaurants, and clubs to choose from.

Several travel websites offer airfare and lodging packages at reduced rates, and some even offer all-inclusive packages as well.

Some of these lodgings even have spas and hot tubs for you to enjoy when you’re not out and about exploring Ixtapa and nearby Zihuatenejo.
