This Zihuatanejo Home Site and its links to nearby sister vacation destinations of Ixtapa, Troncones and Barra de Potosi is offered to readers as a complete, comprehensive directory travel guide to these resort areas.

All of these beach resorts are located on the Pacific Coast of Mexico in the State of Guerrero commonly known as the Costa Grande, or the Mexican Riviera.

All are within an easy drive of each other, accessible by car, taxi or bus and are serviced by the same International Airport of Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo.

Ixtapa is a government-planned tourist resort that was begun in the early 1970s and constructed on what was once a coconut plantation and mangrove estuary.

In 1968, the Bank of Mexico created a special fund for the creation of new tourist destinations on the country's coastlines. The development of Ixtapa was supported by a loan from the World Bank.

Ixtapa Offers over five thousand hotel rooms and villas for you to choose from. Many hotels and resorts offer All-Inclusive packages to bring additional benefits at a lower cost to their guests.
