We stayed on the hill over looking the bay and it is one of the most beautiful views you can have. The sunsets over the bay are just spectacular as you look out to the Pacific ocean. Not to be missed.

One of the nicest views ever! You'll never tire of looking out around the bay. With the town of Zihuatanejo at one end and Playa Los Gatos at the other.

We are Club Intrawest members and so this is a great place to get some sun and relax after a week skiing in Whistler. Easy flights from Vancouver to Ixtapa with Alaskan. This is our second visit from the UK and we really love its relaxed atmosphere. Great to walk along the beach which is pretty clean and safe. The... More

They have other cruise schedules, that take you for a longer period of time. I took the Sunset Cruise on the evening of Spring Equinox. Captain Tony is awesome. He points out things of interest. Open free bar! Lots of margaritas. And a nice chicken skewer snack with chips and guacamole, and rice. The Picante. Well worth the ticket. Beautiful... More

wonderful bay take in the sailboats , the pangas and the motor launches. Beatiful from dawn to dusk. Sandy beaches as La Ropa, Las Gatas. I would avoid Madera Beach and do not swim at the Municipal beach in Zihua. Panga to LAs Gatas is a great way to get a view of the town from the bay.

This little fishing village is so warm and inviting! The people are lovely and food/shopping wonderful. On Sunday nights families show up by the tennis courts for good local food and lots of bands and merriment! Such a lovely place!

I like the walkway around all the little beaches joining playa principal to playa de madera, being on a beach, it still reminds me of the little village I visited 20 years ago.
