October trip questions

Finally making it back after about 5 years of really bad airfare rates and schedules. Will be at the Azul Grand in Ixtapa for a week at the end of October. It was actually less to stay their than an ocean view condo on La Ropa. Figure that we would do about 4 dinners out with 1 of those being our 25th anniversary, thinking of Tentaciones or Amuleto or any other suggestion. Papa Locas will be another dinner so still have a couple more; Lety's and Don Memos come to mind but would love to hear other suggestions. We have only dinned at Deborah's in Ixtapa for Thanksgiving otherwise no clue where to eat in Ixtapa. My wife will graciously allow me to go fishing a couple of mornings and was wondering if Ramon Oleaje is still out there doing it? We are currently buying back to school supplies so assuming that Lupitas would still be a good place to drop them off. We used to go to the little Humane Society in Zihua and was wondering if it is still around. Any place near the Azul Grand for my wife to get a massage?

Thanks in advance for your help

Lots of great places to eat, but our favorite is Il Mediteranneo, next to the church and the artisans market. Trattoria Giani in back of La Ropa is excellent and reasonably priced.

I believe the captain you are talking about is still fishing. Click my email and send me a message........would not mind splitting a trip? Let me know your dates?

Soleiado in Ixtapa is by far the best restaurant there.

¡Hola Craig! It's good to hear from you again!

Happy 25th anniversary! Lupita and I celebrated ours last year. Another year of being in love is well worth worth celebrating! It's an honor for Zihuatanejo to have you here for your 25th anniversary. Lupita and I wish you many many more.

Yes, Lupita will gladly and humbly receive your donations for our area's needy schoolchildren. We have no shortage of them, though donations have dropped off dramatically these past couple of years.

Ramón Olea is still one of the best local charter captains and you'll be in good hands with him. Maybe you'll find a big school of tuna!

You'll love Deborah's new location right on the boulevard in front of where she was before. She spoiled us recently with her flambeed shrimp! See the map on her website. Deborah's Restaurant

I'll leave the restaurant snobs to argue over who serves the best fare. Lupita and I are so provincial we still consider dining out at Joe's Pizza next to the basketball court on the waterfront to be a romantic evening. Imagine that!

But the Kau-Kan has never disappointed us either.

We look forward to your visit! ¡Bienvenidos!

We love La Malinche for Mexican dishes,
There is usually music, located behind Ruby's Jewellery across from the Holiday Inn (Presidente)

Thanks everyone for all the advice, I have my homework to do now. Completely forgot about Kau Kan as they were known as one of the best when I first came to Zihuatanejo 15 or so years ago. The airlines make it way too easy to get to Cabo and very expensive to come here until Alaska finally lowered their price from LAX as it was running close to a thousand each. This time I got it with the Azul Grand at under a thousand each, hopefully it will stay this way.
