I spend 12 weeks a year in Ixtapa
Things haven’t changed, some minor crime attempts by punks.
They are everywhere on our planet.

I been coming to Zihua for 30 years, we own a condo in Ixtapa and spend about 5 months here . We go to Z for shopping and some eating, but prefer the cleaner and safer environment in Ixtapa. You will be FINE. Over the years I would rank the risk right now much lower than other years.

The area is no less safe than when you were here last. The only real change is that news coverage is more prevalent. And I believe you meant to say Barra de Potosi, because Barra de Navidad is 60 km north of Manzanillo which is in another state.

Its still all good and beautiful!

Good days

We've been coming to Zihua for 20 years, built a house there 15 years ago and come down twice a year for 3 weeks. We've been to Ixtapa a few times, but prefer a real city to a resort. There is some gang activity, but it typically doesn't involve visitors. We try to behave responsibly, i.e. stay out of the non-touristy area after dark, don't stumble around drunk, be respectful to the locals, don't withdraw cash from ATMs after dark, etc. Tamales y Atoles Any is one of our favorite restaurants. For lunch I'd suggest El Manglar, at the far end of La Ropa. (Closed on Wednesdays). One can enjoy the wildlife there, including crocodiles. Have a great time!
