Zihua

Hola
Ixtapa was not my cup of tea. It was too pompus for me. Once I started venturing to Zihua, it fit my personal lifestyle. A little more laid back.

As a 29 year veteran of the area who has stayed everywhere, I find it crazy that someone would bash one area over the other. I am not sure I could be any more laid back on my 7th floor balcony in Ixtapa within 30 feet of putting my feet on Playa Palmar.

However maybe I would like my 1st or second floor place in Z with no ocean breeze and swatting mosquitos. Not with out wondering that after a walk on any beach in the bay I might have some type of nasty red rash. {Madera, La Ropa, Princiipal}

POMPOUS is as pompous does...............

While I love Ixtapa, I find your absurd description of Zihuatanejo to be high on bias and short on facts. I live in a 2-story home. Practically a historic landmark. Surrounded by friends and family. Within easy walking distance of most stores and restaurants we care to do business with. There usually is a nice breeze in the afternoons with the heat rising over the hills drawing in the cooler air from the ocean. Makes for terrific sleeping weather. Haven't hardly seen a mosquito in months. While we wouldn't hesitate to live in our Ixtapa home in Las Garzas, a single level home where mosquitos are much more abundant because of the jungle that makes up our yard and the surrounding woodlands, that's what screens and skeeter tweeters (coils) are for. But Ixtapa does seem boring after Zihuatanejo, which is the center of the community for the region. However I love them both for what they are. Zihuatanejo's major pollution problems are behind it. The rebuilt treatment plant seems to be working fine. At least we can swim in Zihuatanejo Bay without fear of riptides and undertows. Haven't seen a shark in the bay in decades. So please don't crow praise for Ixtapa at the expense of Zihuatanejo. They both have much going for them, IMHO.

Fact....You have no clue as to what a sea breeze is. For the last two years in a row for two weeks I watched your house from the deck of Hotel Suzie where I staid. You have ZERO wind compared to my location.

Fact anything up to about 5th floor needs screens for MOSQUITOS I run my doors wide open 24 hours a day 7th floor Ixtapa.

FACT Do you want me to re-publish the pollution reports for Z-bay?

FACT ANOTHER pompous person should of kept quiet.

FACT Enjoy your location don't bitch about mine and like my mother said....If you don't have anything good to say keep your mouth shut.
