NO PIER!

NO cruise ship dock is in Ixtapa.

Then doesn't it make sense to put the cruise chip dock in Ixtapa? I am not trying to be pejorative, but wouldn't the cruise ship kinda' folks be happier in a resort-type town like Ixtapa instead of a more authentic Mexican town like Zihua? (My apologies for any animus that may appear to be leaking out of this post.)

They won't build a cruise ship pier in Ixtapa because too many influyentes have their properties there and it would ruin their precious view, which is basically part of the same position we take in Zihuatanejo. Plus it would make a large section of the beach unswimmable.

Oh, for Christ's sake............

The Reason: It would be impossible to put a cruise ship dock in Ixtapa because it is the open ocean, and it would get pounded to bits.
