First time visitor!

Hilton is a good location. If you don’t mind walking some hills, lots of good eats are a 10-15 minute walk away. Every trip even if we are staying in Ixtapa, we get mole sandwiches for breakfast at Bolillos Doña Mary. It’s just a little street stand on plaza kioto (traffic circle), if you like spicy add chili and salsa. A couple of short blocks further you can get an authentic breakfast or lunch at Fonda Doña Licha. Near Doña Licha on the other side of the street is Los de Cochinita, shredded Yucatán pork also open for breakfast or lunch. For tacos at night we like Pastorcito and Papas Locas. For tacos 24/7 there is La Flechita, sometimes my wife cannot wait until dinner for tacos. Best family Italian restaurant is La Porteña on playa principal, Rob always brags about this restaurant for a reason. If your kid is jonesing for a hamburger, give Rubens a try.

The best excursion I could recommend is fishing with Ramon Olea. When I take the wife and another family with a 10 year old we don’t make it all about fishing. We met at the pier at 7:00 and fish to 10:00 making our way over to Isla Ixtapa. You can have your catch cooked or order off the menu. Great place for a safe relaxing swim and just to hang out. You can walk across the other side of the island to coral beach were there are all kinds of fish to see when you are just wading in the ocean. Your wife can even get a massage there. When you had enough you can fish back to Zihuatanejo or just head back at a faster pace. https://www.zihuatanejo.net/oleaje/

June is a slow time of year here and it may rain. We did come last June and will again this year. Zihuatanejo is a good choice over Cabo or Cancun, you may actually see Mexico here. Have a great trip.
