Nice article about Zihuatanejo!

Tim, sorry you feel that way but in reality she hit the essence of what Ixtapa is right on the nose. She also got the Yellow fin thing wrong, and was a little condescending by staying at the Intrawest and them taking a shot a the Ixtapa high rises.

All in all I think she was very fair and objective and probably made some people look harder at spending some time and dollars in Zihua.

Rob,to a degree perhaps you are right about planning or infrastructure but Zihua is Zihua and Ixtapa is Ixtapa and hopefullythey never ever meet. Actually I wish they were further away. Then Zihua would be what it was years ago with dirt streets and wooden bridges....it's not a perfect world but I'll take Zihua everytime.

Ixtapa is Miami beach south....too tall buildings, to many people starving to make a living, too many taxis, may be pretty for people who come from the hinterlands but not me. I have been to Zihua more times than I have fingers and toes and probably a few more than that.......been to Ixtapa a hand full of times over the years and still not impressed.

So inconclusion, you may have your Ixtapa, enjoy it. For me I'll take my shanksmare trips through the Zihuataneho streets and fonda's and tienda's and restaurants and I'll sit on my beach with feet in the water and my ass in the sand.

Each to his own and each to his means. Is it Novemeber yet?
