Ixtapa Hotel Zone & Playa El Palmar
Zona Hotelera Ixtapa
A resort area planned in the 1970s, with large hotels, a golf course and shopping plazas lining the long Palmar Beach.
Ixtapa is about 8 kilometers from Zihuatanejo. It is a resort area planned by the Mexican government. Palmar Beach is about 3 kilometers long and lined with large all-inclusive hotels. Activities include paragliding, banana boat rides and jet skiing. Across the road, the shopping area has restaurants and bars, and its nightlife is livelier than in Zihuatanejo. Waves offshore can be strong, so pay attention to beach flags. Buses and a bike path connect the two towns.
