hotels

The Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa area offers a myriad of hotel options ranging from luxury all-inclusive resorts, high-rise hotels, boutique hotels, budget lodging, and small family-owned "casas de huespedes." For the adventurous, you can often arrive without reservations and find a clean, inexpensive room upon your arrival (Isahrai did this her first time here). For higher-end hotels and during the Christmas and Easter holidays, recommendations are highly recommended.
