Zihuatanejo is pronounce it "zee-watt-a-NEH-ho" which means "place of woman" in the nahuatl tongue. Ixtapa is pronounce it as "eeks-TAH-pa", which means "the white place" in the same tongue.
Ixtapa is a modern, world-class resort that was created from the ground-up in 1968. Ixtapa has many four and five-star hotels. The hotels strip is about 2 miles long and the Ixtapa beach is called El Palmar. Here, you can partake on all the water sports, including surfing.
Zihuatanejo is a small town with the friendly atmosphere of an old Mexican fishing village. The downtown streets are still cobblestones paved and most of the buildings have that tropical-coastal look.
