Hotel at a Glance: WorldMark Zihuatanejo

WorldMark Zihuatanejo spans 30 acres of beachfront, extending from lush tropical gardens to the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Despite its scope, the resort has fewer than two dozen guest rooms, which helps to cultivate an intimate setting where everyone gets special attention. In-room massages and gourmet Mexican cuisine are just a couple of the indulgent amenities at your disposal.

• Rave reviews: The hotel received a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence in 2014.
• Mouthwatering Mexican cuisine: Chefs prepare traditional entrees at the onsite Altura Restaurant.
• Pool with a view: The sparkling outdoor pool looks out on the ocean from an elevated ledge surrounded by tropical plants.
• Sun-kissed balconies: You can sip a cocktail on the private balcony for your spacious studio, which has traditional adobe-style walls.

Ixtapa, Mexico: White-Sand Beaches and a Quiet Fishing Town

A popular resort area, Ixtapa lies along the Pacific Ocean on Mexico’s southwest coast on the strip of land known as Costa Grande. Its white-sand beaches and the crystal-clear waters draw in kayakers, snorkelers, and sport fishermen year-round.

About a 20-minute drive south along the coast, the quiet fishing town of Zihuatanejo offers a quiet alternative to Ixtapa. If you’ve seen any of the hourly cable broadcasts of The Shawshank Redemption, you might recall that Tim Robbins’s character, Andy Dufresne, dreams of living as a fisherman in Zihuatanejo. There are plenty of secluded spots to live out his dream along the Paseo del Pescador. Along the livelier fisherman’s boardwalk, there are shops stocked with Cuban cigars, handmade jewelry, and local tequila. There’s usually a musician or two walking the stone streets, too.
