Where to stay in Zihuatanejo

 #LifeAtExpedia

Beautiful place to have dinner and stay for sunset. There is a small restaurant that serves amazing fresh fish and very good drinks. Family friendly.

Travel tip: bring a small sketch book to capture ideas or inspiration from your travel. Write down food you like, ingredients or even a recipe. Names of people you meet. Ideas that come up. When you get back home, this will help bring back the feeling of connection to other places and cultures.

Serene Sunset
The golden glow of the setting sun highlights the many sail boats in Zihuatanejo Bay.  Thus week is Zihua Sailfest, where the boats come once a year and offer sail and music cruises for donations to local schools.  Last night was the Sail Parade to Ixtapa and back, this week Music and Sunset cruises.
All proceeds go to the schools and they hope to beat last years $7,000 donation.

We love the fishing! View of the ocean! Walking everywhere! Lots of taxis and friendly people. Fresh cooked seafood! Best combinations for a small seaport but big enough with a lot to do.
