Zihuatanejo, Mexico
Staying at Casa d'Arte offers you access to both the provincial town of Zihuatanejo and the modern resort of Ixtapa just 5 miles away. The majestic Sierra Madre mountains surround the two towns and there are almost a dozen peaceful beaches where ou can plant your beach towel. Zihuatanejo is certainly no longer the small fishing village it once was but it is still an authentically Mexican town.
