2.0 out of 5 stars Get Moon's Instead, March 5, 2009

This review is from: Frommer's Portable Acapulco, Ixtapa & Zihuatanejo (Paperback)

I bought this book for our trip to Ixtapa, and I would describe it as a 'waste of paper'. There are only about 25 pages devoted to Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, and the rest is Acupulco and very generic Mexico information.

I was so disappointed that I ordered a different book, Moon's 'Acupulco, Ixtapa and Zihuatanajo'. That book arrived yesterday, and it is SO much better!

Wish there was more info on Ixtapa and Zihuat. Only 23 of the 170 pages covers this area.

This review is from: Frommer's Portable Acapulco, Ixtapa & Zihuatanejo (Paperback)

There is nothing to do in Zihuatenejo. Do not bother getting this book. of the 6 restaraunts worth visiting your hotel if decent will know them all. I am a big frommers fan but if your going to zihua, then jsut go and chill and relax. cuz there is nothing else to do.
