1.0 out of 5 stars Not the best selection for Ixtapa, February 8, 2004
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought this book to find out information on Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo. Unfortunately, only about 20 pages of the book is dedicated to these 2 locations, and the information is very limited. However, if you are looking for information on Acapulco, you may be in luck, there are about 80 pages on that location. If you are looking for information on Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, check out Lonely Planet's, "Mexico's Pacific Coast", much more infomation can be found in there.
