Originally known as New Zihuatanejo, this tourist enclave forms part of the Triangle of the Sun (Acapulco, Zihuatanejo, Taxco). It was renamed Ixtapa, which means ‘white place’ in the native language. The name is very accurate for a set of all inclusive hotels and resorts in Ixtapa which are located on the beach front next to the fine white sand and stunning Pacific coastline.

The ocean is the undisputed star of the show for an All Inclusive holiday in Ixtapa. The mountain range that surrounds the second largest tourist city in the state of Guerrero, after Acapulco, descends towards an astonishing marina offering a range of first class accommodation. The All Inclusive hotels and resorts in Ixtapa are situated along the coast following a long modern boulevard of almost five kilometres, built on old coconut plantations that continue to be a symbol of Palmar beach.

Visitors from all over the world find, in this bay, a safe and family-friendly environment, with the peace and natural charm they are looking for. This is the optimum place to practice water sports such as windsurfing and jet skiing, fishing for sailfish, snapper, and black marlin or to enjoy a day of golf at any of the excellent courses that surround the bay, including the Marina Ixtapa Náutica Golf Club and Palma Real. Another great attraction is the chance to swim with dolphins and to get to know these amazing creatures close up.

In the evening, El Palmar transforms into the destination for travellers who do not want to miss the opportunity to watch the blazing sky descend into the waters of the bay. The spectacular view at the end of an intense day of leisure activities can be completed with a delicious dinner and one of the many entertainment options offered by the hotels at sunset.

Those seeking exclusivity as well as tranquility and quality will find the most luxurious and elegant option in the Barceló Ixtapa All Inclusive hotel, a 5-star establishment located in the heart of the bay with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean.

It’s no surprise that may couples choose this idyllic setting as the backdrop for their dream wedding. The hotel provides a personalised service that will oversee the management of your event. They will look after all your important questions such as catering for the celebration, entertainment during the banquet and accommodation for the bride and groom as well as their guests, who can also enjoy their dream All inclusive holiday.

But you don’t need to wait for a large celebration to discover all the advantages of the All inclusive resorts in Ixtapa, since this type of holiday package already includes a varied culinary offering, bar service by the swimming pools, live music shows and organised excursions to the most outstanding locations in the region. One option to enjoy luxury while your body bronzes beneath the sun and your mind relaxes by the bay’s crystalline waters.
