We stayed in zihuatanejo, for the week and heard about crocodiles that were in ixtapa, so we rented a scooter from a place in zihua next to "zorros bar" (the ONLY scooter rental ) scooter trip was 30 minutes of jungle scenery and once we got to ixtapa it was quite a sight. no sleepy fishing village, this was a different vibe entirely. a long line of luxury high rise hotels lined the beach (we never saw the beaches in front of the hotels, as we were not hotel patrons...) if this is your style of vacation spot, it will not disappoint. crocodile sight seeing is up the road from this big stretch of $$ hotels, and is free, for a reason. you do see crocodiles, they are all over. they also dont move much and we couldnt find times for anything like feeding where we might better see some movement. beware the taco and food shack vendors waiving you in off the street, they are aggressive! one waived me in, then tried to get me to park in front of his shack, telling me i couldnt park where i wanted. i parked where i wanted and nothing happened. they are all there trying to get by so i understand the desperation, just beware and maybe you wont be as shaken by it as we were. we did find a tine spot of a cove beach to check out, but nearby the fresh water river so the water was brown. still a beautiful spot, a great scenic drive, and im sure the ixtapa main drag hotels have better beaches than the one we saw.

This was a great bike ride through lots of trees and nature. We saw a crocodile basking in the sun. It's paved, some shaded areas and some small inclines. It's a nice ride! Our tour guide, Elouise, was great! She is very friendly, speaks english well and you can tell she loves her job. She went above and beyond to capture great moments of our adventure and educated us on some Mexican traditions. We also saw a beautiful beach and had delicious tacos. It was a fun day in Ixtapa. We will definitely hire her again when we return.
