For a beautiful beach vacation in mexico without a big price tag, head to the Sotavento Beach Resort located in Zihuatanejo right on La Ropa Beach.

When visiting Zihuatanejo, you can enjoy the laid back old school beach town appeal, and then travel to neighboring sister city Ixtapa when you are in the mood for more hustle, bustle and nightlife. Because of the close proximity and distinct differences between the two cities, you can get the best of both worlds. Zihuatanejo and Ixtapa are on the southwestern Pacific coast just a two hour flight from Los Angeles.

The Sotavento Beach Resort features 91 rooms – 68 large suites and 23 guest rooms with ocean views. The rates are reasonable and include breakfast each morning of your stay. The resort is walking distance from the genuine fishing village of Zihuatanejo, where you can enjoy deep sea fishing with the locals. You can also take part in plenty of other activities, including scuba diving, hiking and more. Room rates range from $65-95 in low season, $70-$110 in mid season and $70-$185 in high season.
