What is it that you want out of your Mexican vacation? Are
you looking to relax? To learn about ancient cultures? To
party? To have such an action-packed vacation that you'll
need a couple days to recoup when you return home? Whatever
it is, it's guaranteed that you'll be able to enjoy your
ideal Mexican vacation if you choose to vacation on Mexico's
Pacific coast!
"Where should I go when I visit Mexico's Pacific coast?"
you say. Glad you asked!
The Mexican Pacific coast has so many great locations.
There's Mazatlan Cabo San Lucas, Puerta Vallarta, Ixtapa
and, of course, Acapulco! All of the locations have
beautiful beaches and you're bound to find great umbrella
drinks at all those places too but there's so much more to
each of these Mexican vacation destinations. Here's a look
at just some of the things you might consider doing:
Cabo San Lucas
New resorts keep popping up in Cabo San Lucas but the town
still maintains it's old world charm. Those looking for fine
dining, boating and clear, calm waters for taking a dip in
the ocean or boating will love Cabo San Lucas. This area of
Mexico's Pacific coast is a well-kept secret so it's not
overcrowded with tourists yet. It's a great place to visit
and if you're thinking about a Mexican vacation rental, Cabo
San Lucas is a prime location. For a Mexican vacation more
heavily trafficked by tourists though, head towards San Jose
el Cabo. You'll find plenty of resorts and much more tourist
action.
Mazatlan
If you decide you want a Mexican vacation that's "out of
the ordinary," Mazatlan is the perfect place to visit.
Mazatlan has premium golf courses and some of the best
ecotourism attractions on Mexico's Pacific coast. Plus, if
you've ever wanted to give fishing a try and have the odds
in your favor of being successful in catching something,
Mazatlan is where you want to be; the city is situated right
where the Sea of Cortes and the Pacific Ocean connect so
it's a natural basin where Mahi-Mahi, Tuna, Marlin,
Swordfish, and more are plentiful.
Ixtapa
What's unique about Ixtapa is that it's a Mexican vacation
that will make you feel like you've actually gotten away
from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. There are
luxurious hotels where you'll have everything you need at
your fingertips and can be pampered to the hilt but there
are also cozy inns that are designed to make you feel like
you're comfortably tucked away in paradise. It's a slower
pace than some of the other popular Mexican vacation rental
locations. Very serene. You can, of course, enjoy the beach
but there is also great golfing, excellent gourmet dining,
and some of the best diving on the Mexican Riviera. The
nearby fishing village of Zihuatanejo and the low-key
beaches of Troncones are great places to visit if you decide
to explore beyond the city limits of Ixtapa.
Acapulco
In a way, there are two Acapulcos. There is a lively side
and a tranquil side of the popular Mexican vacation
destination. The tranquil part of the city happens inside
the walls of the resorts. The beaches are beautiful,
parasailing and banana boat rides are a blast, and the shows
and events (which most resorts put on for their guests) are
highly entertaining. You could spend your entire Mexican
vacation at your resort and have a wonderful time but on the
days you're in the mood for a taste of urban Mexico, just
venture outside of the resort. That city moves! Restaurants,
discos, and duty-free shops line the streets and are in
walking distance; a little dinero for a cab ride will get
you to and from a number of wild adventure tours. There's
certainly no shortage of things to do in Acapulco.
As you can see, there's plenty of fun in the sun to be had
no matter where you go on Mexico's Pacific coast. So, have
you decided where you want to go yet? If not, don't worry.
Just plan four trips! Each of the locations above has great
resorts for which you can find great vacation packages but
you should also consider checking into Mexican vacation
rentals in the different areas. A number of the Mexico
vacation rental companies offer exceptional deals year
round, even during the peak seasons when other places are
increasing rates by 25% or more.
