We are going to Zihuan next week. Besides sitting on the beach, what is there to do that is fun ? <BR> <BR>Also, any good casual, low key restaurants any one would recommend ? <BR> <BR>Thank you.

We went on a country tour -- fruit plantation, tile factory, very remote beach and BBQ lunch; also did a sunset cocktail cruise thru the bays; would recommend the fat mermaid resturant (can't remember the spanish name); if you go to Ixtapa, the Golden Cookie is great for breakfast or lunch, would highly recommend El Faro for dinner - reasonable, good food, excellent view.

There are 2 or 3 casual restaurants on La Ropa beach. Their menu is basically grilled fresh fish, rice and vegetables--simple, but good. Prices are reasonable too. I think the largest is called "Rossy". It's in the middle of La Ropa. The other two are at the far end. Similar menus, prices, etc. <BR> <BR>There is a wonderful small hotel at the Zihua end of La Ropa called La Casa Que Canta ("The House That Sings"). It's restaurant and bar are open to the public after 6:00P.M. It's a great place for a drink and appetizer. Or dinner. (I didn't eat there.) Perhaps more formal than you suggest(no shorts for men, I think, in the restaurant), but I'd still consider it "low key" compared to Ixtapa. <BR> <BR>Another first class hotel on La Ropa is Villa del Sol, which has a very pleasant pavilion-style bar. <BR> <BR>Because it's post-spring break, it will be quiet on La Ropa. <BR>

There are several restaurants on La Ropas beach, even Italian, La Dolce Vita, all casual, VDS being the most expensive. Elviras at north end is good & Las Gaviotas. Also in town, Coconuts & Casa Elvira at the marina. I don't care for fish & I had a huge selection of other entrees, except for Las Palmas, which only served fish.
