If\u00a0that\u00a0smile isn&#8217;t enough to lure you in to her eponymous restaurant,\u00a0<strong>Carmelita&#8217;s Caf\u00e9<\/strong>, then the smell of fresh tortillas cooking on the griddle will. The best breakfast spot in town,\u00a0tales of her flavorful, authentic cooking have attracted locals, tourists and even celebrity chefs like Michael Symon and Marcus Samuelsson. Try her freshly baked sweet pastries,\u00a0amazing\u00a0tamales and savory Huevos a la Pasilla.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Now roll yourself on over to\u00a0<strong>Playa Principal<\/strong>, the main beach in Zihuatanejo, for a little post-breakfast siesta and swim.\u00a0Near many of the shops and market areas, this beach hums with activity. There are plenty of palms trees around, so plop yourself down in the shade\u00a0and observe the beach-life in motion around you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When you&#8217;re ready to get up and wander, head to the\u00a0<strong>fish market<\/strong>\u00a0on the section of the beach where all the white, wooden fishermen boats are pulled ashore. Here, the fisherman\u00a0lay out\u00a0their fresh catch on tarps across the sand and sell to everyone from restaurants chefs to residents looking for a nice tuna, dorado, or marlin (if you&#8217;re lucky!) for the night&#8217;s dinner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You could spend all afternoon at\u00a0Playa Principal, but come evening,\u00a0stroll\u00a0on over to <strong>Angustina&#8217;s<\/strong>, the coolest bar and\u00a0kitchen\u00a0in town. Mezcal is the focus here, and they infuse it into everything from fresh crudo dishes to their famous\u00a0cocktails. On weekends,\u00a0live music plays and the\u00a0dancing, mezcal-filled crowd spills out onto the Zihuatanejo streets.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>DAY\u00a02<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Get up early because you&#8217;re going to spend themorning loungingaround on the peaceful Playa Las Gatas. First though, swing by <strong>Loot<\/strong> for some fresh ground coffee. Exuding\u00a0a part-hipster, part-surfer\u00a0vibe,\u00a0Loot is more than just a coffee shop. The creative, open-air space features a boutique and seating area on the first floor, an art gallery and barber shop on the second level, and chic new restaurant on the rooftop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">With iced coffee and maybe some new surf-wear in hand, you&#8217;re ready to\u00a0hop\u00a0on a quick boat ride over to\u00a0<strong>Playa Las Gatas<\/strong>.\u00a0The waters are calm at this\u00a0more remote\u00a0beach, with relatively no waves due to the positioning of a coral reef a few\u00a0hundred feet offshore. Beyond serving as a great barrier, the vibrant reef allows for\u00a0some awesome\u00a0snorkeling or scuba diving.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_49933\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49933\" class=\"wp-image-49933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9993.jpg\" alt=\"IxtapaZihuatanejo-Mexico_CompassAndTwine\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9993.jpg 4707w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9993-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9993-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9993-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9993-1250x833.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_9993-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-49933\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spa at Capella Ixtapa<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Relaxation is the name of the game today.

This cliffside hotel\u00a0is simply stunning, and the views of the Pacific from your indoor (or outdoor) treatment room will blow you away. You&#8217;ll find out\u00a0why Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler has awarded this place the &#8220;#1\u00a0Spa in Mexico and Central America&#8221; multiple\u00a0times.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">With the amazing views Capella has to offer,you might as well stick around for dinner.\u00a0Dine outdoors at their terrace restaurant, <strong>Mares<\/strong>,\u00a0where you can\u00a0choose your\u00a0own fish\u00a0from\u00a0fresh catch laid out on ice.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>DAY 3<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It&#8217;s time for a little shopping on your last day.

Over on La Ropa beach, snag a table in the sand at <strong>La Perla<\/strong>. Francisco and his family have been running the beachside cafe for decades, and it&#8217;s the best place to try the local dish, tiritas. Similar to ceviche,\u00a0fresh marlin is marinated with lime juice and red onion, then seasoned and served.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>La Ropa Beach<\/strong> is our favorite in all of Ixtapa-Zihuatanajo. While a couple of\u00a0hotels are set along this shoreline, it\u2019s not overly touristy and\u00a0exudes a fun, relaxed vibe.\u00a0The views\u00a0of the surrounding town and rugged coastline are stunning, and the\u00a0deep turquoise water is pretty unbeatable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Since it&#8217;s your last day, treat yourself to a special dinner. Just steps down La Rope beach, you&#8217;ll find another favorite luxury hotel\u00a0to\u00a0the area, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo-Hotels-Viceroy-Zihuatanejo.h530278.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Viceroy Zihuatanejo<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0At their beachfront restaurant, La Marea, dine on fresh seafood under the stars.
