About WeHeartZihua's Area Directory

- The WeHeartZihua Area Directory is not a comprehensive guide to all of the Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa-Troncones area but rather is a look at what makes us "heart Zihua." Our listings feature both travel guide-style information and our own subjective notes, advice on what mustn't be missed, consumer tips to avoid annoyances & pitfalls, and (now!) photos.
- To browse the directory, choose any of the subcategories in the menu above or you can use our search feature (found on every page of the directory) to find specific venues and types of activities.
icons - For quick reference, our collection of icons help to sort out clientele base, hours, proximity to downtown Zihua, and other pertinent information. CLICK HERE for a full explanation of our icon usage.
- Don't you just hate it when you go to a travel site and don't know how accurate the information is? We do, too. That's why all of our entries are dated according to our lastest revision so you can know just how fresh the listing is. Also, our listings are bylined so you can know which of the editors to blame thank.
- Think we forgot something? Feel free to add your own 2 pesos with a comment on any of our listings pages. If we've made a mistake or need to update one of our entries, please use our corrections form to let us know.

Meanwhile, we've kept "hearting" Zihua and we really enjoy getting feedback and questions via email for people who have found our website to be useful, no matter how infrequently updated!
