Hi, I am looking for any suggestions regarding where to stay while vacationing this February in Ixtapa. This is a 20th wedding anniversary celebration for my wife and me.
She would prefer an all-inclusive. I would prefer excellent food ( I HATE buffets ). The number #1 priority is peace/relaxation and BEACH space.
I think Costa Rica has something for every budget. The only beach we went to there is Manuel Antonio which we loved -- waves, warm water, not crowded, next to a park teeming with spider monkeys, not too t-shirt-touristy.
If you only gave Costa Rica a quick look, I'd encourage you to check it out a little more. Wish I was there right now.
Have you thought about the Mayan Riviera (Yucatan)
The Yucatan side/Mayan Riviera definitely has the better beaches. The only thing is that the Spring Break crowd will probably be there in February.
Most of the spring breakers settle in around Cancun. Never been myself but, there are supposedly some secluded gems to the south.
