My inlaws had a condo there back in the 80s. We got to go several times, it was a great spot. I doubt I would feel as comfortable there now, but it was a super place for an inexpensive vacation. It was funny because we barely spoke Spanish, and at least back then most of the tourists were not American (mostly wealthy Mexicans) and so we could go days without hearing any English! But, we managed very well in spite of it.

I speak high school Spanish (not very well) but always got along well anywhere we went. We flew Mexicana once from Mexico city to Ixtapa and the flight attendants fired champagne corks down the isle and pour drinks for everybody on the plane. There were about a dozen half-used bottles left when we arrived and we were allowed to take the bottle and little plastic champagne glass off the plane when we arrived.
Our best flying experience was Huatulco to Oaxaca in an Air Liberdat DC-3. Very well maintained craft but we flew very low and slow, through the mountain passes rather than over them.
