Carmen, there is decent snorkeling in Zihuatenejo. There is a small, shallow reef running parallel to the beach that has quite a few different species of fishes. Not much for corals though. The jungle grows right down to the beach, and it is quite humid; Will take you a few days to get used to it. I only spent 8 hours there as it was one of the stops on our cruise 2 years ago. Small and friendly with a nice beach. As for Ixtapa, I know nothing about it as we didn't go into it.
