Default OMG I booked a trip to Ixtapa! Anyone been there?

Well, I've been feeling the winter blues...sooooo I happened across a CRAZY seat sale and spontaneously booked a family trip to Ixtapa! Never been there before and wondering if anyone has any advice or recommendations on the place.
We are staying at Zihuatanejo and have booked at a quaint little condo resort.
This isn't exactly going to be a "relaxing" trip per se as we are travelling with my kids (3 1/2 and 5yrs) but I did convince Grandma to come so I hope to sneak in a siesta or 2 in the week. (Fingers crossed on that one)

Ahhhh...OMG kinda freakin! So excited! Now I am gonna have to hit the gym like EVERY day for power workouts since I have to get in a bathing suit!

Thanks Lisa. I am very much in need of some "stress-relief" so I am looking forward to the escape.

Never been to the western side of Mexico, so no suggestions from me other than "Have a great and well deserved vacation."

im assuming this is the ixtapa right next to puerto vallarta? ive been twice... gorgeous little town, really nice waterfront. diving isnt great though so be wary if you plan on going.

Was there on the day of the dead which was rad... hope its as much fun without the festivities.

Carmen,

I don't think that you need to do anything to fit in a swimsuit, girl
That is sooooo exciting! You will love it.
