Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, Mexico
Azul Ixtapa Grand
Azul Ixtapa Grand is an independent, all-inclusive timeshare resort set on the beach in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, on Mexico's Guerrero coast. With three outdoor pools, seven restaurants and a spa, it's built for owners who want a straightforward beach week without the overhead of a big resort brand. Here's what to know if you own a week here and are weighing up a resale or rental, or if you're a buyer weighing up the resort.
The Resort & Its Setting
Azul Ixtapa Grand sits directly on the beach in Zona Hotelera II, the resort strip of Ixtapa, with Google reviewers (4.5/5 from over 15,000 ratings) consistently flagging the three outdoor pools, seven on-site restaurants and full-service spa as the draw. It's an all-inclusive, independent property — not part of a major international timeshare chain — which tends to mean a more personal management style and ownership terms set by the resort itself rather than a corporate head office.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo: The Area
Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo are really two towns in one. Ixtapa is the purpose-built resort zone — manicured hotel strip, golf courses, marina — while Zihuatanejo, a short drive away, is the original fishing village, with Playa Principal, old-town restaurants and a laid-back, working harbour feel. Owners at Azul Ixtapa Grand get both within easy reach: Punta Ixtapa's coastal viewpoints and the Ixtapa golf courses on one side, Zihuatanejo's Playa Principal and its small archaeological sites on the other, plus boat trips out to Ixtapa Island for snorkelling. It's a genuinely dual-character destination, which is part of why it keeps drawing repeat visitors.
Selling or Renting a Week Here
If you own a week at Azul Ixtapa Grand and are ready to move it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get the ad live.
Because Azul Ixtapa Grand is an independent resort rather than part of a branded chain, resales here are handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management, not a national transfer desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm two things directly with the resort: the current transfer fee for changing the name on the deed or contract, and the annual maintenance fee the new owner will be responsible for. These figures vary by resort and can change, so always get written confirmation from Azul Ixtapa Grand's management rather than relying on a quoted price from elsewhere.
A resale buyer typically takes on the usage rights tied to the week or unit being sold (and whatever season or room category the original contract specifies), along with the obligation to pay future annual fees. They do not automatically inherit any promotional perks, upgrades or incentives the original purchaser may have received when buying directly from the resort — only what's written into the contract itself transfers.
If you'd rather rent out your week than sell it outright, the same listing approach applies: describe the unit, the dates, and what's included (all-inclusive meals, pool and beach access), and handle enquiries directly with renters through the platform.
Practical Notes for Owners and Renters
Renters and buyers researching Azul Ixtapa Grand tend to ask about proximity to the beach, which meals and restaurants are included in the all-inclusive package, and how far the resort is from Zihuatanejo's old town for an evening out. Being specific about unit size, floor, view and exact week number in a listing helps buyers and renters compare properties more easily.
Getting There
The resort is served by Ixtapa Zihuatanejo International Airport (ZIH), which takes flights from major Mexican cities and a handful of international routes. From the airport it's a short taxi or rental car journey to the resort in Zona Hotelera II.

Travel Tips
Fly into Ixtapa Zihuatanejo International Airport (ZIH), just a short drive from the resort. Hurricane season runs June to October, so many owners prefer travelling November to May for drier, calmer weather. A rental car makes it easy to split time between Ixtapa's resort strip and Zihuatanejo's old town, though taxis and colectivos cover the route well too. Spanish is the main language locally, though tourist areas are used to English and US dollars alongside pesos.
