Loma Del Mar

The Resort & Its Setting

Loma Del Mar is an independently run timeshare resort affiliated with RCI, located in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, one of two sister towns on Guerrero's Pacific coast. Ownership here is structured as a vacation club, with weeks that can be used directly at the resort or exchanged through RCI for stays at other affiliated properties worldwide. The resort's location gives owners a base from which to move between Ixtapa's contemporary hotel strip and Zihuatanejo's older, more low-key beach-town atmosphere.

Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo: The Area and Things to Do

Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo sit a short distance apart but feel like two different places. Zihuatanejo retains its identity as a working fishing town, with Playa Principal and its pier right in the centre, seafood restaurants along the sand, and a historic downtown of colonial-style streets, markets and galleries. Ixtapa, by contrast, is built around a modern resort corridor — the Zona Dorada — with international restaurants, shopping, nightlife and a championship golf course. Beach options in the area range from the sheltered waters of Playa Principal to the longer sands and water sports at Playa la Ropa, the snorkelling at the boat-access-only Playa las Gatas, and day trips out to Isla Ixtapa for more beaches and a lighthouse viewpoint. For owners, this variety means a week at Loma Del Mar covers everything from quiet fishing-village mornings to golf and nightlife without changing hotels.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Loma Del Mar and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on a sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to publish their ad, rather than a cut taken after the sale closes.

Because Loma Del Mar is independently operated, resale and transfer go through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a branded resale desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort or its association: the transfer fee charged to move the week into a new owner's name, the current annual maintenance fee, and whether any RCI affiliation or points balance carries over with the transfer. A resale buyer should expect to receive the deeded or contracted usage rights to the week itself; club perks, promotional upgrades or bonus points tied to the original purchase typically do not transfer and should be checked case by case.

Renters, meanwhile, are generally looking for confirmed dates, clarity on what's included in the week (resort unit only, versus any resort amenities), and a straightforward way to contact the owner with questions before booking — all of which a BidMyTimeshare listing is built to provide.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo is served by its own international airport (ZIH), with direct flights from a number of major US cities, making the resort reasonably easy to reach for North American owners without a long connecting journey. Within the destination, taxis and colectivos cover local trips affordably, though a rental car is worth considering if you plan to explore beyond the immediate Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo area. English is widely spoken in tourist-facing businesses, but a little Spanish goes a long way in Zihuatanejo's older town and local markets.

Why Owners Keep or Pass On a Loma Del Mar Week

A week at Loma Del Mar suits owners who want a fixed Pacific-coast beach base with the option to exchange through RCI when their plans change. For those ready to move on, listing the week for sale or rent rather than letting it sit unused is usually the more practical route — and doing so privately keeps more of the proceeds with the seller.
