Pacífica Grand

The Resort & Setting

Pacífica Grand is an independently run timeshare resort affiliated with RCI, giving owners access to RCI's exchange network alongside their home-resort week. It sits in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, where the purpose-built hotel strip of Ixtapa meets the older fishing-town charm of Zihuatanejo, a short drive away. Ocean-view or oceanfront accommodation is the defining feature of properties along this coast, and Pacífica Grand fits that pattern. For specific unit layouts, floor plans or on-site facilities, prospective buyers should confirm directly with the resort or with the current owner, since these details aren't independently published.

The Area & Things to Do

Ixtapa Zihuatanejo is one of the more established beach destinations on Mexico's Pacific coast, and it rewards owners who like a mix of resort comfort and old-town atmosphere. Playa Municipal in Zihuatanejo, about 1.5km away, is lined with seafood palapas and sits right beside the colonial-style Centro Histórico, where you'll find craft markets, galleries and the small Museo Arqueológico de la Costa Grande. Playa La Ropa, roughly 2km away, is the calmer, swimmable beach favoured for long lunches at the string of beachfront restaurants. Golfers have the Robert Trent Jones Jr.–designed course at Ixtapa Golf Club, about 8km away, with fairways running along the coast. Beyond that, the marinas handle regular sport-fishing charters and boat tours, and both Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo have enough restaurants, bars and shops to fill a week without renting a car — though a car (or resort-arranged transport) helps if you want to explore further up the Guerrero coastline.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Because Pacífica Grand is an independent resort, resale isn't processed through a branded corporate transfer desk — it goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management. If you're thinking of selling, contact the resort directly to confirm the current transfer fee, whether there's a right of first refusal on resales, and the annual maintenance fee attached to your week, since none of these figures are published and they can change. Get them in writing before you agree a price with a buyer, and make sure the buyer knows exactly what does and doesn't come with the week — for example, whether RCI affiliation carries over automatically or needs to be set up separately in the buyer's name.

On BidMyTimeshare.com, you list your week as a private, owner-to-owner sale or rental: you set your own asking price, write your own listing, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to publish your ad and 0% commission on whatever price you agree — we don't take a cut of the sale. For a resale listing, it helps to state the week/season, unit size, the current annual fee, and whether RCI exchange rights are included, since that's exactly what serious buyers ask about first. For rentals, renters here are generally looking for a specific travel week, proximity to the beaches at Zihuatanejo or La Ropa, and clarity on what's included — so the more precise your listing, the fewer back-and-forth questions you'll get.

Practical Notes

The nearest airport is Zihuatanejo International Airport, around 15km from the Ixtapa Zihuatanejo area; owners and renters typically arrange a rental car, shuttle or taxi from there, and it's worth confirming pickup options with Pacífica Grand ahead of arrival. Dry season, November to April, brings the most reliable weather, with December to March as the busiest stretch locally. Hurricane season runs June to October, bringing occasional tropical storms, which is worth factoring in if you're renting out a week that falls in those months.
