Pacífica Golf

The Resort & Its Setting

Pacífica Golf is an independently run timeshare resort with an RCI affiliation, located in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo on Mexico's Pacific coast in the state of Guerrero. Thanks to its RCI affiliation, owners aren't limited to their home week — they can also trade into RCI's network of affiliated resorts elsewhere. The resort also sits within one of Guerrero's longest-established holiday destinations, putting owners and renters close to the area's beaches and town life rather than on an isolated stretch of coast.

Ixtapa Zihuatanejo: The Area

Ixtapa Zihuatanejo is really two places in one: Zihuatanejo, the older fishing town with a relaxed, authentic feel, and Ixtapa, the purpose-built resort strip with a long crescent beach and more structured hotel amenities. Playa Principal in Zihuatanejo is a short trip away and is a good spot for swimming and sampling fresh seafood at the beachfront palapas. Ixtapa Beach itself has water sports operators and restaurants lined up along the sand. For something with more depth, the Zihuatanejo Museum covers the region's pre-Hispanic history, Punta Ixtapa has coastal hiking and snorkelling coves, and Troncones Beach, a bit further out, draws surfers and anyone after a quieter shoreline. The coast here has a distinct wet and dry season, so conditions underfoot and the crowds you'll encounter shift noticeably depending on when you visit.

Selling or Renting a Week at Pacífica Golf

Owners who no longer use their week at Pacífica Golf can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, pay a one-time listing fee to publish the ad, and there's no commission taken when the week sells or rents — buyers and renters contact you straight through the platform.

Because Pacífica Golf is independently operated rather than part of a branded chain, resale transfers typically go through the resort's own owners' association or management office rather than a corporate resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth asking the resort directly for the current transfer fee, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and the current annual maintenance fee — these details vary by resort and aren't publicly listed, so always confirm them in writing before closing a sale.

A resale buyer can typically expect to receive the week or points allocation itself, plus whatever exchange affiliation comes attached to it — in this case, RCI membership eligibility, since Pacífica Golf is RCI-affiliated. Buyers should also ask how long the ownership transfer process usually takes at this resort, as it can range from a few weeks to a couple of months depending on how the association handles the paperwork.

Exchange Network Benefits

Because Pacífica Golf carries RCI affiliation, owners can deposit their week or points with RCI and exchange into other RCI resorts rather than returning to Ixtapa Zihuatanejo every year. For renters and buyers, this is worth noting as a feature of ownership here — it adds flexibility beyond simply using the home resort each year.

Practical Notes for Visiting

International visitors need a valid passport and a Mexican tourist card (FMM), usually issued on arrival. December through March tends to bring the driest, most comfortable weather, while April–May and September–November are shoulder months with fewer crowds and generally better rates on accommodation and flights. Summer and early autumn bring higher humidity and periods of rain, which is worth factoring into both travel plans and any rental listing you create for those months.
