Most Romantic Locals: Zihua

In honor of Valentine's Day, I will be posting a photo gallery of the most romantic locations, a new destination everyday of the week. Let's start off with one my favorite places, Zihuatanejo, Mexico. "Zihua" as I like to call it, is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the other popular tourist towns, between a mountain range and the bay. If you are planning to go here, there is no other place to stay than The Tides, a five star property.

A fun fact: Zihuatanejo means "the place of women." "A Tarascan leader named Caltzontzin built a safe harbor here to protect his people's women so they could swim safely in the sea." Many believe the legend of the Amazon women came from here.

There are ten different beach breaks, or surf locations, within 30 miles of the resort.

The Tides offers wedding packages and a honeymoon registry. AAA offers wedding packages in most destinations and in some cases, the bride and groom can fly free!

The Tides also offers an all inclusive option, this means all of your meals and drinks (including cocktails!) are already included! No need to pull out your wallet!

Although in most tourist destinations, travel is safe, there is still a government advisory for Americans traveling to Mexico.
