Dear Dave,
I am in the middle of
escorting 19 great travel agents from western Canada to
the Krystal Ixtapa and get familiar with a beautiful
destination - Ixtapa and Zihuatenejo.
The Ixtapa area runs along 26 kms of hilly tropical
coastline with dozens of sandy beaches and scalloped
coves. The average temperature is 78.8 degrees and the
sun shines approximately 340 days a year!

KRYSTAL IXTAPA - The Krystal Ixtapa is
located on one of the best beaches in Ixtapa's hotel
district.
IXTAPA - Once a coconut plantation, Ixtapa
boasts the high-rise hotels, all-inclusive resorts,
air-conditioned restaurants and upscale shopping you
associate with Mexican beach resorts and luxury travel.

KRYSTAL IXTAPA 
The property features a great combination of modern
architecture, hotel accommodations, cuisine, and
Ixtapa's most spectacular swimming pool with its own
waterfall and water-slide!
After an amazing arrival with a band and traditional
dancers, we checked in and got ready for dinner.
Before heading into Bogart's, Krystal's amazing
signature restaurant, we enjoyed a fire dancer
presentation at the restaurant.
Then we headed next door to Christine's Disco, one of
the most popular party spots in Ixtapa, to enjoy one
of the Krytstal's 3 weekly shows.
The next morning, all of the agents were ready for a
brief meeting and then site inspection on property.
Agents were able to see Standard (floors 2-4), Deluxe
(floors 5-8) and Superior rooms (floors 9-11).
Of course the agents were able to spend some free time
on property to enjoy the pools and great beach and
eventually enjoying some time to do karaoke.
Thanks to all of these fine agents for their support!
The resort offers 3 restaurants and one a la carte which
is the famous Bogarts Restaurant. Last Fall, the hotel
underwent major renovations, which included rooms, lobby
and restaurants.

The destination tag line is ONE TRIP, TWO
PARADISES. Of
course the first part of your job as an agent is selling
the destination. It was great for the agents to enjoy and
explore both paradises with a number of excursions.
With the help of
OTI (WestJet's ground tour operator), we
headed out for a city tour of Zihuatanejo, only 20
minutes from Ixtapa.
It is a beautiful, traditional fishing village, which I
hope all Ixtapa guests take time to explore. The local
farming population relies on agricultural crops
including coconuts, mangos, cotton and corn.
Another great excursion
provided by
OTI was a day
out to a brand new museum and archeological site (Xihuacan
Museum and Archeological Site), followed by a lunch at a
near-by fishing village.
The catamaran excursion was a highlight for some of our
agents!
