Zihuatanejo, Mexico Tour - Travel Video

[@1Vegas777]

Like, comment, watch. This is where Tim Robbins character in Shawshank redemption fled to. Awesome movie and cast. It's beautiful there

[@infiad1275]

Top 5 favorite of all time.

[@BangTaoBeach]

Great movie but the boat and beach scene is not Zihua. The final scene of The Shawshank Redemption was filmed at Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

[@1Vegas777]

@@BangTaoBeach thx for that info. Didn't know that.

[@geneconroy7795]

Get busy living, or get busy dying.. Gosh damn right! Zihuaaaaaaa! Love La Ropa Beach... We'll be there in March! Great video!

[@cathy1944]

I have walked those streets many times. I’ve sat and drank cocktails watching the fishermen bringing in their daily catch. I miss Zihwat so much. My favorite place I’ve ever been!

[@Celticnik]

Sounds amazing

[@Camera1931-p5v]

Mexico is so beautiful! Thanks for the tour!

[@imogenequest56]

Pretty amazing sunsets! Great overview on the town. If you have more time there are a number of beautiful bronze statues of Indigenous women scattered around centro area. We barely skimmed the surface when my husband and I were there. I would love to go back. Thankyou for filming.

[@gladisflores5323]

I love my hometown zihuatanejo. Gracias for the video I really enjoyed it.

The Hotel Irma has been there for over 35 years, way before hurricane Irma.

[@williamzavlaris4054]

Visited here some 50 years ago when I was 20 years old, drove the 100 miles from Acapulco by jeep on very primitive roads and stayed at "Sotaventa"when it was one of the very few hotels in the area and it looked so different then. The owner was a German architect who constructed the rooms into the hillside, his wife was French (I think) so the food had European influences with fantastic local seafood and fruits. The rooms were open to the wonderful, low humidity weather with the typical hammocks of the region being a fixture on every balcony and patio. It was paradise! La Ropa beach was just a large coconut palm plantation, the town was a very small fishing village with a few local tourists only. There was no Ixtapa to the north and not very many houses on the surrounding mountains. The airport was very small with mainly private planes of fishermen from the U.S. and Canada. You took a small boat to Gato Beach at the mouth of the bay for the best swimming. Can't believe the changes. I've traveled all around the world since then but this really was a special place whose memory I will always cherish. Thanks so much for taking me back. Safe travels and I also very much appreciate your taking us along on all your journeys. Happy New Year!

Beautiful México 🇲🇽

" I find I'm so excited that I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel. A free man at a start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope."

Ya that's thought from Shawshank redemption and that's so fabulous thought to live❤

Mexico have so much beaches :)

[@dudleydogbrown1]

GREAT VIDEO---THANK YOU

[@andrewthacker114]

Wow ,looks impressive . Amazing.

[@davidvanomen3051]

Was there in August. Heading back this April. Fact check, Shawshank movie ending was filmed in the Caribbean.

[@diegoflynn6215]

It was filmed in the Caribbean BUT in the book Andy escaped to Zihuatanejo. And where Red met him on the beach.

[@DanielMartinez-cq1em]

Great video , I like the original soundtrack from the local stores and you can hear what people's walking by are talking about

[@felipeguerrero3457]

Beautiful Zihuatanejo, for spend a romantic escape o simply with family or friends, walkable, cheap and nice views over the hills

[@Celticnik]

Great video, thanks.

[@johnwilliamyoung2710]

Wow, spectacular, Jeff!

[@jazzjackson9875]

If you see Andy Dufresne tell him I said what's up

[@evargas9579]

It looks pretty safe for what I see..

[@angiet1924]

Great informative video! Like that you showcased some of the on the beach hotels that I have also been looking at on google maps. Also appreciate the comparison of the 2 beaches. My husband and I love to swim in the ocean so appreciate this info. Were you there in December of 2021 as per the date on the video? Thank you.

[@Guywithcrazyideas]

Did you see Tim Robbins on the beach?

[@jazzjackson9875]

Still fixing up that boat I bet

[@IslandHopperTV]

Actually funny thing is, I didn't get the reference until later on. I had not even seen the scene in Shawshank Redemption scene until today.

you got you a sub, thanks for sharing.

[@violamateo-on8pc]

Ahm, no: that wasn't a sign for "tequila". It said TAQUILLA--which means "ticket office".

[@bigbub6476]

I had to laugh at that. “Boy, tequila is not cheap here.” 😂😅😂

[@Guywithcrazyideas]

what are those stick things on the roofs?

[@michaelcooke8665]

That's a pretty sweet place

[@alalesc3796]

Beautiful ixtapa!

[@evargas9579]

Nice video I enjoyed it..

[@imogenequest56]

Also Aura Del Mar hotel is/was pretty nice. Their restaurant is down on the beach . It’s got the huge white awning. You probably walked past it closer to downtown.

[@andremcamara3120]

Great video thank you. We usually go to Ixtapa, but we like to go to Zihuatanejo for day trips. Truly love it there especially the beaches and Sunsets, but the people that are fantastic and genuinely friendly.

[@suejohnson6254]

Hotel Mexicana is the place to stay!

[@gilbert2303]

What’s been your fav Mexican beach town so far ?

[@IslandHopperTV]

This one is up there… Playa del Carmen is cool too

[@Xmaslightsallyear]

@@IslandHopperTV Indeed. I've been fortunate to have been a full time resident of Mexico for over 24 years. Playa del Carmen is exquisite. Not as magical nor as self-consciously hip as Tulum (which I also love), but infinitely more practical for long term living. And drop dead beautiful in its own way as well.

[@shamlove0]

Nice Jeff

[@rosahorner9669]

Is the embarc zehuatenejo a timeshare? Can anyone book at this resort?

[@tracycakes99]

Looks pretty snoozy. Don’t think I’ll put it on my travel list.

[@Thorgal_04]

What camera do you use in this video?

[@IslandHopperTV]

iphone camera phone

[@Thorgal_04]

@@IslandHopperTV really good quality. I thought it's some camera. What model?

[@BangTaoBeach]

Zihuatanejo or PV to live? What's your opinion?

[@go4pyromac]

1.4 million USD in Mexico??

[@diegoflynn6215]

80 pesos is $4 American, not $6. Simple formula for you senor. Pesos to American dollars. 600 pesos. Drop last digit. So drop the last zero. = 60. Then cut in half. = 30. So 600 pesos. = $30 American dollars. Works every time. Not always perfect but gets you close. And you will impress your friends. 😎 🤔

[@cmnweb]

People say that one fugitive from USA live in Zihua for many years and people loved him, this was in the '30s / 40's so maybe the Shawshank Redemption has a little of true.
