Not been in gym since junior high school? Never had a facial? It is time!
10 BIG mistakes going to Ixtapan.
You have to be fit. Many guests restart or start at a resort like Ixtapan. A walk in cool mountain air introduces every glorious day. Two levels of walkers. so no one left behind. Or sleep through the walk and enjoy a leisurely buffet breakfast.
You need special clothes. At Ixtapan, anything goes. Laundry is cheap.
You need special shoes? Get your feet measured for width and length. Advice only: break in new sneakers.
You need tubes of suntan lotion. Nope, lotion sold overseas often has superior UVA protection.
You need to try on 10 bathing suits. The best suit is easy to pull off when wet.
You’ll starve. Nope, food is fresh, hearty, low fat. Variety is the spice of life. The photo is grilled fresh shrimp.
You should come with friends. My opinion: come alone and make it all about you.
Any alcohol? There is a budget priced bar at Ixtapan.
Surprising extra costs? Nope, but town Ixtapan de la Sal, one of Mexico’s 100 Magical towns, has excellent doctors, dentists, opticians at bargain rates.
And tenth: August is hot. NO NO NO mornings 50 and daytime 75-80.
