I was in Mexico for 4 months last year and visited both towns. (Had also been to both in the past.) Zipolite was its same quiet, charming and beautiful self after a 7-year absence; Sayulita was loud, felt dirty, and was bulging at the seams with people. I ended up hanging out in Zipolite for 15 days; I left Sayulita after drinking two Pacificos at an ignored side-street bar, which was the only place I could find a table. IMO, there is no comparison but I totally get the "Difficult to Get There" factor. I think Zihuatanejo is a great solution if that seems insurmountable, since you can likely fly there direct from Seattle. (It can be done from here in Portland.) Zihua is growing but down by the water it still feels like a fishing village.
