Pros: Great value, great view Cons: Out-of-the-way location, few amenities
The Plaza Las Glorias Hotel El Mirador is a famous landmark in old Acapulco -- it's where the famed cliff divers of La Quebrada dive. I stayed at the hotel for a couple days during my trip to Acapulco last month. While I already posted a long review of...
Pros: Romance, privacy, and a flower on your pillow at night Cons: Somewhat remote, expensive
The Las Brisas Hotel is more than a hotel, it's a mountain turned into a fantastically luxurious architectural masterpiece! Every room is its own house! Every room has its own pool! Every room has its own balcony! It's no wonder that Las Brisas is one of...
Pros: Picture perfect sunsets every night Cons: Traffic can be a zoo
Review Topic: Overview
Straight talk time: Acapulco is my favorite big beach resort in the world. Why? One word: sunset. No other resort anywhere in the world has sunsets as dramatically beautiful as you find in...
Pros: Guts, glory and a touch of insanity Cons: None
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
What should I do in Acapulco? Two words: cliff divers. Other resort areas have their own gimmicks and attractions, but nothing else anywhere else has quite the dramatic life...
Pros: Sinfully rich flavors in a friendly down-home cafe Cons: Expensive and hard-to-find
Review Topic: Restaurants
I absolutely love genuine Mexican cooking with all my heart and soul, but every now and then I can't help but feel like I'll explode if I see one more tortilla and chili! It was just about...
Pros: Nice beaches. A kind of "unrestored" South Beach in places. Cons: Very hot. A/C sporadic. Often rather ugly/depressing.
Acapulco is amazing, to be sure, but it may amaze in unexpected ways that disappoint. Glitz, glamor, and elegance are not words I would associate with the grandaddy of the Mexican Riviera. Rather, terms like rock-till-you-drop, drunk, expensive, ...
Pros: Relax and have fun at your own pace. Cons: There are less "site seeing" attractions, the constant slough of vendors made my mind snap.
Riding in our charter bus from Taxco, we could feel the change in temperature as we approached the coast. Suddenly, the cool mountain air became Hot! Hot! Hot! and soon we were at our final destination in Mexico: Sunny, warm, and humid Acapulco.

Pros: A Gift of Love From our Children Cons: Nothing
My Husband and I were given a trip to Acapulco for our 40th Anniversary by our five children. Our Anniversary is on February 22nd, and we left from San Antonio, as our oldest son was living there at the time. What a great surprise to us, and we had a...
Pros: Ika Tako Cons: Beach, Hyatt Regency, not much to do
I went to Acapulco for a three-day weekend while working in Mexico City, so I apologize that this is a short review. I don't think I was there long enough to take it all in, but this was my experience. Hotel: I stayed at the Hyatt Regency Acapulco. ...
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying in Acapulco for a few days (June, 2000). It is a neat place, with lots of exciting things to do- and very accommodating to tourists (it is a major business, after all).
Pros: Beautiful, great service, lots of fun Cons: A little spendy
The Princess Hotel in Acapulco is a magnificent jewel in a beautiful land. I recently had the pleasure of staying there with my wife for the International Communication Association conference. We stayed 4 days and 4 nights in early June of 2000. I...
Pros: Plenty of night life Cons: Not the place if you're looking for seclusion
Acapulco has been a major tourist destination for many years and has something to offer almost every taste from active night life to inviting beaches, through to "shop till you drop" boutiques.
Pros: great culture, nice people, low prices Cons: old busses and smelly exhaust; hot humid weather in April
Experiencing old Acapulco By Nancy V. Sont It was hot and humid. I knew by the time I got outside to flag a bus I’d be sweating all over. “Go see Old Acapulco!” someone on the van had said a few days before as all American fast food shops ...
Pros: Sun, Baby Goat, Discos, Fun Atmosphere Cons: Too many vendors at times
Acapulco is one of the most honky tonk fun places in all of Mexico. As soon as you descend on almost any beach, the fun begins. First, the Corona Beer or Coco Loco drink sellers appear. Then in almost any order, the t-shirts, shorts, wrap arounds,...
