“The
Queen of Mexican Beach Resorts”
Legendary for its glamour, Acapulco
Mexico has long been a favorite of the jet set. Acapulco leapt into the
international spotlight in the late 1930’s when movie stars made it their
playground. Today, Acapulco attracts visitors with its glitzy nightlife and
pristine beaches. Acapulco is the largest, loudest, and most boisterous
resort in Mexico – yet seclusion from the port’s clamor can be found at
several hotel properties. Acapulco offers over 300 hotels and boasts some of
the world’s swankiest resorts, along with dozens of affordable beachfront
choices.
Acapulco is set around a beautiful,
crescent-shaped bay and backed by majestic mountains that tumble to the sea.
Acapulco graciously blends captivating scenery with 24-hour excitement. From
golf, tennis and water sports, to dining by the light of the moon and
dancing under the stars, the action here is truly non-stop!

Acapulco accommodations can be found in
three main areas:
