Hotel Ritz, Acapulco

Advantages: Great if you can afford it!
Disadvantages: Absolutely none

...(This could be in the wrong section!) LIVING IT UP AT THE RITZ (London) Munching British Rail sandwiches on Lincoln station was hardly an inspiring start to a weekend at the Ritz, one of the world’s most prestigious hotels. My fault for not double-checking the departure times so my wife was quick to point out – but then she would say that wouldn’t she? It wasn’t the end of the world and it was a beautiful summers day when we eventually arrived in the capital, where we lost no time in getting a taxi to the hotel to freshen up after the tedious journey. Don’t get the impression that we drop in at the Ritz on a regular basis – this visit was in the nature of a celebration and we were booked into the Piccadilly Suite, a gracious and elegant bedroom with adjoining sitting room, where we found...

Advantages: the weather, the people, the area, virtually everything in fact
Disadvantages: the beach sellers, the cockroaches, the long flight time from the UK, and a small earthquake.

...Firstly my general rule of thumb about going on holiday is, when choosing a destination it must be somewhere I have not been before, but Acapulco is somewhere I would return to in a heartbeat. It has to be one of the best holidays I have had in a long time. Why? I hear you ask.

Well you need to keep cool in 47C heat. Before... Read review

Advantages: Its the Ritz!
Disadvantages: Suitable clothing is a must, no denim, ties and jackets for gents

...'ve stayed in plenty of hotels but this one is something else. After entering the building, door held open by the doorman, you are greeted by no less than 3 diferent staff, all with a word of encouragement. Its like they all really want you to enjoy your Ritz experience. What made us smile the most ( no mean feat the mood we were in!) was when one of the hotel staff said, "here for the afternoon teas?" and we said no, lunch, he then smiled and said " oh even better madam" so as I say they all make you feel very at home. The main lobby is huge. High ceilings, arched mirrors which add to the feeling of size, beautiful carpets, all very well lit and bright. To get to the restaurant you have to walk for at least 5 minutes through the building, thats how big it is. Lobby, and then along a wide corridor where there seemed to be constant... Read review
