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.
We booked about 6 weeks before we went so not exactly last minute, but not ages in advance and paid around £750 each for all inclusive 4 star hotel for two weeks. All the hotels are arranged around the bay along a long road called La Costera, and many are actually on the beach.
The hotel was fabulous, on the beach and the staff were great, you didnt even have to get out of your sunlounger to go to the bar, the waiters came down on to the beach and delivered your drinks to you dripping with ice. Well you need to keep cool in 47C heat.

Advantages: Great location, kitchenette, 4 swimming pools, free safety deposit box, unbeatable price Disadvantages: Not too many facilities, a basic hotel really, slow lifts
...I sometimes think that if you believed Trip Advisor you would never stay in any hotel, anywhere in the world. This hotel did not have good reviews, but we stayed there anyway, and it was, as they say, Not Too Bad. This week was Mexican Independence Day (celebrated on 16th Sept...incidentally the day the war of independence commenced, not the day it ended) and so we had a long weekend - 5 days for me, since I never work Fridays anyway. We decided to go to Acapulco for 3 nights, and through a combination of restricted budget and late booking, ended up staying here.
~~~ Arrival ~~~
We took a should-be-5-hour-but-holiday-traffic-turned-it-int o-6½-hours bus trip from Mexico City and arrived into Acapulco at about 4pm. There are several different bus terminals depending on your company, but they are all similar. A taxi from...

.../lift, dry cleaning service, shopping on site, casino and night club. This hotel has 50 rooms divided on 4 floors.
There are some restaurants (including Restaurant Bahila, please refer to photos below), cafes, subway around the hotel. This was very convenience. There was a supermarket about 8 minutes walk from the hotel. There’s also a floating market (with fresh fishes, vegetables) just 10 minutes walk through the floating footbridge.
The room is equipped with cable/satellite TV, bathroom, in-room safe, hair dryer, iron/ironing board, wake-up calls, fridge (on request), voice mail, and coffee/tea kettle, air-conditioned. But there weren’t any fridge; we forgot to ask for it when we booked online. We did ask the staff to bring us one, but they didn’t have enough. But the good thing was there was an ice dispenser machine around the corner...

For my partner's birthday this year, I decided we would spend a night in Central London in a classy hotel. I checked out lastminute.com and managed to find a superb deal: The 5 star rated Swissotel for £100 a night! This is about 75%cheaper than their... more
The hotel was extremely clean and the facilities were very good. The pools were varied with a fun pool, a middle pool with pool side music (loud) throughout the day and a 'quiet' pool which was always very quiet (virtually deserted) and relaxing with... more
