Best Acapulco Hotels

The building has an intriguing shape and there are many pools. It’s also right in La Condesa Beach. Ideal location, you would think. BUT…. 1. After checking in, I found a very dirty washroom sink, and called down to report it. The woman who arrived waved her hand dismissively but I stood my ground and she cleaned it. Turns out the drain is clogged so even if the poor cleaner did her job the first time, the previous guest’s hair and muck would ring the sink unless you took special care. Annnd the sink was never fixed the whole time I was there. 2. At checkin I got a band slapped on my wrist and later realized every guest got one. It showed you belong on the property. Also they come in different colors: White means a basic stay; red means breakfast included and purple means all inclusive. So yea others will know what you’re paying for during your stay. 3. The beach is pretty good except it’s a pirate’s cove — meaning that because of the vagaries of Mexican law, though Hotsun has a great location and a piece of the beach for its guests, where you can generally sit free, the spots nearest the water belong to the government. So if you sit in the lounge chairs and under the tents nearest the waves, you have to pay different guys who keep changing the price every single day. If you land on a cruise ship from some far-flung country you may not be aware of this. Those guys, wearing uniforms of some sort, also sell drinks that are exorbitantly priced. Before you figure out they have nothing to do with Hotsun, you may be taken for a ride. I was. Also, every 1-2 mins of every day, vendors descend on the beach with all sorts of things for sale. In one day I was asked to buy grilled shrimp on a stick, coconut water with jelly, sun hats, fridge magnets, massages, boat rides, oysters, sun dresses, sunglasses, beach floats, tattoos, braids, sunscreen, sand boots and a serenade from a nice old man with a guitar. People have to make a living, yes, and the law makes Mexican beach space very democratic, but I wish the hotel, which took a $200 MXN returnable deposit to give me a towel to lie by the pool for the duration of my stay, had warned me about the Wild West nature of the beach where it is located, and pointed out which uniformed person belongs to the hotel and a head’s up so I could buy at my own risk. I said “No, gracias” maybe 90 times during that one week. 4. The noise, oh the noise. El ruido comes up to the hotel’s top floors and grabs you by the neck: Music, laughter, children squealing, etc. These are usually all marvelous aspects about living on planet earth, but when you can’t sleep because a group at the hotel is holding a party on the beach and the thump thump thump of reggaeton is blaring deep into the night and giving you a headache, the conclusion is the hotel is not prioritizing the comfort of the rest of its guests. If this is your jam, go for it. But for many it would be a frustrating experience all around.

We were traveling as an extended family and had the three-bedroom suite facing the bay. Very nice, very clean, absolutely no complaints. Each room had a balcony. We saw sea turtles swimming in the water by the rocks numerous times. The hotel staff is pleasant and helpful. We did not encounter any staff members who were not. Part of what made the visit so enjoyable is that the taxi drivers located outside the Fiesta Americana provide a great service. We booked a daylong tour with Jose Luciano Callejas Gonzalez. We paid less than then tour companies were charging, traveled in a spotlessly clean air conditioned Suburban, and got a personalized tour. Jose took us to numerous scenic outlooks, the Chapel of Peace (a must see), the Diego Rivera mural (another must see), the Mirador for lunch and to watch the cliff divers, the outdoor ampitheater, Los Flamingoes to see the view, and other stops. We really felt like we got a great overview of city. Jose's English is excellent and he's very knowledgeable. Look for the guy in the turquoise shirt, his service is exceptional! We also worked with several other drivers stationed at the hotel. Oscar Cervantes also has excellent English and outstanding service, as does Pedro. The pools at the hotel were very nice. One was closed for renovation while we were there (June 2023) but the others offered plenty of space. One nice surprise is that several floors offer washers and dryers free of charge. So great to be able to take home a suitcase of clean clothes! Our room had a small kitchen, stovetop only, no oven, plus microwave, dishwasher, and fridge. We made a run to the grocery store and were able to cook meals there some days. The hotel plays music throughout the evening and late into the night on the weekends. If you're sensitive to sounds, take ear plugs. The music didn't bother us but it might bother others. Fiesta Americana is in easy (and safe) walking distance to numerous restaurants. We particularly liked La Finca. I whole-heartedly recommend Fiesta Americana and its excellent staff and taxi drivers!

🚗 Transportation: Take a taxi to the airport for 450 pesos per person, on a very beautiful small peninsula, 25 minutes from the airport by car. 🧹 Hygiene: Impeccable, the yard is even clean 🍃Environment: Each one is a single-family villa with a private small swimming pool, with good privacy. The bay view is already beautiful and very good value. 🔔Service: 24-hour room service, call the golf cart in the park anytime, anywhere. The Thai restaurant is worth trying. The fish soup really has the taste of grandma. The restaurant can watch the sunset and unforgettable scenery. The best hotel in Acapulco without a doubt, deserves 5 stars.

A nuestro Check in el personal muy amable y atento aunque la habitación la entregan hasta las 3pm tienen servicio de guarda equipaje y puedes hacer uso de las instalaciones hasta que te entregan la habitación ya que en mi caso llegamos a las 8am nos colocaron nuestros brazaletes y pudimos ingresar, el hotel en si no es lujoso pero las instalaciones son muy cómodas, con aire acondicionado y todo lo necesario para que la estancia sea cómoda, el elevador de la torre 1 tarda DEMASIADO, en el restaurante no tienen mucha variedad de alimentos y si es algo caro para lo que te sirven pero no tan caro si tomas en cuanta que es un hotel a pie de playa, el desayuno americano que incluyen algunas estancias son de buena porción y muy rico, todo el personal del restaurante muy atento y amable. La alberca esta climatizada lo que es muy bueno y mas cuando llevas niños. Te prestan toallas de alberca las cuales puedes sacar del hotel por si vas a turistear a la Roqueta u otras playas y si las pierdes tienen un costo del 250pesos, solo te las cambian una vez por día, al finalizar tu estancia te entregan una tarjeta que entregas en recepción de que no adeudas toallas. El mismo hotel te coloca camastros con sombrilla en la playa pero son muy pocos por eso mi insistencia en comenzar sus actividades temprano, a tu regreso de la playa en la regadera para que te enjuagues de la arena y agua de mar NUNCA tienen agua. Yo recomiendo que empiecen sus actividades temprano antes de las 9am ya que después se empieza a saturar, tanto restaurante como alberca y camastros de playa. La limpieza del hotel es muy buena, las habitaciones son amplias y climatizadas, las pantallas cuentas con programación por cable aunque son muy pequeñitas pero bueno uno no va a ver la tv si no a vacacionar, la habitación también cuenta con frigobar funcionando perfectamente. A nuestro Check out que es a las 12 del día también tienes opción de guarda equipaje ya que en mi caso mi regreso era hasta las 10pm. Agradezco a la Gerente de recepción Corina y a Lorena del restaurante por su amabilidad. Sin duda me volveré a hospedar con ustedes.

PROS excellent service, friendly staff, very clean, great drinks, fun activities (tequila volleyball is a must), private beach area, great water pressure in the showers, every room has an amazing view, food was good (omelettes in the morning are the best), la cava restaurant is a great experience (be sure to make reservations for it, it is included in all inclusive packages) CONS basic rooms, hard beds, if you are a spring breaker there are more families here than college students (a plus or a minus depending on what you are looking for during the day), it is on the end of the hotel ***** so not everything is within walking distance (taxis are really inexpensive though, less than $5), no clocks in the rooms Acapulco is to Mexico what Florida is to the US, so if you are American you will be in the minority at the hotel but everyone was very friendly so it did not affect my experience at all If you are a spring breaker looking for craziness all day stay at the Playa Suites, but if you want a relaxing experience during the day stay here It is within walking distance to the Playa Suites, Disco Beach (you have to go there!!) and Ibiza plus McDonalds, KFC and other restaurants/stores Spring Breakers - be sure to hit up the Student City parties and purchase their party pass!! Disco Beach New Year's Party and Los Alebrijes Maxim VIP Party were some of the best nights of my life I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great value for all inclusive packages.

Very recommendable has no over-luxury I serve to sleep a quiet stay and from there travel to any part of the port because it is very central, staff is very attentive and friendly parking is accessible,and is always clean

Encantó Hotel was everything and more! I could not recommend this hotel enough. My boyfriend and I were looking for somewhere to relax and disconnect and we definitely came to the right place.. The facilities are so beautiful and architecturally so well thought out and designed. The pool and lounge beds are so comfortable and where we spent most of the day. The staff at breakfast, the pool and restaurant for dinner were so professional, attentive and kind. Jose Miguel at the pool provided some of the best service I’ve had since moving to Mexico…. The views from the rooms and especially from the spa are breathtaking. We will definitely be coming back for another trip to Encanto.
