Acapulco
The queen of Mexican beach resorts
offers over 300 hotels and boasts some of the world's swankiest
resorts. Thanks to its dazzling discos, bars, clubs and "Las
Vegas, Mexican-style" atmosphere, party-lovers and honeymooners
fall in love its tropical beauty and festive Mexican atmosphere.
The area also offers parks, calm beaches, a new aquarium, and
the world's only island zoo.
Resort activities center around three areas. Beginning south
of Acapulco Bay (near the airport) is the Playa Revolcadero area,
home to several first class resorts. Just to the north (between
the airport and Acapulco Bay) is the Puerto Marques area, site
of a multi-million dollar self-contained development that includes
resort hotels, golf courses, condos, and marinas. Finally, there
is Acapulco Bay. This is area is the home to nearly all of Acapulco's
high rise hotels, nightlife, dining, and shopping.
Dining cuisine is diverse. Most restaurants are al-fresco, and
many offer breathtaking views of Acapulco Bay.
Shopping is excellent, either in the resort's several American-style
malls, or at its bustling downtown Mercados.
