CLICK "HERE" TO SEE OUR GREAT HOTELS IN ACAPULCO
Mexico's
original seaside resort has enticed vacationers for more than
half a century. The Kennedys and the Clintons honeymooned there,
Elizabeth Taylor married there and film stars have been relaxing
beneath its palms since the heydays of Errol Flynn and Frank Sinatra.
These days Acapulco is bigger and, in some ways, better than ever.
The seaside city is also a backyard
beach to residents of Mexico City (the national capital is just
250 mi/400 km away) and Guadalajara. As a result, Acapulco feels
more authentically Mexican than do resorts like Cancun or Los
Cabos, which are tailored to vacationers from abroad.
A playground
that never sleeps, Acapulco is home to dazzling restaurants and
decadent discos. Dine on sushi one night and pozole (a regional
specialty) the next. And if heavy metal and pulsing techno are
not your thing, hold hands at a piano bar. Don't expect to get
much sleep, however. Dance all night, sleep half the day and fuel
your body with sun and spicy food in between.
