Acapulco opinions pleaseeee?

Question

My friends and I want to plan a trip this coming June of 2008 with the Grand Mayan Palace timeshare a family member has. One of the locations is Acapulco but we are unsure of what it's like there now. We've been hearing some good but mostly tons of bad/negative things. Can anyone who has been there recently or knows what its like now share their opinions. It would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

ps. we are a group of 21 year old girls, if this helps with the suggestions.

Answer 1

well.... I am mexican and I do not really like Acapulco much, i would recomend you better Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos and Cancun.. definitely better options.  :)

However... Acapulco could be good, but a little bit dangerous and not too clean.

Answer 2

Stay together as much as possible. Please its not crazy crime here just be street wise. Dont carry a purse. put all belongings in your front pockets. Dont trust a sole ! Please just be street smart. Really drunk - dont walk to the hotel as a seemingly friendly person will " con" you and next thing you know. Not trying to scare just inform. That being said also stick to the Costera. Dont go to the Marina at night ( daytime fine ). One suggestion - please go to Pie de la Cuesta.

Oh yeah June July and August are the rainy season here . You could pick a better time of year if you plan for alot of fun in the sun

Google it - its an incredible spot. Noone around huge loooooong beach big waves and a fresh water lagoon right ther. Its just as laid back as one can get. No noise pollution from busses taxis and pesky vendors. Pie de la Cuesta is magical

Answer 3

Well, in Acapulco you coud go to beaches like Puerto Marquez, Revolcadero (next to the Princess hotel),etc. There are also good restuarants like Suntory, Julio´s and Pipo´s.

Answer 4

I went to Acapulco recently and I have been all over  Mexico and to tell you the truth, Acapulco was AMAZING! The club scene is great there.

Check out club ALEBRIJE and club Palladium, which is considered top 5 club in the world. You pay around $30 to get in but then all drinks are free all night long till 6am.

check out their webpage http://www.palladium.com.mx/

But i do want to give you advice, don't leave valuables in the room, and if you do make sure you put a "do not disturb" sign on the door so that you wont get jacked.

Hope you have a great time!! ;-)

Answer 5

Definitely stay together if you go out.  I would recommend that you find out if your timeshare has a private beach, because the beggars have gotten much worse.  I plan to return to Acapulco in June, but I am going to an all inclusive hotel that has a private beach.

I would find a nice hotel that has a club and go there to party instead of one of the night clubs.  that way all of you stay very safe.  Have fun!!

Answer 6

Hey it is always great there if you have a glass pipe and lots to put in it. Really you will have a great time no matter where you are if the pipe is blazing. But when the blaze is gone the party is over. Think ahead. Don't get burnt.

Answer 7

ITS A GOOD HOTEL,SAFE, BIG, AND NEGATIVE THING ABOU T WHAT, I GO THERE TO HAVE DRINKS, LUNCH, WHATEVER, NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS, ITS A FAMILY HOTEL, THE CONDOS ARE NICE, MAYBE THE NEGATIVE THINGS MAY NOT BE RELATED, OR YOUR FRIENDS, DID THINGS THAT GOT THEM IN TROUBLE, IF YOU WANT TROUBLE YOU WILL FIND IT, IF YOU SATY AWAY FROM TROUBLE YOUR SAFE, MANY GIRLS FROM MEXICO CITY, YOUNGER, 18 19 GO ON WEEKENDS WITHOUT ANY PARENTS SO WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF.
