Emporio Acapulco Hotel is a three-and-a-half pearl hotel located in Acapulco’s Golden Zone. Set in the heart of the city’s nightlife and entertainment scene, the hotel offers direct access to Acapulco Bay and popular Playa Condesa. Its 422 rooms are cheerful and well-maintained overall, but the bathrooms and furniture could use an update. The three pools are gorgeous; two are reserved for adults and the third has a fun pirate ship. The restaurants are nice enough if a bit bland in terms of both food and decor. It’s worth comparing rates with the nearby Crowne Plaza Acapulco, which has similar amenities.

The Princess Mundo Imperial, formerly Fairmont Acapulco Princess, is a four-pearl resort located on a large, garden-filled property, seven miles from downtown. The hotel’s 1,011 rooms and suites are located in three towers. Rooms in the Pearl Tower are gorgeous, while those in the other two are in need of a refresh. The resort offers a dizzying array of restaurants, pools, and entertainment options, particularly if you count the facilities of its two sister properties, which guests can also use. The resort itself is buzzing with activity, yet some may find its location too far away from the downtown nightlife scene and there’s virtually nothing within walking distance. It’s worth considering the Fiesta Americana Villas Acapulco for its more central location, or the neighboring Pierre Mundo Imperial for its more intimate atmosphere.

The Pierre Mundo Imperial, formerly Fairmont Pierre Marques, is an upscale hotel located in Acapulco’s secluded Diamante district. Its 229 guest rooms are large and offer views of the coast or the landscaped property, but the decor is drab and old-fashioned. Highlights include four superb restaurants, three beautiful pools, and direct access to Playa Revolcadero, one of the area’s prettiest beaches. For an extra charge, guests can use the facilities at two sister resorts, thus providing the advantages of a mega-resort without the chaotic atmosphere that comes along with it. As an alternative, Fiesta Americana Villas Acapulco is an option for guests who want to be closer to downtown, but its beach isn’t as nice.

There’s a small private beach with a swim-out floating platform, plus three freshwater pools (including one designed for kids) with amazing views and lots of lounge chairs.

Formerly Crowne Plaza Acapulco, Gran Plaza Hotel Acapulco is a three-and-a-half-pearl hotel located in the city’s Golden Zone. Backing onto the sands of Acapulco Bay, the hotel is surrounded by shops, restaurants, bars, and beach-related activities. Guest rooms are appealing and the facilities are modern, but the crowds and generic decor are on par with mid-range expectations. Highlights include a swim-up bar in the sprawling pool complex, a modern fitness center, and live music. The atmosphere is perfect for those interested in high-energy activities and parties, but guests seeking romance and privacy aren’t going to find it here. Nearby Fiesta Americana Villas Acapulco has similar amenities and rates can be cheaper.

Located a five-minute drive from Acapulco’s General Juan N. Alvarez International Airport, Resort Mundo Imperial could arguably be called one of the world’s most fabulous airport resorts. Its 814 air-conditioned rooms range from Superior to a 10,000-square foot Owner’s Suite with bright, modern interiors, flat-screen TVs, iHome iPod docks, and private balconies.
