Las Brisas Acapulco is a four-and-a-half pearl hotel set in the hills overlooking Acapulco Bay. Its 263 bungalow-style rooms and facilities are well-maintained but also pay homage to the hotel’s 60-year heritage with retro-chic touches. The property is designed to highlight its stunning hillside views over the surrounding bay and ocean. Each of the rooms includes terraces with private or semi-private pools; however, there are no beaches within walking distance and guests need to take a short shuttle ride to reach the common pools. Continental breakfast, Wi-Fi, and a fitness center are free, but there's a daily resort fee. For direct access to a beach and pools, consider the Pierre Mundo Imperial -- but know that its views aren't as spectacular and its rooms aren't as nice.

Hotel Los Flamingos is a two-and-a-half-pearl cliffside property with stunning ocean views in Acapulco’s Fraccionamiento Las Playas neighborhood. During Hollywood’s Golden Age, this was a go-to destination for celebs like John Wayne, Errol Flynn, and Cary Grant. Sadly, though, it hasn't improved much since then and its 36 rooms are surprisingly basic, worn, and often dated. Interiors are tired, but the best rooms have balconies with picture-perfect sunset views. The hotel restaurant gets mixed reviews, but is reasonably priced and has amazing sunset views as well. Features include a freshwater pool, a small pool bar, free parking, and free Wi-Fi. For an oceanfront hotel with equally amazing views that's closer to Acapulco's thriving strip, it's worth pricing out the Grand Hotel Acapulco instead.

Copacabana Beach Hotel is a three-pearl hotel located in Acapulco’s tourist-friendly Golden Zone. Countless bars, restaurants, and shops stretch in both directions along Avenida Costera Miguel Alemán out front, and the sands of curved Santa Lucia Bay are accessible out back. The hotel’s 430 guest rooms are basic but inviting with flat-screen TVs and some ocean views from private balconies. There’s no wow factor here, but there are a large pool, eight restaurants and bars, and a fitness center. It’s worth comparing rates with the Crowne Plaza Acapulco and Emporio Acapulco Hotel nearby, both of which offer similar value.

The Mayan Palace Acapulco is a four-pearl hotel set in the Diamante district, on the southern outskirts of the city. Guest rooms are clean-lined and contemporary, with suites offering full kitchens and separate living areas. The property’s two buildings collectively feature two gigantic pools, a lazy river, an aqua park, an 18-hole golf course, and access to scenic Playa Diamante. Including facilities at the two sister hotels found on the same property, there are also more than 16 bars and restaurants; however, Wi-Fi surcharges and a late check-in time seem a bit stingy -- plus guests have no way of choosing between the hotel’s two very different buildings when booking. Add in the hotel’s complicated vacation club model, and it may not be worth the effort for some. The Mayan Palace is gorgeous, but so is the nearby Pierre Mundo Imperial, where rates are often significantly lower.

Hotel Encanto is a one-of-a-kind luxury hotel with everything that well-heeled travelers could want in a vacation -- except for beach access. The hotel’s pool is mesmerizing with an infinity ledge that overlooks the Pacific Ocean, and has contrasting clear and black-bottom areas which create the perception of two-toned waters. Well-known Mexican chef Mónica Patiño runs Origin, and there's a second restaurant for lighter fare. The spa offers a long, open-air spa tub situated on a wooden terrace, which offers dramatic views of the ocean. There are 44 guest rooms with a striking modern design that includes natural stone furniture. But breakfast isn't included and there's a daily resort fee. Travelers could also try the luxury Banyan Tree Cabo Marques, which offers hillside villas.

Hotel Restaurant Quinta Karla Pie de la Cuesta is a two-pearl oceanfront guest house along Acapulco’s sleepy Pie de la Cuesta Beach. It’s 13 oceanfront, fan-cooled rooms range from quaint to dated, and include mini-fridges, free Wi-Fi, and cold-water showers. Without a doubt, the hotel’s beachfront location is its biggest perk and an amazing spot for sunsets. The property's restaurant is another highlight, serving tasty Mexican food alongside ocean views (though it closes early). There’s a freshwater pool as well, but features are otherwise limited. Tent sites with ocean views are also available for those on tight budgets. For a beachfront hotel with similar extras along Pie de la Cuesta Beach, it’s worth pricing out the nearby Hotel Villa Nirvana instead, where the simple rooms thankfully include hot water.

Banyan Tree Cabo Marques is a five-pearl resort located in Acapulco’s fashionable Diamente neighborhood. The 45 outstanding villas are subtly opulent, beautifully blending the brand’s trademark Asian decor with delicate Mexican accents. Striking ocean views, exceptional restaurants, and a wonderful spa combine to create an experience unparalleled elsewhere in Acapulco. The location is perfect for guests seeking a romantic escape, but those hoping to visit the city’s beaches and attractions or enjoy the nightlife scene may find it isolated -- Playa Revolcadero will take 10 minutes to reach by car.

The Grand Mayan Acapulco is a four-pearl hotel located in Acapulco's Playa Diamante area. The 354 rooms are subtly stylish, featuring jetted tubs and private balconies. The hotel offers a striking pool, a pretty beach, and several pleasant on-site restaurants. Guests can also use the extensive facilities of the Mayan Palace resort, with which the Grand Mayan shares its gated grounds. The Grand Mayan is fine luxury property; however, Wi-Fi surcharges and a late check-in time may leave some guests feeling short-changed, plus room rates are exorbitant for guests who are not part of the Vida Vacations club. The nearby Fairmont Pierre Marques offers excellent pools and a comparable beach for significantly lower rates.

Hotel Villas La Lupita is a budgetl hotel located a short walk from Acapulco’s bustling commercial strip with several restaurants and a gorgeous beach. The 34 air-conditioned rooms have dated Mexican Hacienda decor, flat-screen TVs, and fully-tiled stand-up showers. The hotel has a small saltwater swimming pool, a candy and soda vending machine, and sells lottery tickets. Hotel freebies include parking, a bottle of water, coffee and tea in the mornings, and Wi-Fi (although the signal is spotty in the upper-floor rooms). For a slightly nicer stay with a beachfront location, multiple restaurants, and two ocean-view pools, it’s worth pricing out the nearby Krystal Beach Acapulco hotel.
