Elcano Hotel is a three-pearl property on a prime location in Acapulco’s Golden Zone. The rear of the hotel faces towards popular Playa Icacos and the front opens onto the buzzing bars and shops found along Avenida Costera. Opened in the late 1950s, the hotel exudes a certain nostalgic charm, but its no surprise that the retro lobby and 180 guest rooms show their age. The hotel features an outdoor pool, restaurant, and bar, all of which are relatively standard but do offer beautiful views of Acapulco Bay. The nearby Emporio Acapulco Hotel and Crowne Plaza Acapulco offer similar amenities in the same price category, so it’s worth comparing rates.

Grand Hotel Acapulco is a sprawling, three-and-a-half-pearl family-friendly hotel at the very end of Acapulco’s gorgeous Playa Icacos. It’s 537 air-conditioned rooms range from dated Standard Rooms to posh Suites with marble accents, flat-screen TV with cable channels, and private balconies with gorgeous ocean views (although some are partial-ocean views). The hotel’s three restaurants (buffet, seafood, and Mexican) get mostly positive reviews and a poolside snack shack opened in 2017. Other hotel amenities include two freshwater pools (one is chlorine-free), a kids' club, a huge ocean-view gym, and a full-service spa. There's a sandy beach with thatch cabanas, but they cost a fee to use. For a family-friendly oceanfront option in central Acapulco, a gorgeous beach, two pools and a big water slide, its worth pricing out Krystal Beach Acapulco.

Quinta Real Acapulco is a four-pearl oceanfront hotel with stunning Pacific Ocean views in Acapulco’s Diamond Zone. The posh hotel’s 62 rooms have king or double beds, marble floors and counters, plush love seats or couches, and breathtaking ocean views from balconies (some with private plunge pools). Quinta Real’s two pricy restaurants serve Mexican and international cuisine and the main cliff-top restaurant has phenomenal ocean views that might be better than the food. Most hotel amenities also have ocean views, including the gym with floor-to-ceiling windows, the full-service spa, and the bar. An infinity pool and a shallow kids' pool are right next to the gorgeous partially private Revolcadero Beach, that requires stairs to reach. For lower rates and a comfortable stay with multiple pools, four restaurants, and a gorgeous beach, the Grand Hotel Acapulco is worth a visit.

Acapulco Malibu is a three-pearl hotel located along bustling Avenida Costera Miguel Aleman, the city’s main tourist artery. The center of Acapulco’s nightlife and entertainment scene, the street is lined with a huge selection of shops, restaurants, and bars. While the hotel’s 80 rooms have an interesting circular layout, decor is dated and lackluster. The two pools are pleasant if unremarkable. Tabasco Beach, the on-site restaurant, faces scenic Santa Lucia Bay, and serves international and Mexican fare. It’s worth comparing rates with Emporio Acapulco Hotel down the street, which offers similar amenities but more modern guest rooms.

With a gorgeous beachfront location and a mini-golf course, Calinda Beach Acapulco is a three-pearl, family-friendly, all-inclusive hotel on Acapulco’s Calinda Beach. Its 355 bright, air-conditioned rooms have double or king beds, flat-screen TVs with cable channels, mini-fridges, marble bathrooms, and small balconies with ocean or mountain views. They're a bit dated, but will suffice. The hotel’s buffet restaurant serves tasty Mexican cuisine, and overlooks the pool and ocean.
