Unforgettable Acapulco

Acapulco, on the Pacific coast of Mexico, was chosen as a popular destination by many celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland and Elvis Presley. It is also the place where the Kennedys spent their honeymoon. Acapulco is a beautiful mix of exotic beaches, tropical jungles and lagoons. It is a name that is synonymous with relaxation and fun. Some of the main attractions include the Fort of San Diego, the Papagoya Park and the House of Culture.

Acapulco is also famous for its beaches. You can visit Playa Puerto Marques, a popular beach that is equally famous for its tin-roofed restaurants serving fresh seafood alongside cold beer as it is for its crystal-clear waters. You can also visit Playa Icacos, which has a series of water sports for the more adventurous. Although these beaches are very popular and attract tourists throughout the year, there are many other beaches such as Pie de la Cuseta that are secluded and have not lost their pristine beauty.

Acapulco is also known for its nightlife. There are a number of restaurants and entertainment venues and nightclubs that play Yucca (salsa and tropical music) and Zucca (music from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s) and everything in between. Clubs like Baby O are an institution unto themselves. There are a number of attractions such as bowling, beach volleyball, deep sea fishing, diving, etc. which have now become a major attraction for tourists from all over the world.

Acapulco is also a paradise for honeymooners. A view of the bay of Acapulco with millions of lights reflected in the water is absolutely stunning and one of the most romantic settings in the world. You can also take a stroll down the main street, Avenida Costera Miguel Alemán, known locally as “La Costera”.

If you want to know more about the pirate history of Acapulco, you just have to go to Fort De San Diego, a fort that was built in the 18th century to protect the city from pirate attacks.

It’s also a great destination for kids with places like CiCi, located on Playa Icacos, which is a water theme park that features slides, slides, dolphin encounters, and seal shows. There are also a number of shopping centers that have many fun areas where parents and children can have fun.

There are a number of accommodation options, from cheap inns to luxury hotels. Las Brisas is considered the most romantic resort with several private and semi-private pools overlooking Acapulco Bay or the Pacific Ocean. You can also choose to live in style in one of the many villas that are designed in contemporary Mexican-Mediterranean styles.
