Our stay had its ups and downs. The location was absolutely fantastic, right near the beach and convenient tram stops. The room we had was spacious and clean with beautiful views. However, there were a few letdowns with the condition of some amenities, and the service didn't quite meet our expectations during a special celebration. Overall, though, the pros outweighed the cons and we enjoyed our time here.

Our stay was enjoyable, and the apartment offered great views, though it did show its age with dated bathrooms and some maintenance issues. While we found the apartment spacious and clean, we noticed that the amenities could use some updating. The staff was lovely and accommodating, making our experience even better. The location was perfect for accessing nearby attractions, but the overall value for what we received fell short of expectations.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The rooms were spacious and clean, which was a plus, and the beach was just a short walk away, making it easy to enjoy sunbathing. However, I faced some disappointments with the amenities and the service didn't quite meet my expectations. While it's a decent choice for a family vacation, it could use some improvements to truly shine.

Our stay at the Acapulco was quite memorable with stunning ocean views and spacious apartments. While the staff was incredibly helpful, my experience was dampened by being placed in a room without the promised ocean view. Overall, it's a solid choice for those seeking a beach getaway at a reasonable price, but make sure to confirm your room type beforehand.
