What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious and Bright

I stayed in a two-bedroom ocean view deluxe apartment on the 17th floor, and the views were absolutely fantastic! The unit was clean, spacious, and had a lovely bright atmosphere. I felt right at home during my entire stay!

Relaxing Pools & Spa

The vacation wasn't complete without enjoying the newly renovated indoor pool and spa. They were both kept immaculately clean and offered a wonderful way to unwind after a day at the beach. Relaxing in the sauna was the cherry on top!

Well-equipped Gym

I found the gym facilities on-site to be quite impressive! With a variety of equipment and a spacious layout, I was able to keep up with my workouts. The convenience of exercising just steps from my room was a huge bonus!

Surf Club Delight

Dining at the Northcliffe Surf Club was a highlight of my trip. The food was tasty, and the prices were really reasonable for the quality. It was such a pleasure to walk across the street and enjoy a great dining experience!

8.0/10

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.

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.

7.4/10

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.
