Acapulco
will always be Acapulco. That´s because this lovely
legendary port- once a favorite spot for pirates eager to
plunder the fine merchandise brought from China aboard a
ship known as the Nao has everything you could want for
the best vacation ever, a perfect climate all year around;
beautiful views where two bays, two lagoons, green mountains
and an incomparable sunset compete for your attention in
shades of pink, red and gold. Plus almost ten kilometers
/6.2 miles) of warm-water beaches where you can enjoy your
favorite water sports. It also has one of the best hotel
infrastructures in the world: restaurants and amusement
parks; shops and boutiques; an endless amount of nightlife,
plus the most advanced technology for holding all kinds
of events, whether artistic or trade and business-related.

To
make you feel at home - or even better - there are dozens
of hotels to choose from, according to your preferences
and needs. On the Costera Miguel Aleman, which runs alongside
the ocean, tall buildings are predominant. Besides offerings
immediate access to the beach, they provide a panoramic
view of the bay.
Villas, also quite common in this resort, have been planned
to provide guests with views of lush tropical gardens and
a greater degree of privacy.
There are also hotels and suites for those who prefer to
be near the center of town, and deluxe facilities in the
new Punta Diamante development which, although a bit removed
from the heart of Acapulco, excels in providing distinctive
and exclusive service.

By Day |
Acapulco
by Night |
Even
though it is an ideal place to relax and soak up the sun
on the beach, the bay is filled with activity all day long.
You can spend the morning deciding whether to swim at one
of the more popular beaches, or to get a tan while you water
ski or jet ski, or to go deep-sea fishing just beyond the
bay or to enjoy the panoramic view from one of Acapulco´s
traditional parachute rides.
If you prefer your activities on firm ground, the city has
five excellent golf courses and over 50 tennis courts It
is also worthwhile to plan a visit to nearby places such
as Barra Vieja, the Coyuca Lagoon, and Pie de la Cuesta
which is famous for its sunsets.
|
If
it´s filled with activity by day, by night Acapulco
is just as restless. Nightlife always begins around midnight,
when the city´s main streets which have been lit
up for hours by the marquees- begin to fill up with people
set on having a good time. Night sounds mingle with the
different kinds of music escaping from the bars and restaurants.
No matter what you preferences may be, you can find a
romantic bar with live music, or see an internationally
famous show, or dive into the dizzying laser beams and
colored lights where couples dance.stop. Typical of Acapulco
are the "Fiestas Mexicanas" with regional specialties
and Mariachi music.

Acapulco´s
Beaches |
Acapulco
has a number of attractions relating to the port´s
history, culture and traditions.
One of these is the Fort of San Diego, built in 1615 to
defend the city from pirates; today it houses a history
museum. The Cathedral, which is dedicated to Our Lady
of Solitude, has a Moorish-style dome and Byzantine towers.
The
enormous cross which can be seen from almost everywhere
belongs to the Capilla Ecumenica de la Paz (Ecumenical
Chapel of Peace), a church located in the Las Brisas housing
development. Finally, to end the day, there´s nothing
quite like watching the divers of La Quebrada who plunge
40 meters into a narrow sea inlet with shallow waters.
|
No
doubt the magic of Acapulco begins with its beaches, which
are ideal for water sports: skiing, windsurfing, jet skis,
sailing and the ever-popular parachute rides. From East
to West, take a ride along the bay and its environs. Caleta
is a small beach with calm waters and powdery sand, the
most popular beach among Acapulco locals. Near the docks
is an ideal beach for spending an afternoon: Hornos with
a wide strech of white sand and calm surf. Condesa is
the favorite beach for tourists and the most fun. Another
beach with moderate waves is Icacos, located near the
Naval Base. For those who prefer the open sea and tall
waves for surfing there´s Revolcadero. Whether you
prefer mild or heavy surf, much visited or practically
hidden, Acapulco begins with its beaches.

countless beach activities and games, a special world of
entertainment has been designed for them : Cici is the most-visited
aquatic park here. Featuring all the games that imagination
and water can create, kids (and kids-at-heart) can go from
a toboggan ride into the artificially generated surf, and
even experience the incomporable thrill of swimming with
the dolphins. At Parque Papagayo (Papagayo Park) the games
have been designed to the visitors' skill. Roller Gran Prix

No
matter how large or small your convention or meeting is,
or how important, Acapulco has everything to serve you royally,
Most large hotels have luxurious venues of all different
sizes, appropriate for conferences, congress, banquets and
even cultural events. All can provide additional services
such as computer rentals, telephone lines, office equipment
and any other backup equipment you may require. However,
if the event is a very large one and attendance is in the
hundreds or thousands, Acapulco´s International Convention
Center provides and enormous complex made up of five architecturally
striking buildings which intercommunicate with each other
through elegant plazas and walkways, surrounded by extensive
tropical gardens.
