Acapulco beaches are great. Must take care if you are not a good swimmer because of high surf nad undertow. Eating places there expensive and not so nice. More

This is the gay beach in Acapulco. It is very nice and attracts many tourists from Canada, and Mexico City. It is located next to Betos restaurant. Ask for Juan and Marisol. They have taken care of me for 15 years. They watch over your personals, etc. More

This is a busy area, with lots of peddlers. The waves can be quite strong at times. I saw a lady almost drown in front of the Crowne. Her husband couldn't fight the undertow to help her, and two locals pulled her out. More

The weekends on this particular beach tend to be very crowded but as long as you get down there by 11am you should have no trouble getting a spot under a shaded canopy or Palapa. This is a good location for watersports Banana boats, Wave... More

I've been visiting Playa Condesa for almost 25-years now, and it remains my favorite beach in Acapulco. My most recent visit was April, 2006. It's been, for many years now, considered Acapulco's most "high class" beach - one that's the least congested of the beaches in the city center (as compared to outlying areas), and a wide-range of services are...

We went there in August, maybe this could be an influence. Even when the springbreak and high-season were over, this beach is overcrowded and full of vendors. You can not get a chair here, unless you pay some beach-overloard $6 and buy him some drinks. This is true even when you are in a hotel like Fiesta Americana (where we... More
