lovely time in Acapulco
We had a lovely time at the Grand Hotel Acapulco. One little hitch -- the hotel was only 9% occupied one day so they decided to perform maintenance on the air conditioner which required shutting it off. It got a little uncomfortable but was back on by 8pm. Very convenient to everything and a great beach.

NICE Hotel & Grounds, BUT
Hotel, Grounds and Restaurant were excellent, but the checking in process late at night was a Nightmare. I reserved TWO Rooms for my wife & I and for another couple traveling with us. When the clerk only gave me a access key for ONE Room, I asked about the key for the second room and she tells me the reservation only had for one room and then starts to tell me that they can provide a LARGE Roll- Away Bed for in our room ?!?! I asked het to check if the 2nd room was possibly listed another our friends names and it was NOT? Fortunately I printed my document that [...]provides (Showed I paid for 2 rooms and had all of our names on it) and showed it to them - all of a sudden another room was available and then all was fine.

Nice getaway
The newly renovated rooms are very nice. Not as large as the older rooms were. The restaurants are fairly good and we had a good stay. Because of the danger in Acapulco right now, we only went to the Walmart across the street for water and didn't go anywhere else in Acapulco. We have been there many times so just enjoyed the hot weather and relaxed.

Grand hotel
the beach and pool areas are beautiful!!!Despite what you hear,the tourist areas in Acapulco are safe and the beach and bay are great places just to hang.For those who keep kosher(like me) during the winter there is a kosher resturant and a synagogue.The hotel is currently being renovated so the rooms vary.I should mention, weather is greata nd the price is much lower then the Caribean!!

Short drive from hotel
Would recommend visiting the chapel with the cross. It would have the most beautiful view and very historic and beautiful chapel. You can take a short taxi drive away takes 30min to 60 min to tour no charge but a donation is very much appreciated.
