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 place

Great hotel for the price!! We found the service good. No problems with check-in or our bill. Our room was pretty large and clean. Great outdoor resturant and bar. The breakfast buffet on weekend was great!! Nice pool setup too. One small negative about this hotel was it was dated and could use a renovation. It becomes obvious why its not a Hyatt anymore. All and all a nice place I would go again!

Sightseeing tip: 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.

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.

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.

We Keep Comin' Back

We love this hotel and keep returning every year. The staff is really great.... friendly and very helpful. Our only problem with the amenities is that there is nothing to do at night. They used to have a band at the bar but this year they were only there a few nights out of the 12 that we stayed.

Grand Acalpulco Hotel

The hotel bathrooms needs alot of work to be done...the tiles are cracked and very dangerous in tub areas and caulking is much needed....the views were good from the room..the restaurant at the hotel that overlooks the beach is nice but way overpriced for the dinner...would never recommend this hotel to anyone!!!! Much nicer hotels on the beach and newer.
