Acapulco
Acapulco Travel Guide
You've got to give Acapulco credit for staying power. After falling out of favor with the international jet set, this not-so-hot spot is heating up again. Its high-rise hotels are being restored to their former grandeur, its restaurants are getting noticed by the critics, its famous nightlife scene is jumping again, and its pollution-plagued beaches have been given a thorough scrubbing. Worlds more sophisticated than Cancún, Acapulco draws a wide range of people, though you're bound to find more party animals than fresh-faced families here. But most people who make their way to this undeniably beautiful bay spend their days lying around on colorful towels or napping in hammocks, a fruit-flavored drink nearby. For those who can rouse themselves to do some sightseeing, the silver city of Taxco, 185 mi north of Acapulco, beckons.
