Fodor's Expert Review Parador del Sol

Carretera Pie de la Cuesta–Barra de Coyuca, Km 5, Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Germans and Canadians favor this low-key, all-inclusive resort's white villas scattered throughout gardens along both the lagoon and the Pacific Ocean sides of Carretera Pie de la Cuesta. The ocean is particularly dramatic here, with towering waves. The spacious rooms have tile floors and fan-cooled terraces with hammocks. In addition to all meals, comprising Guerrero specialties served buffet-style, including red snapper and tamales, rates include the occasional on-site music and dance performance, aerobics classes, tennis, and nonmotorized water sports. Motorized water sports cost extra.

PROS

  • peaceful, lovely beach
  • pricey for what you get

CONS

  • a trek to downtown by car
  • rough ocean limits swimming
