Fairmont Acapulco Princess

Frommer's Review

The famous Princess hotel has been fully renovated and once again reigns as Acapulco's leading resort. Sitting on 480 beachfront acres of tropical gardens, pools, and golf courses, it's as wonderful for families as for couples seeking romance. Guest rooms are housed in three 15-story buildings shaped like Aztec pyramids, with modern Mexican decor and terraces with views of the ocean, gardens, or golf course. Five beautiful free-form pools, including a saltwater lagoon dotted with waterfalls, are surrounded by gardens with 750 plant species and swans, flamingos, and other tropical birds. The wide beach offers many watersports activities, including parasailing, deep-sea fishing, scuba diving, water-skiing, and sailing. The kids' club focuses on beach and pool activities and is one of the best you'll find. The resort also offers world-class tennis, golf, and spa facilities, and enough dining and entertainment options to obviate your need to leave the facility. A free shuttle runs between the Princess and quieter Pierre Marqués next door.

Facilities: 5 restaurants; deli; 5 bars; 5 outdoor pools; Willow Stream spa; fitness center; championship golf course; 8 outdoor lighted tennis courts and 2 indoor tennis courts; water sports activities; kids' club; concierge; shopping arcade; room service; laundry service.
