Fairmont Acapulco Princess Review

The famous Princess hotel has been fully renovated and again reigns as Acapulco's leading resort, with 192 beachfront hectares (480 acres) of tropical gardens, pools, and golf courses. 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, and there's an excellent kids' club. 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. In late 2008, the Fairmont "Pearl" opened as a luxury annex to the Princess, targeting hip, urban couples looking for a place to "see and be seen." Chic guest rooms colored in brilliant blues, magentas, and light greens feature plasma TVs, 350-count Egyptian cotton sheets, and beautiful bathrooms with rain showers and Miller Harris amenities. The Pearl Tower features its own lobby, concierge services, and swimming pool, and its guests have access to all the facilities at the Princess and the Pierre Marqués.

Facilities:
5 restaurants; 5 bars; kids' club; concierge; 2 championship golf courses; fitness center; 5 outdoor pools; room service; Willow Stream spa; 8 outdoor lighted tennis courts and 2 indoor tennis courts; watersports activities

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
