This is a very nice property in Acapulco. It is well maintained and clean. I did not see any mold or have issues with the bed and was extremely clean and in good shape. The restrooms were clean and well maintained the ocean view was killer and it even withstood the earthquakes that passed through while I was visiting there. The pool area was also very nice and clean and well maintained. The only complaint I had was the $15.00 U.S. Dollars for the Breakfast Buffet, which was just not that great. I enjoyed my trip to the Crowne Plaza Acapulco and would stay there again.

Stayed at the Crowne Plaza from April 6 - 13 lets start from the begaining we landed in ACA at 7:45 pm got our luggage and made it through customs by 8:30 pm did not get to the hotel till 11:00 pm check in was quick but all the resturants were closed and after a long flight we were unable to get something to eat or drink even though we were AI. we had a jr suit on the 15th floor the room was nice and the view was good all rooms have a ocean view, but thier was no mini bar, fridge, or safes in the room as was stated. The pools were crowed but chairs and umprellas were easy to get, the beach was closed due to very high waves the surf was comming up to the resort and they put down sand bags to keep it out, they said that this kind of surf was unsual this time of year the streets flooded about 2 feet deep. THE FOOD was the worst that I have ever had at any resort and I have been to about 15 AI resorts in Mexico 2 nights the buffett for dinner did not even open and the AI program was only good from 11am to 11 pm and had lots of sur charges. To get a drink you still had to stand in a line to get a ticket and sign for it than take your ticket to the bar to get your drink it was a pain and not all drinks were inclulded but the main reason we picked this hotel was that it had a swin-up bar well it did but they where not serving anyone in the pool you had to get out and get a ticket., and everyone exepceted a TIP everyone had their hand out, I know these people don't make a lot of money and we tip anyway but this was uncalled for. We did the city tour it was ok the cliff divers are a must see. We spoke with others on the return trip home they and very good things to say about the HAYT , and the RITZ. To top off our vacation on friday the 13th about 1am we have a earthquake that was a 6.5 about 40 miles north of Acapulco then a after shock about 4am that was a 6.3 that was pretty scary up on the 15th floor rocking like a boat in rough water, thank god we were going home. To sum things up if you have been to LA well thats what ACAPULCO is like with out the HOLLYWOOD sign. Lots of traffic and over priced restruants and no one speaks english. If I was to go back I WOULD NOT STAY at the crowne plaza. But as someone else remarked been their, done that, won't do that again!! Bob and the Clevland gang, and Kim Carrie and Katie the photos are on their way see ya in PLAYA DEL CARMEN (thats the place to go)

just returned from a holiday of a lifetime to acapulco,mexico.we stayed at the crowne plaza right on the beachfront,will deffinately go back again,anyone else share the experiance??.to get to acapulco we took the long route via l.a and vegas but was well worth the travelling.one word of advice dont go in march as the spring breakers are all over the place,they didnt bother me but i could understand why some people complained as there are hundreds of them,thats all that was neg everything else pos!!and was not expensive either

We were there at the tale end of spring break 3/28 to 4/04. Probably an ok place if you are a spring breaker but there are far better places to stay for a family. The lobby and pool area were nice but the rooms are not the best. They were clean and we had good maid service (we always left a tip) but a little run down. Our toilet had to be fixed daily so it would flush. Breakfast buffet was a little expensive for our taste ($15.00) but the food was alright. You could get burgers and similar food around the pool area. The prices were ok and the food wasn't bad. We did not do the all inclcusive and never ate in the other hotel restaurants. I heard a lot of complaining about the all inclusive the entire time we were there. Stand in line to get a drink and you had to sign a slip before you could get the drink. Looked like a hassel. We rarely ordered drinks while pool side because of the prices ($6.00 for a very small margarita and $4.00 for a beer) but the servcie wasn't bad if you ordered from one of the waiters. Never any drink specials which we have always found at other Mexican resorts.

We ate at all the tourist type restaurants in town and found the food to be pretty good (Senor Frogs, Carlos and Charlie's, Hard Rock Cafe, etc). We found the food at a "Pirate" place to be excellent. It was called Barbaroja and was on the main drag. A little expensive but very large portions. The one thing I found to be disapointing was the lack of "fun" the staff at these restaurants tried to have with you. We simply ate and left. Similar restaurants in other Mexican tourist spots have went out of there way to show you a good time. This was why I wanted to eat at these restaurants but found them to be like any other restaurant in the states.

Not a lot of tourist type stuff to do. The sunset cruise was alright for the price becuase it was all you could drink. Bad time of year for fishing but we gave it a good run with our guide Narsisos. He works at the hotel and has a stand near the pool. He will negotiate a price and go above and beyond to try get you into fish.

We had a good time but I wouldn't go back to Acapulco. If I did, I would definately try a different hotel.
