We loved the Hacienda Maria Eugenia! I've been to Acapulco 7 times and each time I passed this hotel I thought, oh, I'm lucky I don't have to stay in a cheap hotel, blah, blah, blah.... I had bought packages previously but my last trip in September there were no packages from Toronto so we had to book our flight and wing it with our hotel and we had limited funds. The room we had in this hotel was no only bigger but actually nicer than rooms we had stayed in at the highrise hotels that cost twice as much! The hotel itself is simple and just across the street from the beach (literally a 2 minute walk). The rooms are spacious, have little kitchenettes and the hotel has a restaurant with great room service! It's location is great - right on the costera near everything. Our room in Sept cost only $50 USD and that was split between 2 of us! I would definitely recommend the Hacienda Maria - you won't be disappointed!
