After having been to almost every country in Western and Esastern Europe , 5 countries in Asia, 4 in South America , Canada the US and 4 states in Mexico; finally I found paradise! Casa Condesa is managed by the most caring and charming host. All the attendants are extremely helpful and ready to serve. The answer to any request is alway YES! The facility is gorgeous. Very unique arquitecture, sorrounded by lots of green, the ocean view from the terrace is spectacular, especially during sunset. The breakfast is served whenever you are ready to have your first meal and it is delicious! The atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed, the background music is soothing and creates an atmosphere that swept me off my feet.
Dinner is a great time to meet the other guests and share experiences. From the moment I arrived at Casa Condesa, I felt home. In one week I made more friends and shared more with other gay guys than in 10 years in Los Angeles, CA. After writing this review I realize that my comments are unfair because there are no words to really describe the awsome experienced at Casa Condesa. Thank you Madam James and beautiful Ms. Cupcake.

I`ve been to Casa Condesa 5 times and it`s definately my favorite gay spot in all of Mexico.
The place is very informal and laid back and the staff makes you feel at home right away. It`s close to the gay beach and bar`s. In fact, i rarely use a taxi when at the Casa .
They serve breakfast whenever you want till 1pm. The guests can also have dinner with the owner Jamie (originaly from Dallas, who opened the place 10 year ago) and the general manager Bernado (a fairly affluent mexican who knows acapulco inside out). Both are very friendly, personnable and interesting. Dinnertime is also a privilleged moment to get to know the other guests, share experiences of the day and hopes of the evening and night to come.
A very unique place that must be experienced.

From my first contact with James (the owner) when I was inquiring about rates and availability, right to the moment he dropped me off at the airport, he was warm and welcoming.

The Casa Condesa provides a very unique experience! You enter through a small door off the street and then up the stairs to a lush tropical garden and pool area. James introduced me to the other guests and offered me a welcome cold beer. Bernado (the General Manager) is very welcoming and available to answer questions. Staying at Casa Condesa is more like staying in a friend’s house than staying in a hotel. Ira cooks a great breakfast, James and Bernado cook a wonderful dinner each night. Dinner is served under the thatched roof on the balcony overlooking Acapulco. James and Bernado genuinely enjoy getting to know you. They also have great stories about Acapulco!

My room was well appointed with king bed (very comfortable), air conditioning, cable TV, and DVD.

Casa Condesa is very well located. Just a few blocks away from the gay beach, great restaurants, shopping mall, and gay clubs. James and Bernado will definitely give you the must do’s in Acapulco.

I am already looking forward to my next stay at Casa Condesa.

I wasn´t sure where to stay when I went to Acapulco for a gay holiday. First, I went to Villa Roqueta, which I wouldn´t personally recommend unless you like isolation. This place used to be Gloria Gaynor's luxury pad, but it is now a sleepy luxury boutique retreat, some 40 minutes from all the gay action. Okay if you want to write a book, but not ideal for people who want to enjoy Acapulco's hot gay life.

I checked out some other gay guesthouses, but, boy was I glad when I found Casa Condesa (www.casacondesa.com). It´s a gay-owned guesthouse for gay men. It caters for all age ranges.

It is ideally located, being only 10 minutes walk from Betos gay beach and all the gay bars.

What´s more, the noise of traffic from the main Costera dies away when you enter through the front door. Casa Condesa consists of 8 private rooms individualy and richly decorated in a Bohemian style, set across several levels of dense tropical foliage.

There are several communal areas, the swimming pool where you can swim naked if you desire, sun bathing areas (nude permitted), the kitchen area and an upstair rooftop terrace, shaded by palapas, where you can read many good books, enjoy a meal, or watch the best sunsets in the world, as the sun sets over Acapulco Bay.

I found James, the owner, and his small team of staff to be incredibly warm and attentive.

There is a sign upon entry that simply says Mi casa es su casa, meaning My house is your house. There is another sign, saying Familia. I can genuinely say that I felt like part of a small and friendly family.

A unique feature of Casa Condesa is absolutely free of charge phone calls to anywhere in the world. Phone your mother in Finland or your boyfriend in Canada to let them know what a good time you´re having in Acapulco.

10 minutes away is Betos beach, situated below the huge monolith of Fiesta Americana Hotel. It´s a narrow beach, of breadcrumb, yellow sand and a tempestuous ocean which is often, but not always, safe for swimming.

There are some palapas above the shoreline with tables and red tablecloths. It is here that all the gay guys - from USA, Canada, England, France, Holland, Germany, Argentina, Brazil congregate.

Best of all are the Mexican guys - forget ´Northern´ countries´ sang froid (cold blood), we found the Mexican guys to be unreservedly warm and friendly and very open and approachable about homosexuality.

There are a number of gay discos nearby to Casa Condes, Betos and Boy´s Club and some other newer ones. You can ask for addresses at Casa Condesa.

Casa Condesa also has a guy called Aldo who gives very good, professional and therapeutic massages, to relieve all those aching muscles are partying.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner were excellent here.

I would not fail to recommend the guesthouse to anyone intending to visit Acapulco.

I´ve visited Cancun and Key West for gay holidays, and whilst Cancun was okay, and Key West was expensive and busy, I prefer Acapulco any day. It´s a true Mexican experience, where gay life is easily accessible.
