Check your baggage and worries at the door and enter the lush, tropical word of the Fairmont Acapulco Princess. The hotel made Travel + Leisure's list as one of the Top 500 spots in the world and one of the Top 25 in Latin America, and with its 15-story, Aztec-inspired design (a giant mask adorns the floor tiles in the reception area), it's easy to see why! Just 20 minutes from downtown nightlife and rising impressively above the popular shores of Revolcadero Beach, the hotel, site of the annual Mexican Open tennis tournament, draws families and couples for fun in the sun.

What We'd Change
Sometimes the beach can get a little crowded--Revolcadero is seriously popular--but the more the merrier, and the crazier the party.

Hotel Description
Fairmont Acapulco Princess: Revolcadero Beach, New Championship Golf Course and Kids' Club
Check your baggage and worries at the door and enter the lush, tropical word of the Fairmont Acapulco Princess. The hotel made Travel + Leisure's list as one of the Top 500 spots in the world and one of the Top 25 in Latin America, and with its 15-story, Aztec-inspired design (a giant mask adorns the floor tiles in the reception area), it's easy to see why! Just 20 minutes from downtown nightlife and rising impressively above the popular shores of Revolcadero Beach, the hotel, site of the annual Mexican Open tennis tournament, draws families and couples for fun in the sun.
The Fairmont Acapulco Princess hotel sits on an impressive, 480 beachfront acres of one of the most popular beaches in Acapulco, so prepare for a non-stop beach party. If you want a quieter atmosphere, you'll find it at any of the five free-form pools, one with waterfalls and a lagoon. Swim up to either of the two bars for a shot of tequila and soak up the sunshine while the kids splash around. Hungry? Try the pasta at Tavola, or sit down to a sizzling steak at Posadita Steak & Seafood Grill. For a little music with your margaritas, head over to open-air Laguna Bar for Mariachi music and Latin-style tapas.
Parents traveling with kids appreciate time to themselves, which is why the Kids' Club is so awesome. Kiddos can sample the chocolate festival, hunt for treasure, and if you're staying anywhere from late Aug to early Dec, kids have a chance to release baby turtles raised at the hotel's turtle farm. Be sure to try out the five outdoor tennis courts (synthetic, hard and clay with Laikold surface) or tee off at the new Turtle Dunes Golf Course designed by Tripp Davis. Don't forget the resort's Willow Stream Spa is considered one of the best in Mexico. Grab a bite through the 24-hour, in-room dining and enjoy the private terrace or balcony in the Fairmont Room.
