Park Royal Acapulco, Acapulco

I just returned from Acapulco and I had the best time ever. Everything about this hotel i loved. I was there with my boyfriend and we had an amazing time. The view from our room was ok..but once we stepped out of our room it was beautiful. I loved the fact it had a private beach and the pools were great, not too crowded. Great food, drinks, staff, and most importantly it was very safe. The cleaniness of the room was excellent. I did not like that it was a little far from the main attractions but we managed to get around. I recommend this hotel to everyone!!!

My wife and I travelled from Boston. Airfare and the 1 week all-inclusive were 1200 U.S. each. The hotel was very clean. The food did get repetitive but we went out to some great restauraunts. The bars only had Corona for beer, which did not bother me as I do not drink beer. I was able to get Pina Coladas, Bananna and Strawberry Daquris as well as quite a few other drinks. I took 2000 U.S. to spend and came back with 1200. Before you get in a cab ask how much. It always cost us 50 pesos or 5 bucks. Most shops, taxis and restauraunts were 10/1 peso/dollar. If you shop around you can get 10.25-10.50/1 peso/dollar. I took 50 $1 bills for tips and should have taken 100. Yes, tips are included in the all-inclusive but I like to tip. $1 a day for the bartenders and waitstaff and 2 a day for houskeeping. The private beach is nice as when we went to some oublic beaches we were bothered by peddlers selling everything under the sun. Royal resorts recently purchased this hotel and they have timeshare salespeople all over. I told them first day I was not interested and they left me alone. They were very helpfull with getting tickets to anything you wanted, although you save 5-25 dollars doing it yourself. We went to the Sunday night bullfight (be warned, things go bad for the bulls, my wife and her girlfreind left immediately) I really was nervous going down, reading all the negative reports but I was very pleasently surprised and would recommend it to anybody. If you need more info email me at johnclem at mac dot com.

The front desk staff/ housekeeping if you have to call them are very rude. Most of the staff do not speak very good english, which is hard if you know little spaish. The room were average we had a nice view the food was okay but became repeatative after a couple of days. Although we did not become sick, we met a few people that said they did which is only hearsay. There is nothing to after about 6:00-6:30 pm. The pool bar and restaurant as well the snack place are all closed by then. There is no night entertainment, other than some karoke which is over by 11:00pm. There is o shuttle to the downtown area which is bustling all night long. You can even find restaurants that are open all night. This requires a taxi. This will cost you approx. 7-8 U.S. dollars one way. On the return you may be able to get a ride back for $5.00 U.S. The hotel is not bad there room for improvement starting with the front desk. WILL NOT EVER RETURN.

All inclusive is a great value. My husband and I just wanted to go some where and relax and this was perfect. Great margaritas, pina coladas, and strawberry daquiris, Corona. Three meals a day plus "snacks" which are hamburgers, pizza and nachos. Just be aware that things taste different than here in the U.S. You do lose the sun early though because the hotel is situated on a cliff. Brin bottled water (or but some at the WalMart downtown) Talk to the taxi drivers they are a great source of info. Staff was great, rooms clean, pool clean, beach clean, great family environment. We are planning to go back with our daughter!

We thouroughly enjoyed our visit to Park Royal. The atmosphere is nice and quiet. Love the fact that there are two pools, and they are not too busy. We stayed there last February and are going back this year.

The service horrible Rooms horrible Up-keep horrible Just dont even bother looking into it, the food made us sick, we moved rooms three times all horrible rooms. I can't even tell you how bad it was.

We enjoyed our stay at Park Royal. We already started to make plans to go back next year. We bought more time so we can get one of the new suites to accomodate more members of our family. The family environment was wonderful! Food was excellent, and we loved the location. The only recomendation we want to give the adiministration is to try to keep the swimming pool cleaner from dead insects. We realize that the pool is outdoors but more frequent clean up can do the work. Thanks for providing an encironment and site full of joy and memories for our family.

Okay, first off the hotels location was the only thing that was bad about the stay. It is located about 4 miles or so away from the main areas. You need to take the taxi every time you want to go down town for dinner or clubs, or other beaches. As for the good things...it is located on the beach so you can walk down from your room and be go into the ocean. There is also two pools and one which has a swim up bar and music that plays while you are sunbathing. They also have Cable Cars that bring you up from your room to the main lobby which are kind of different but fun. Service is good and your room is always cleaned when you need it. If you do go there, stop into where they have the activites in the main lobby and talk to Jorge Romierez; he works for the hotel and he helped us out the whole time we were there and became a good friend. There is a cab service that stays outside and ready for you at any point in time if you want to head down town. Also, there were two marriages that took place while i was there at the hotel. Overall, very nice and I would stay there again, i just wish it was closer to down town.

We just got back from Acapulco and thought our hotel was wonderful!! The staff was very helpful and friendly. Our room was perfectly air conditioned. The food is ok and there is enough variety for at least five days. We would recommend this hotel.
