Acapulco seduces. There are many reasons: its thousands of views over its two bays, a guaranteed sunshine 365 days a year, a rich gastronomic tradition, golden beaches, -each with its own personality-, its hotel offer, its breeze, its unique sunsets and its people.
Not in vain this destination in the State of Guerrero, Mexico, was in the 50's the whim of many Hollywood stars... Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, Maria Felix, John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Elvis Presley, the Kennedys, Dali and even the Shah of Persia were captivated by this city located just three hours by road from Mexico City.
The fact that Acapulco is a destination where extremes meet is also evident in its nightlife. For those who prefer a quiet dinner, with the Santa Lucia Bay as a backdrop, the range of restaurants offered today in the so-called Diamond Zone (the newest in the city) is a good alternative. One option is the restaurant El Becco, on Avenida Escénica, where in addition to excellent Italian food, the relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere assures diners an unforgettable evening.
A similar experience is offered by the Bella Vista restaurant at Las Brisas Hotel. Here the view from the terrace is breathtaking. Well, so is the Tataki tuna, with black and white sesame crust, accompanied by soy sauce and wasabe cream. For those looking for something more lively, the best place to go is the Zona de la Condesa, where the bars on the beach come alive at night. La Langosta Feliz, Barbarroja, Mangos and Paradise are some of the places that transform Miguel Aleman Avenue into a hullabaloo of musical rhythms that enliven even the carriages with colored lights that swarm on that road at that hour. A few meters from there, for the nostalgic, is the legendary disco Baby'O, almost a trademark of Acapulco and a favorite of the national and international jet set. Here, it is best to arrive early.
