the building is horribly run down, the pool is the size of a backyard pool, the rooms weren't clean, and the staff was rude. The cab drivers did not even know how to find the hotel, it was nowhere near the beach. I had know idea there were hotels like this in acapulco but apparently there are. Do not stay here if you want to stay at a hotel that is even approaching sanitary. Liberty travel led us to believe this would be an acceptable place to stay. it is definitely not

My brother and I were there from Jan. 3 to Mar.3 2006. We had a great time.Met alot nice people. The rooms clean.the staff very friendly and helpful.
The buffet breakfast is simple and some Mexican foods.
lunch is not specail but there is always something for everyone. Dinner is different each night a differt
specail night repeating each week.You can always find something. we went out to some other places to eat.
AS A FEW OTHER REVIEWS STATED THE FOOD IS NOT TO GOOD BUT I SURVIED 2 MONTHS I ALWAYS FOUND SOMETHING I LIKED.
We are plannig to back in 2007 we left a few items behind in storage

Gee we went to the Tropicana 3 years ago.
The room was basic and resonably clean.
The gardens and pool were wonderful
The food was a disaster. Cake from the Walmart next door just doesn't quite cut it. I don't think my wife will every eat rice again. The buffet then was poor
Drinks were include, but not much else. Also sky service flight was not that great either kinda tight, alot of delay. We went with family, I found Acapulco to be more Adult oreinted for partiers

I agree with the last review. My sister and I visited on February 24th and we were reluctant to leave the bus as well. I normally travel to 5* hotels, so this was really showing as a 2*. The room was okay, a little nervous because we were two girls and the room did not have a dead bolt, but we did not ever have any problems. We lived out of our suitcases all week and kept them locked when not in the room. The water worked in the bathroom, the airconditioning worked and there were no bugs in our room. It was a convenient location to Walmart (for water), the beach (across the street) and central to most of the bars and restaurants. This hotel is like a Melrose Place, a small community, where you get to know the guests and the staff. The food got better as the week went on and the french toast is awesome, no syrup required!

We met so many great people and partied at Copacabana during the day and wherever the tour companies were going at night. Being the beginning of Spring Break, there was a lot of activity. However, the bars charge full price to women and men, anywhere from $28 - 40 U.S., which includes all of your drinks. You should be able to take a bug taxi for $1U.S. or 10 peso's up and down the strip and that includes to the clubs. The locals really try to rip you off, negotiate, negotiate! When coming home from the clubs though, expect to pay $5U.S. We went to Mango's for dinner and it was a beautiful place to eat and the only real food I had the whole trip. My sister is 19 and I am 32 and we had a blast together and the disco's were awesome. Must visit Palladium at least once and stay until 4:30am for all of the shows. The hotel was better than initially thought, looks can be deceiving and at least we could go for a swim after the disco, unlike most of the other hotels!
