I have been to Quinta Erika several times.
It is always the same:
The cleanest rooms you can find in Guerrero.
The service and breakfast are awesome!
This hotel is not in the beach but you walk 8 minutes and you have the beach all to yourself.
Helmut, Erika and Coco (R.I.P) have allways been the most amazing hosts!
Yes, there are some minimal kind of wild animals...
If you don`t like nature and peace... don`t go to Quinta Erika!

If you’re looking for typical 5 stars, catered to, 5 star resorts like they have in New York City, then go to New York City. If you prefer loud speakers vibrating the items off your end table at 4 am, then go down town Acapulco. But for those who prefer a very nice relaxing vacation in a clean and beautiful setting, and without a personal butler, then Quinta Erika is for you. It is located about 20 minutes outside of down town Acapulco, on Barra de Coyuca, 8 km from Pie de la Cuesta, now on a much improved costal highway. Taxis are available to Acapulco for around 140 pesos, 5 - 6 pesos on a very interesting yet efficient public bus system. Small public vans can be taken to the end of the Barra or Pie de la Cuesta all day long for about 6 pesos, just go to the side of the road and raise your arm. Yes sometimes other passengers have a live chicken or a bag full of fresh fish on their lap, (seldom seen in New York).

The property has the nicest grounds on the entire Barra and is located on the lagoon side about half way down the Barra. A very short walk across the road brings you to an endless and very private beach, although swimming is not recommended due to he current and high waves. The B&B has 4 nicely appointed rooms, plus a fully functional, fully furnished, self containing bungalow. While in the rooms, you will enjoy a fantastic breakfast every morning. Las Panchita is about a 10 minute walk and is one of the finest and extremely clean restaurants in the area. There is also a nice, natural stone wading pool located amongst the palms with several loungers for relaxation. At the lagoon is a large patio over-looking a million dollar view. Half has a shaded area, and half is for sun bathers. This is the number one place to enjoy your first cup of morning coffee and watch the sun rise over a small mountain near Acapulco. This is also one of the best spots to enjoy a cuba libre (although every place is a good spot for a cuba libre). The hosts live on the property and are eager to assist you or answer your questions. Safety and security is never an issue at the Quinta Erika.

I was expecting a rustic, charming, romantic little place. Here's what I got instead: (1) Tiny lizard poops all over the bed. They were the size of grains of rice, and even when our room was cleaned, the poops reappeared soon thereafter. (2) Lots of bugs. The inn is not in the city, so I knew to expect some bugs and mosquitos, but I didn't expect thick spider webs all over the leaves and all around the hammocks. There were so many gnats and other bugs hovering over and around the lagoon that it made relaxing there impossible. (3) The lagoon itself was unappealing, slimy, unrefreshing. (4) They have a small pool on the property. It's pretty, but just try sitting in it. The inescapable smell of some kind of animal poop (horse?) wafts all over you. (5) Just as we were going to bed on our last night there, an enormous cockroach made its way across the floor. This thing was huge! And I live in a major US city and have seen some big roaches. My husband was able to trap and kill it, but I could not sleep that night for fear of what other creepy crawly thing might appear.

The breakfast (included) is okay, but far from stellar. The rooms' windows are screened but have no glass, and the rooms are located closely to one another and to the main house, so don't make any noise you wouldn't want anyone else to hear! The shower in the bathroom is tiny and dark - I avoided it and went for the outdoor shower instead. It's only cold water, but it's refreshing on hot days. But overall, I felt this place was unclean. When I got to our next hotel, i had to take two long showers to get all the grime from this place off myself.

If you're looking for a budget-type lodging, this is an option. I would probably have liked it fine in my backpacking, hostel-staying days, if I were traveling with a friend and not a romantic partner.

The property is across the street from a quiet beach. It's not the prettiest beach, but it's secluded and pretty clean. Getting dinner is pretty inconvenient. You'll need a car, or there's one place down the road, about a 15-20 minute walk each way, that's on the beach and has pretty good food and cold beer. It was okay for us, but the walk might be a bit much for older folks or little kids.

Also of note: What they charge you for transportation is pretty inflated. But you're at their mercy because, like the other reviewer said, it's difficult (or impossible) to get a cab on your own.

One final thing: This place is not in Acapulco. It's about an hour out of town, basically in Pie de la Cuesta. So it's pretty boring. I'm not a big "doer" on vacations - I like to laze about on the beach, mostly - but I still found this place boring. Maybe because there was not any spectacular scenery to "entertain" me.

Sitting in nearby Pie de la Cuesta village, some 8 kms west of busy Acapulco, this large homestead is nestled between a quiet and beautiful lagoon and the Pacific Ocean. You can stroll around the magnificent extension of the Quinta or swim in its cosy pool, or head directly to the beach (open and a bit imposing).
Breakfasts are huge and tasty and the buildings have been restored in line with local tradition. The owners are friendly and ready to help with any need. I stayed in a separate bungalow a few meters away from the main building, next time I think I would prefer one of the rooms in the middle of the property, closer to the reception and the hotel facilities.
You can explore the lagoon or the friendly beaches nearby, and of course you can drive ten minutes to hectic Acapulco to enjoy its touristic attractions... but that was not my plan.

We spent 3 nights at Quinta Erika and loved it. We were looking for an out of the way, quiet place to unwind from work and recharge batteries. This was the place.

Quinta Erika is located 20 minutes or so North of Acapulco. There are buses that go by, but we have a car so made travel easy. There is WiFi on the property but it is located near the office enabling us to check our "work" and personal emails/facebook etc in the morning and then use the rest of the day to either read or go into Acapulco. There are no tv's so prepare yourself to relax and enjoy being away from it all, just birds and a couple of horses walking about.

The breakfasts were wonderful, plentiful, delicious and beautifully prepared and served.

One of the days Erika arranged for a masseuse to come out to Quinta Erika and 2 of us enjoyed a wonderful relaxing massage. I highly recommend this to any one.

There is a restaurant (Panchito) within easy walking distance (about 500 meters) and we enjoyed a light dinner on the beach and watched the sunset. They do close around 6 but let us in any way. Every one in the area is very nice.

There is also the beach that goes on for miles just across the street. There was only a couple of other people on it when we were there so it is basically private. The sunset was amazing and we enjoyed our stroll along the beach and watching the beautiful sunsets.

One small note ... there is no hot water. It is actually very refreshing and a great way to cool off after the hot day before bed.

The hosts of Quinta Erika are wonderful, friendly and very helpful. I recommend this B&B if you are looking for some peace and quiet.
