Fairmont Acapulco Princess
Large hotel and a golf course
Back to Fairmont Acapulco Princess
This place was wonderful. Yes the current can be strong especially in the morning but it is a very beautiful place. I met a lot of people and the staff was wonderful. Everything was clean, beautiful and the people were very friendly and helpful.

this place is awesome for familys with young kids or a newlywedd couple, ive been coming for years and years with my family, they offer 6 pools and a lagoon that has a slide which was huge when i was little now haha not so much, as far as the stay theres always something you can do if you dont want to leave the hotel, there are plenty of restaurants chula vista breakfast buffet is awesome,the rooms are comfortable and and ive been in all types of their rooms except the top floor suites. they still allow you up there which makes for awesome pictures of the coastline and sunset. if you like to golf they have 2 top notch golf courses that can be windy.. they have a teen hang out place that has really come a long when ive seen the hotel gradually change its been quite amazing the transformation they have done it a few short years. they also have a arcade room that has definitely been upgraded they have day time activities for kids if you want a little alone time. like painting turtle races bingo, group activities like volleyball and boardgames the only thing that they should up grade which is still a nice place is their "club" its a small little salsa joint that usually gets semi busy on weekends they have a mini movie theatre set up that can be inside or outside this hotel has a lot to offer for all types of people can get a little expensive but now that ive paid for the trip a couple times i believe its more than well worth it

The Princess has a great location away from the city. We wanted more a more relaxing environment than the throngs of people in the city. It was clean, comfortable and the service was great. The prices were high for meals, but we preferred to stay at the resort rather than fight the traffic into town.

My wife and I have stayed at this hotel several years ago and had a wonderful experiance. The staff was very accommodating, our room was clean and spacious, the food was exquisite and we really enjoyed sitting in the lobby outdoor lounge at night and having drinks with live music.

What I loved about the hotel was it had a beautiful view,five-star food,and how close it was to the beach.I loved it so much and I would love to take my kids there someday because they would love to see all of the exotic things that I saw.I liked how the room was clean and comfortable.I thought the trip was magical and my big dream to go to your hotel came true.

Just came back from 6 days at this place. Absolutely wonderful service, cleanliness, facilities, and location.

We were enchanted by the Acapulco Princess. The atmosphere is relaxed and very much like a tropical oasis; the decor and the menagerie on site contribute to a well conceived idea. Our room was spacious, clean and well appointed and the view was unmatched, I'm sure. The wrap around veranda really "made it", views of the ocean and the golf course under overhangs just large enough to provide some shade and sliding plantation shutters to allow you to adjust your privacy. This facility is a little tired and can use some paint and some power washing, but now that its off-season perhaps that is what they have planned..?

Check - in was upsetting because my husband and I paid for a king bedroom and they said they didn't have any at check -in. We went with some family and they all got two double beds in their rooms. Well come to find out they gave our nephews a king bedroom suite and my husband and I a double bedroom. But, despite that, the hotel views are awesome !!!

In my opinion, this hotel offered the worst all-inclusive package I've ever had. There is no entertainment to speak of -- no music at the pools and no music in the evenings, except for a small "traveling" group which was not what one would expect from a hotel such as this. There is nothing to do in the evening unless you leave the resort. In this package, free drinks (including soft drinks) are from 11 AM until midnight. The staff never quite understood this and was charging up until noon or after 11 PM. Before ordering anything, we found that we had to ask, "is this included in our all-inclusive" price?" We traveled with a large group, and every meal was chaos as the staff tried to figure out which person belonged in which room. The service was terrible. One night when food was ordered off the menu instead of using the buffet, it took nearly an hour to get the ordered food. The staff didn't really seem to care. Most frustrating was the fact that the hotel advertises a "Club." We went during spring break (Sunday PM-Friday AM) and upon arrival were told that the club was closed every night except Friday and Saturday. Our nine young adults didn't even get to see the "club." We would have chosen another hotel had we been made aware of this. Funny thing was that we made our reservations with one of the people at the front desk who knew the dates we were traveling and our excitement about the club, neglecting to mention that we would never have the opportunity to use it. On a positive note, the grounds, as advertised, are beautiful, the pools awesome and the rooms are large and very clean. Very importantly, we all felt pretty safe on the hotel grounds. Overall, the food was as good or a bit better than the other all-inclusive hotels I've stayed at.
