Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

The refined Fairmont Pierre Marqués is both more exclusive and relaxed than the famous Fairmont Princess next door, to which guests also have access. It once served as a private home for J. Paul Getty and is today one of Acapulco's most prestigious hotels. Together, the Pierre Marqués and the Princess offer more activities than you are likely to have time for, with three pools alone at the Pierre Marqués, a beautiful Pacific beach with watersports activities, championship golf, tennis, and a state-of-the-art spa and fitness center. Luxurious guest rooms include villas, bungalows, and low-rise pavilions overlooking the pools, tropical gardens, or beach. Fine dining is available here or at the Princess, with a shuttle regularly connecting the two hotels. Service throughout the hotel is outstanding. The Fairmont lies in Diamante, about a 20-minute drive from the center of Acapulco. Facilities: Restaurant; cafe; 2 bars; 3 outdoor pools; health club and spa; championship golf course; 5 outdoor lighted tennis courts (10 additional courts at Fairmont Princess, including 2 indoor courts); concierge; gift shop; deli; room service; laundry service.
