Frommer's Exceptional

This is a local landmark dating from 1957, often considered Acapulco's signature hotel. On a hillside with the best bay views of any hotel in Acapulco, Las Brisas is known for its tiered pink stucco facade, private pools, and 50 pink Jeeps rented exclusively to guests. The retro guest rooms are like separate villas sculpted from a terraced hillside, with panoramic views of Acapulco Bay from a balcony or terrace, as well as a private or semiprivate pool. They have been upgraded and retain the beloved "Las Brisas" style with pink and stone walls, whitewashed wood furnishings, flatscreen TVs and DVD players, and marble bathrooms. Early each morning, continental breakfast arrives in a cubbyhole. The spacious Regency Club rooms, at the apex of the property, offer the best views. In case you tire of your own pool, Las Brisas runs a beach club less than a kilometer (a half-mile) away, on Acapulco Bay; continuous shuttle service departs from the lobby. Mandatory service charges cover the shuttle service and all tips. Facilities: 2 restaurants; deli; private beach club w/fresh- and saltwater pools; 4 lighted tennis courts; gym; concierge; guest-only tours and activity program; tour desk; Jeep rental for $81 (£41) per day; shopping arcade; salon; room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning.
