"Acapulco Then and Now"

An August 2003 trip to Acapulco by stagehand16

The Acapulco "Mayan Palace", recently featured as one of the best timeshare properties, seemed to be the perfect place for our summer vacation.

Mayan PalaceBest of IgoUgo

Hotel | "Mayan Palace Resort"

The Acapulco Mayan Palace property was very nice, the staff was very professional and courteous, and overall, everything was what we expected. We liked it so much, we upgraded our timeshare to the "Grand Mayan," soon to be opened.

Restaurant | "Kukkaburra Restaurant"

The expectation of wonderful Mexican seafood cuisine in reality was a meeting of the red sea and the yellow river sauces. Not even Chuck Heston could have parted the sea of sauces, they were so heavy and overpowering.

The 'sea of sauce' did little to hide the lack of freshness and very small portions, even by California standards. The one soft shell crab appetizer was deep fried and cost $18. And it went down from there, or rather, the bill went up from there. I have to say, we live in San Francisco and have experienced some of the best prepared seafood in the world, and if this is one of the best restaurants in Acapulco. . . Ordering Pizza from Domino's would be better!!!!!!

Attraction | "Snorkeling Trip"

The company provided free transportation to and from the resort to the shop. The staff was very prompt and provided courteous service and new, well-maintained equipment. An English speaking guide, who accompanied us in the water, was also provided as part of the snorkeling adventure. This made it one of the best "snorkeling" trips we have ever done.
