We went in October of this year and we were blown away by the beauty of the hotel. The rooms we clean and our private pool was beautiful. The people were very friendly and helpful. Stay in a room in the 400's if you want privacy. They need more resturants and more variety on their room service menu. Other than that.... one of the best vactions we ever had

Service is impeccable. Atmosphere is wonderful. I love the midcentury decor and architecture. It looks like they're slowly refurbishing it; some things seemed just redone (like the bathroom) while others (like the cushions on the pool furniture) were a little weathered. Our room was a free-standing bungalow with private patio and pool overlooking Acapulco Bay and the city. View was breathtaking. Lovely shower with stone walls, tiled sunken floor and rainfall shower head. Fresh hibiscus flowers in the room every day. Breakfast delivery door is genius.
Beach club has a saltwater pool open to the ocean with tropical fish living in it, and a regular pool with swim up bar. There is poolside drink/snack service and a restaurant.
The food options at the hotel leave a bit to be desired. Bellavista is the only dinner option and though it has top-notch service and a pretty good wine list (and an amazing view), the food itself was only ok. It's the kind of food to hit you over the head with the fact that you're paying a lot, too much sauce, too much meat, not enough vegetables. Room service is fast and pretty good, but pricey even for room service. The hotel is a quick but expensive cab ride away from Acapulco proper for other dining options. There are also equally pricey fancy restaurants within walking distance but the busy narrow highway doesn't seem that safe for pedestrians.
Know what you're booking

Make sure, if you crave privacy, you book a casita at least on the 4th level. Private pool does not equal privacy. It is worth the extra money, in my opinion. Hotel is on a very busy & dangerous main street. Taxis from hotel are more expensive (sometimes $30/hour!). Use blue & white VW taxi's, if possible. Excellent staff; efficient, friendly, helpful. Buy supplies, food, snacks, beer, etc. from WalMart or another of Acapulco's large grocery markets (mercado). Speak Spanish whenever possible. Make sure to ask 'how much' ahead of time (taxi's, souvenirs, etc.)
Best Hotel Ever

I was astounded at how fortunate we were to arrive in such a beautiful place without knowing anything about it before booking. It was a surprise for my husband for a special birthday and I couldn't have been more pleased with everything about Las Brisas. The room was oustanding; we loved the private pool and the service was fantastic. Views from our room, the Sunset Bar and the restaurant were unparalleled. The meals at the Bellavista restaurant were a bit pricey but very elegant and delicious. We can't wait to go back.
