Best Things About the Resort:
Extremely clean, fantastically beautiful! The closest place to paradise.
Resort Experience:
Check-in was quick and easy. We had a beautiful three-bedroom unit, with all the features you could need for a comfortable week''s stay: a/c, three televisions with satellite, kitchenette, microwave, large bathroom, king-size bedroom, two comfortable sofas and furniture, and VERY CLEAN! The staff is friendly beyond reproach . . . everyone from the army of groundskeepers to the maids to the security personnel. Simply wonderful.
Check-in and -out were handled within minutes, and was very simple. Your wristband and room key (card) are all that''s needed while you''re at the resort.
Activities are numerous and truly fun. How many times do you get to see 230 two-day-old sea turtles released to the sea by YOUR resort?? Being outside the crowded area of Acapulco in the Diamonte Zone, the complex is perfect for relaxing, enjoying the beach, and simply unwinding.
The Mayan Palace is secluded, about a 20-minute ride to the city of Acapulco, but it is worth the ride. If you don''t want to stay in the center of town with the crowds at the other resorts, then the Mayan Palace is the place. I would like to suggest that if you stay at the Mayan, you will need a taxi if you want to leave the resort. Our taxi driver was Pepe. You should ask for him at the Palace. This fellow was great. We got to know him and when we wanted to go somewhere, he was always there for us and always came back to pick us up. He spoke excellent Engish and was very informative about Acapulco. Do ask for him.
You can charge everything to your credit card; at checkout, they send you an itemized statement -- fast and easy.
All the restaurants at this resort are "open air". We ate breakfast in a tropical storm with rain pouring down and we never got wet! You have experience it to beleive it! The restaurants(one seafood, the other mexican) are very good but expensive. But adding the taxi ride into town with the cheaper meal you can get it about evens out.
Activities are everywhere. Two pages everyday. This place is beyond belief, simply paradise. They have workers in the pools ALL DAY and there only job is to clean, ALL DAY they scrub and use nets to pick up trash and palm branches.
Sitting by the largest free form pool in the world with you own personal valet is the best! Food and drinks are brought to you by waiters who walk around all day getting you whatever you want.
One last thing: if you go see the cliff divers, do not -- and I repeat do not -- eat at the restrauant where they say you have an excellent view of the cliffs. It is a rip-off. We were very disapointed with the service and the food. If you want to see the divers, they have a place near the cliffs where people gather to watch them. I believe it is $2 to watch them, but it is a lot better then the restaurant. It was a wonderful, wonderful vacation.
