Acapulco

Ok let's start with the positives, yes that was plural - the cleaners come everyday and do a great job, and it is exceptionally close to La Quebrada.

Now, firstly this is by no means a hotel, this is a motel at best. There are small rooms and a pooling a tiny reception. Let's start with the pool... So the pool is reasonable in size for what you pay for, however it is just placed at the end of a car park, there are no beds/chairs near the pool and nowhere to put towels and belongings let alone beds/chairs. The rooms as I said were small and stuffy. If you open the windows for fresh air at night you hear music from a bar opposite playing throughout the night, I wouldn't mind but I never saw more than a few people in there at any time and the music was excessively loud. If you're looking to party I would avoid the place, and anyway if you are looking to party good luck, the strip is the otherside of Acapulco. If you do manage to party hard throughout the night then be warned if you decided to leave those windows open you will be woken be kids playing in the early hours of the morning. If you somehow managed to survive the night with your windows shut then you should be knighted because there is no air con just a giant fan on the ceiling which to get any sort of benefit from it has to be up full so be prepared to meet the worlds noisiest fan, I struggled to decide what was noisiest at times between the huge fan of the empty bar. I'd like to also add that my mosquito blind had a hole in so I had to opt for the window shut approach to avoid bugs but invite profuse sweating. The layout of the room is dreadful, you have to walk through the shower to the toilet, so if you've had a shower in the last hour and need the toilet prepare to walk your wet feet through the room. Also there was nowhere to hang your towel/clothes while you showered or anywhere to hang wet items. The TV had three channels and only one actually had a picture. I'm pretty sure I didn't actually meet a member of staff it was always just cleaners in aprons. In the room there were three plugs- one on the ceiling which had the fan plugged in. One on the ceiling which had the TV plugged in. One next to the sink presumably for shavers/hair driers. Now unless you have a flying mobile phone you will have to opt for the sink based plug, meaning yes I had to charge my stuff in the sink, the other side of the room from where I slept. Nobody speaks a word of English in the hotel, not a problem, I respect that but I wish hotels would state things like that on their websites instead of inviting unsuspecting foreigners in to hell. It took the taxi driver a while to find it too as it's not well known, is the opposite side of Acapulco to the airport, and Avenida means street so is easily confused. I'm just being picky now but the key for the room is excessively big too. I tried to book a new hotel after my first night here but did I mention that the wifi is shocking so I couldn't even do that. Other than that it was marvellous.
