Acapulco vacations and resorts are the most visited of all Mexican destinations. The large city offers many activities and shopping outlets. The luxury resorts of Acapulco are built into the hillsides of a city overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the wonderful sunsets.

Acapulco is unlike many of the other Mexico vacation destinations because the coastline is filled with seaside cliffs and acrobatic high divers instead of the usual white sand beaches. The large city of Acapulco has a noticeable contrast between the luxury resorts along the coast and the slums filling the hillsides. The few beaches available in Acapulco are often crowded and full of vendors trying very hard to sell their wares. For this reason, many luxury resorts in Acapulco are self-contained playgrounds for wealthy foreign travelers.
