This lively sun-drenched destination entered the limelight the moment Elvis Presley’s stunt double made a thrilling dive off the 136-foot cliffs at La Quebrada in the film Fun in Acapulco. Since then, Hollywood stars, and millions of visitors continue to arrive along Acapulco’s glistening shores.

Situated on gorgeous Acapulco Bay along the Pacific Ocean, this resort offers the perfect getaway for couples or families.
The city is divided into three zones: the north end, known as Old Acapulco; the main part of the bay, known as Zona Dorada (golden zone); and to the south, the sparkling Diamante (diamond) zone dotted with high-rise luxury hotels, bars, restaurants, and lively nightclubs.
Located 240 miles south of Mexico City, Acapulco still shares its vast treasures with pleasure-seeking vacationers drawn to its bountiful shores, wellness offerings, golf courses and entertainment options. Don’t miss the unique opportunity to watch La Quebrada Cliff Divers plunge head first into Acapulco’s shining seas.

Visit the Byzantine-style Cathedral Nuestra Senora de la Soledad, the historic Fort of San Diego and beautiful beaches including Caleta, Caletilla, and Manzanillo.
Take a trip to Pie de la Cuesta, a small seaside village north of Acapulco, and cruise the picturesque Laguna de Coyuca. Watch graceful La Quebrada Cliff Divers plummet headlong into Acapulco’s glistening seas.
