The sun setting over the bay of Marques is a sight to behold. Situated amongst the less…read moreinternationally touristy areas, this is the alternative to Acapulco, much more affordable, less tourist traps, with all the amenities you could want; a lounging pool, sunbathing areas, showers, a proper swimming pool, and an infinity pool above which overlooks the bay. The hotel also has a cute little tiki bar that serves breakfast & lunch, as well as tropical cocktails at a reasonable price. Comparatively it's more expensive in Acapulco proper for similar drinks. The hotel is situated on the side of a hill, the vantage simply cannot be beaten and you're also not inundated with viewing 100s of resorts littering the beautiful coastline. Oh and the hotel has air conditioning, which can be a godsend in the humidity at night. Cleanliness of the hotel exceeded my expectations, though of course it's not without the charms of tropical afflictions. Mildew being the main culprit here. While it may seem like an off-brand Acapulco, assuredly the sights and price point speaks for itself. Terrazas was about half the price of comparable hotels on the bay of Acapulco. Acapulco itself is just a cab ride away, to those so inclined. While I do think that Acapulco has a better shopping scene and more tourist activities, I was content with wandering the modest strip of Marques, purchasing from local vendors and eating the some of the finest fresh caught seafood I've ever had. If you're envisioning the allure and lustre may be lost staying in Marques instead of Acapulco, having seen and done both, Marques has just as much to offer in terms of sheer beauty... and if a more local flair than the culturally amorphous Acapulco (I'm looking at you too, Cancun and Cabo) suits your fancy, this is an absolute winner.

And btw soda in Mexico does not have high fructose corn syrup they use sugar and splenda(sucralose) if that matters. You may walk a lot and notice that the locals are hard working, you'll have a alluring blue water beach with natural colored sand and warm water.And the most perfect Sunset, which is a breath taking movie set scene.The night sky is starry and you'll be kissed by a cool fresh breeze. Acapulco is a MUST for all! Its Natural, Relaxing beauty.

Mr. Carlos Alegria picked up my friend and myself from the airport in Acapulco, took us to our…read moreresort, and was at our service anytime we called him. He was wonderful in educating us on the Tour of the Ruins that we took. I learned so much about the Mexican Culture that day! Carlos was always gentlemanly and extremely helpful in making sure my friend and I were comfortable during our stay in Acapulco. If you ever need a driver, "Mr. Happiness" is the man to call! You can find Carlos on Facebook under "touracawithhappiness" if you want to book with him. Superb!!

Terrible service. Requested wheelchair assistance upon arrival, no one was there to help from the…read moremoment the plane arrived to Acapulco airport to the moment I got to baggage claim. Legally, at declaration with immigration, you declare cash over $10k and new merchandise worth over $500. We brought 2 new shirts, worth probably $50 for both and we had to pay $1000 pesos!! They were charging some people $2000 pesos when they just had 1 check in carry on with personal used clothes. These people just LOVEEE to steal money for no reason, they did not give me a receipt or anything to document the $1000 pesos I had to pay. It has happened multiple times but this time there was worst service than any other time. If airport is not equipped with staff or professional people, just SHUT THE AIRPORT DOWN PLEASE.

The bust didn't show up until 11:30 a.m. They kept extending the the arrival time later and later! Their ads say the have: WiFi Personal entertainment USB Three Point Seat Belts Coffee service Clean Restrooms Oh but on select buses!!!! This bus was clearly not a select bus, NONE of these amenities were present, and there is no way to ascertain your bus will be!! The bus station is absolutely disgusting! The bathrooms are repugnant and they refuse to make change for the $5 pesos fee to use the restrooms . The little food stands inside look sketchy and they too will refuse to make change for purchasesRIDICULOUS. Yeah, if you use a $100 peso note for a $20 peso purchase they won't make change ‍‍‍
