Cheap Hotels in Acapulco

When you are talking about Mexican resort towns, the image that came to mind for many years was that of the original – Acapulco. Several cities have outdone Acapulco since then, but there is still something to be said for not only being the first of your kind, but also for remaining a popular tourist resort to this day. Not only that, it is one of the most popular towns for college students during Spring Break. And since college students are not usually rolling in money, you can rest assured that there are plenty of cheap hotels in Acapulco to choose from.

Among its many draws, Acapulco boasts incredibly beautiful beaches and a virtually non-stop nightlife. Unfortunately, those beaches can feel overpopulated with pushy hawkers selling junk you do not need, especially during the busy season. And if you ever want to sleep, the nightclub right next door to your bedroom might not seem like such a great thing. So you will want to be picky when perusing the cheap hotels in Acapulco – unless you were not planning to sleep anyway!

As is usually the case in beach towns, the hotels which overlook the beaches are going to be more expensive than the ones further from the water. You may find an off-season bargain on a beachfront hotel, so it is always worth looking if you are visiting during a slow time, but typically you can expect more of the cheap hotels in Acapulco to be to the west of the beach and closer to the town center.

Some of the cheap hotels in Acapulco worth checking out are Boca Chica Hotel (no website – 40 rooms, A/C, on-site restaurant, free parking, cable TV, in historic Acapulco, on beach), Villas La Lupita (2 blocks from Malibu beach, 32 rooms, A/C, cable TV, free parking, private pool, WiFi in patio area), Villamar Princesa Suites (near golf club & shopping mall, A/C, outdoor pool, free WiFi, free parking, cable TV), Acapulco Park Hotel (next to the beach, outdoor pools, tropical garden on hotel grounds, 88 rooms, A/C, cable TV, tennis courts, poolside bar, free parking), and El Tropicano Hotel (next to the beach, close to discos & restaurants, 2 swimming pools, tropical garden on hotel grounds, 137 rooms, A/C, cable TV, private balconies).
