“Acapulco is the big daddy of Mexican Resorts. It was where all the movies stars went to party. Remember Elvis Presley and some cheesy flick about Acapulco?

But this is where the government and industry learned that resorts and tourism could mean big cash and they have tried to duplicate the success throughout the country.

We have enjoyed Acapulco with our kids and alone; in our RV or at a hotel. There seems like there is something for every one and it works.”

Dorothy Bell
