Mayan Palace Acapulco Golf Resort

NileGuide Expert tip:

Golf is good and the gym is excellent with professional fitness programs and classes. The fake temascal (Aztec sweat house) offers a truly therapeutic experience but spa services are generally overpriced.

Description:

• This has the best water park for kids in town and some exceptional activities and shows(salsa bands, circus), depending on the season and who is in charge. The watery lobby with pillars makes a grand impression and the Mayan theme on the whole is a winner, if you can keep your cynicism at bay. Foreign guests love the sports bar area and the variety of foods in the differently-themed restaurants. However, you have wandered into package and time-share land here, which leaves you somewhat in limbo - in Acapulco … but not really. Food is tasty and varied but rooms vary in quality, size and decor depending whether you are "Grand Mayan", or one of the other categories. Pre-planned outings are not bad, and on the whole, if you find a good price, this is fine for those who want to sit back and let someone else do the running.
