Acapulco is a resort town set on a large bay on Mexico’s Pacific coast—and Acapulco honeymoons are super-popular. The sandy beach is lined with high-rises and the city has the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains as its backdrop. The city was Mexico’s first resort city and as such was made famous as a destination for Hollywood elite in the 50s. Today the area is a bit overdeveloped but is still sought out by scores of visitors for its high-energy nightlife, beaches and golf. Acapulco has a well-developed tourist infrastructure with hotels for every budget, a range of delicious restaurant options and plenty of raucous clubs. You’ll also find ample opportunities to enjoy the natural surroundings with tropical beaches for every taste, jungle-green hills, and mountains surrounding the city.
Whether you're looking for relaxation or all-night partying, an Acapulco honeymoon is ideal for any couple.
When to Go
