Acapulco, Mexico

The Fairmont
Acapulco Princess Golf Course
Designed by Ted Robinson, this pleasant layout is punctuated
by narrow fairways, lined by coconut palms and water hazards
on 12 of the 18 holes. Included in Golf Digest's Top 25 Golf
Resorts, the Princess Course's featured hole is the 18th, a
dog-leg par 4 around a large lake, leaving a second shot that
appears suspended in space over the unique pyramid structure
of the hotel. The course plays to just under 6400 yards from
the Championship tees, the challenge is real enough as half
of the holes have water hazards on one side, and out of bounds
on the other! 'Sneaky tough' is an apt description to the challenge
offered by this gem of a course.
The Fairmont
Pierre Marques Golf Course
With an investment of over 3 million dollars, The Fairmont Pierre
Marques Golf Course has finalized the last phase of an extensive
renovation program, supervised by world-renowned golf designer
Robert Trent Jones Jr.
Improvements
to the course include: the installation of Seashore Paspalum
grass, the expansion and contouring of lakes, and the installation
of a world-class, double ended practice facility. This new design
reflects the Jones' legacy and offers players a renewed challenge
steps away from the Pacific Ocean.
Originally designed
by Percy Clifford, the course was remodeled by Robert Trent
Jones Sr. for the 1982 World Cup Championship. With the redesign
of 65 sand bunkers, and additional 300 yards in length, Jones
placed a premium on accuracy from the tee, and precise shots
into the well guarded greens. As testament to the challenge
created, the winning individual score for the tournament was
just 3 under par.
Yuca Live Salsa
Club
This is the definitive
club for Salsa lovers, a musical hot spot located under the
hotel's pyramid with a mystical prehispanic ambiance contrasting
with the most advanced lighting and special effects. The very
lively music is provided by swinging bands from Havana, Cuba
that change every few months.
Movies
Every evening
the hotel offers complimentary "movies under the stars"
in a tranquil outdoor setting next to the main pool. Popular
movies are shown on a large screen while guests relax on lounge
chairs.
