Acapulco
Resort Vacations
Welcome to
Acapulco!
One of the world's
most fabled vacation destinations, Acapulco is the original jewel
of the Mexican Riviera, with picture-postcard beaches, beautiful
resorts, gourmet dining and a legendary nightlife against the
backdrop of spectacular Acapulco Bay.
Activities abound,
with an incredible array of watersports available including sailing,
waterskiing, jet skiing, and deep-sea fishing. Away from the water
there are large number of tennis complexes and courts, and five
golf courses - four championship courses near the airport and
a 9-hole course in the downtown tourist area.
Shopping and strolling
along the Costera Miguel Aleman - Acapulco's main boulevard which
runs along the Bay - can also be considered a sport with an incredible
array of boutiques, restaurants and nightspots and nightclubs
to explore.

Acapulco Golf
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 (Par
72). 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.
Mayan Palace Acapulco
Golf Course
 Mayan
Palace Acapulco's Golf Course is one of the most spectacular courses
on the Mexican Pacific. Located just 10 minutes from the Airport, the
golf course is surrounded by lush landscapes with exuberant palm trees
and beautiful lakes. The 18-hole par 72 has 6156 yard surface covered
with Bermuda type grass, featuring wonderful yet complicated greens
and a great number of dunes, making it both attractive and challenging
for golfers of all levels. We also offer Putting Green, Driving Range
and Golf Lessons.
Pierre Marques Golf
Course
 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. With an investment of
over 3 million dollars, The 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
installation of Seashore Paspalum grass, the expansion and contouring
of lakes, and the installation of a world-class, double ended practice
facility that offers players a challenge steps away from the Pacific
Ocean. 18 holes, Par 72.
