When To Go
Acapulco boasts a year-round balmy, subtropical climate, with annual temperatures hovering between 70ºF and 90ºF. Sunny skies are a near-guarantee. The almost constant sunshine is one of Acapulco's biggest draws, as visitors can rest assured that their beach vacation will be just that. Some exceptions apply during the rainy, low season, which is marked by brief late-afternoon and early-evening tropical showers. The season lasts from June through October, with the hottest and most humid months in July and August. As such, most visitors choose to avoid the risk of rain and high humidity and instead head to Acapulco in the winter high season between December and April. During this time, the air is dry, the sun is shining, and the tourists are relishing in it all. While low season means rock-bottom hotel rates (although rates do spike slightly during summer vacation months in July and August), high-season, predictably, means the highest rates – you'll instead get the best bang for your buck on hotel rates in November, just following the rainy season, when the landscapes are lush and the crowds are few. May is another good bet, when all of the Easter and spring-break crowds have cleared out and the summer storms have yet to set in. Avoid Christmas, New Year's, and Easter weeks unless you're willing to shell out premium rates on everything from airfare to hotels to nightclub admissions and don't mind competing with massive crowds.
