Acapulco has more than 20,000 hotel rooms – from mid-range and budget properties to high-rise mega-hotels along la Costera and the historic properties of Old Acapulco, particularly on the Peninsula de las Playas. Most of Acapulco's luxury resorts are clustered within the exclusive Diamante area, east of Acapulco Bay. Expect to pay $200+ per night for top-tier accommodations; budget properties go for under $90 nightly.
