My husband is Mexican, and I am a low-maintenance kind of girl, so I suppose our standards and what we are looking for when we go on vacation may be different than some.

With that said, we really loved the Boca Chica. We stayed in a corner
suite, which looked like most of the other rooms, but had a king-sized bed (which was comfortable, not luxurious) and a private balcony that wrapped around the room. We could watch the sun rise over the hills across the bay in the morning, and watch the sky changed as the sun set each night. We also had a view of the beach and La Isla de Roqueta.

Besides the nice room, the staff was very pleasant, if not particularly energetic. And, unlike the last reviewer, we found both Playa Caletilla and Caleta (just steps away) very charming and clean. We loved walking by the fisherman each morning, who sold a wicked ultra-fresh ceviche around lunch and the general Mexican aura of the beach. I don't particularly want to see a lot of Americans when on vacation, so it was nice to be in a more local (albeit also touristy) scene.

A couple of days we camped out for $3 under an umbrella on the beach, taking turns reading and swimming, sipping micheladas, coronas and pina coladas (served by the owners of the restaurants toward the back of the beach).

Like many said, the hotel restaurant is excellent, not only the included breakfast but also the Marina Bay lunch and dinner spot under the high palapa roof. Try to get the older, paunchier waiter, he's really fun and will give the ladies a fresh flower.

Overall, the Boca Chica's ambience and location charmed us, and we'll
be back.

I Love this place it is very special. The seafood is the best in Acapulco. The water is very clear here.

My wife and I traveled to Acapulco last summer and we stayed at the Boca Chica hotel mostly based on reviews from this website. First the pros:
-Price: we paid about 60 dollars and that included breakfast. Much cheaper than anywhere else we looked.
-Manager-I think he was the owner of the hotel, and he was very kind. It was raining the night we got there but we wanted to go eat some tacos, and he directed to a good place within walking distance and gave us an umbrella.
-Food: we only ate breakfast there, but it was quite good. Especially because it was included in the price. It was very authentic Mexican food and was a nice sit down atmosphere by the bay.
View- we had a great view from our balcony of the caletilla (bay)
The Cons
-The rooms are very old and kind of run down. They have concrete floors and the air conditioning does not work very well at all. The beds were rock hard. The bathroom was pretty old but it was clean.
-The beach next to the hotel was very dirty and not a great place to swim/play. There were a lot of fisherman and it smelled of rotting fish and the sand had a lot of glass in it. To sum up the beach "good from far, but far from good"
-The location is pretty far from downtown and out of the way. our taxi driver told us that it was the dangerous part of town. I felt ok having lived in Mexico a few years, but my wife was a little scared. A good point was that it was very quiet and not by any main roads. It was very close to "la Quebrada" which was a great attraction.
I gave the Boca Chica hotel an above average rating because for the price, you aren't going to find anything better. But if you are looking for a really nice place to stay and pamper yourself, this isn't the place. It isn't Americanized if that is what you are looking for.

The hotel has a lovely location, and it was wonderful to be wake up and have a sea view from the room. Slight feeling from our stay, though, was that the rooms themselves had seen better days. The bed was on the verge of falling apart, and the shower and bathroom tiling were in serious need of a revamp.
However, as we got the room at a good discount on the internet, we were pretty happy overall. Great location and views made up for the inadequacies of the bedroom.
