I must say after reading some of the reviews of other travellers, i was quite afraid of what i encounter upon my arrival, however it was not bad at all. I will give you a run down of my experience.Basically, when travelling to different countries don't expect the same standard of things(not in a bad way) as you would in Canada or the USA as its not the same. THE STAFF: is very helpful even though you sometimes experience a language barrier if you don't speak Spanish but nothing to worry about you can get by. ACCOMADATIONS: The rooms have a plantation home feeling to them if you are accustomed to the Hilton or if you are snobby then it may not be the place for you. Just remember when taking a shower C is for hot (Caliente ) and F is for cold (frio). FOOD: The food at the buffet was ok. They tried to make North American foods(ie pasta&meatballs) but really i think they should have had more mexican foods to help out the experience. THE BEACH: Prepare to be annoyed, there are people trying to sell you everything (sunglasses,jewellery,food,massages,hair braiding etc.). the police do ask them to leave however but they just walk down the beach so u will experience it at all the beach hotels. Just say no if ur not interested and not trying to get hustled for certain items. I think you should judge the water and sand according to your own travels. (I been to nicer in the Carribbean) THE POOL: I personal found it was reeking of sunblocks, So i personally didnt use it that often and when i did it was really early in the morning. If you go around Spring Break you should have fun with all the activities,(sexercise) depending on your crowd and what your purpose is there. (im urban they definitely were not my crowd)TOURS: You can get some really nice pictures if interested in that stuff, but dont let them take you to the Market/Flea Market,you will get hustled if you dont shop around and bargain. so just aheads up on that.
On that note the rest is yours to discover. Dont drink the water you can go to Walmart which is walking distance and buy evain or nestle (its walmart you can find whatever you want and its 24hrs) There is also a Baskin Robbins (Canadians you know what that is and also Scotia Bank) Haagen Daz, Pizza Hut, Domino Pizza Just go and enjoy the scenery and the night life and thats it.

Once again I went to the Copacabana and had a great time.

As for what you are getting at this property, it has a great location, the food is OK and the serivce is great.

The hotel is very clean, including the rooms and there's not a speck of dirt and they are always cleaning, the lobby, pool area etc.

Plenty of activity pool side, from Alex and the rest of the entertainment team. The dinner under the stars twice a week pool side is very good, the grilled Salmon is recommended.

There were people at the hotel from Chicago, Minnesota, Windsor, Leamington and Montreal to name a few.

For the price and value you can't go wrong, also as for brekfast, Raul makes a great fresh omlette. I would recommend that you get a room on one of the lower floors say from the 1st to 4th floor, sometimes the elevator takes a bit too long.

Enjoy the Copacabana and the theme song which is played every day at 12:00 and then 4:00 PM.

The hotel was clean, staff friendly and lots of entertainment. The beach was terrible. The hotel is on the bay and there are cesspools of sewage in the culverts directly on the sand on the beach. When you go down to the beach from the hotel and walk to the left you will see the culverts and you can faintly smell raw sewage in the air as you walk along the beach. The bay water is dirty and treacherous. It drops off quickly and there is a strong undertow. I didn't see very many people in the bay water the week I was there. The vendors on the beach are a nuisance. I would rather bath in sugar and have a group of flys bothering me then what I had to endure on that beach. A couple of hours of this torture and I spent the rest of my holiday near the pool. If you are a beach person this definitely is not the holiday for you.
I would not go back again. This was my first visit to Mexico and it left and very bad impression.

After reading the reviews of this hotel, we were a little skeptical but decided the price was great and we wanted to see Acapulco. Figuring that we can almost always make the best of a situation we'd book the trip and if our hotel wasn't great we'd still love being on the beach enjoying the sun and ocean. We live in Minnesota and it had been terribly cold for the last few weeks so a warm beach is about all it would take to make us happy. We were pleasantly surprised to find that our room although needing updating was very clean and spacious. We had a beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony which was a little small. The front desk people were very friendly and were more than happy to switch our room after we discovered the first one they gave us had a view of the neighboring hotel. The staff was friendly and didn't mind at all that we bought our beer and beverages from the grocery store right down the street. For a small tip the bartender would even give you a bucket of ice and limes. There were very few people on the all-inclusive plan while we were there and everyone seemed to be doing the same as us. There are vendors that come around all the time offering you drinks which they bring from somewhere close by. I don't know why the hotel staff allows it but they really didn't seem to mind. Wonderful restaraunts are easy to find as well as lots of shopping if you don't care to buy from the vendors. All in all it was a great trip and we'd probably return in a few years.
