Booked 4 or 5 nights, stayed 7. Location is a ten minute steep walk from waterfront and zocalo, but the reward is fantastic views towards the city beach and the cliffs. Also only two minute walk from the crazy divers...

Had a studio apartment with decent kitchen, decent bathroom, huge veranda with a fantastic view. Senora Etel is wonderful and very knowledgeable about the area. We had a small car that really came in handy, as we found the nicest beaches to the northwest of town (Pie de la cuesta).

Will stay here again, no question.

Just arrived back home from a month long stay at Etel Suites in warm sunny Acapulco. A delightful 4 weeks staying in the old part of Acapulco experiencing true Mexican flavour and culture. Large clean suites with large terraces with breathtaking views of the old town and Acapulco Bay. I spent many a late afternoon on their rooftop terrace enjoying the beautiful sunset views you get from there. The owner Etel who speaks perfect English is a great host and will look after your every needs during your stay there. Excellent bargain for the price you pay. Staying in the old town you'll pay half the price for breakfast/lunch/dinners as opposed to the hotel strip. Many restaurants close by just by walking 10 minutes to the zocalo (main square area)
They have a swimming pool together with a smaller one for the kids. Excellent for couples and families with children. They have a computer area for the people to use with free wireless service also for anyone like myself who brought their laptop with them. A big thank you goes out to Etel and her staff for making my stay there memory filled. I will definitely be returning back to Etel Suites again and again.
Also a big thank you goes out to the folks at www.acafun who recommended this hotel to me. They were there to answer any of my questions before my arrival with prompt honest service.
English speaking people who will advise you on any questions you have regarding making your stay in Acapulco a delightful experience.

This is a good budget option. Rooms are clean and comfortable for the very reasonable prices. It isn't a flash hotel, though, and so there aren't any luxury extras! The hotel is conveniently located for the cliff divers, but you have to walk 6-7 minutes down a steep hill and then jump on a bus for the nice beaches. Be warned - you have to walk back up this hill!
The staff are the real advantage of this place though - the owner Mrs Etel and her staff member Dixie went out of their way to help us with our travel plans and spoke excellent english.
No meals are served here, but there are plenty of places to eat near the Zocalo, and the restaurant 100% Natural at the bottom of the hill is great for breakfast.

I stay here on a regular basis when I come from Miami, FL to see family in Acapulco. The location is great for experiencing the "real" Mexico in the traditional part of town. The owner will do almost anything to accommodate the guests and they now have free high speed wireless so you don't have to leave the property to get on the internet.

The hotel is what I would call nice Mexican and they have suites with kitchens and multiple bedrooms that can accommodate large families so this is a great place for groups traveling together.

A very good choice if you want a pleasant Acapulco experience at a reasonable price.
