Acapulco - Still one of the best hotspots

If you don’t know or have never heard of Acapulco, well, you obviously don’t know Latin America and one of the most popular beach resorts in the Caribbean. Acapulco has been somewhat overshadowed by Cancun but still remains one of the hottest beach destinations and caters very well for tourists. The sun seems to always shine and the beaches are white and have an inviting assortment of beachfront restaurants and cafes. Once here you have to go to La Quebrada and see the famous cliff divers doing their thing. You can either see this from a platform on the cliff (after paying a small entrance fee) or from the nearby restaurant. Generally the prices here are cheap, which is surprising since it is such a popular tourist destination. One of the best beaches can be found on Isla de la Roqueta. After a short water taxi (the one we took had a glass bottom which was pretty neat) you can get to the island. There are family friendly shallow beaches as well as deeper beaches with a little more surf. The nightlife here is great fun as the families generally head to the restaurants and then their hotels while those that want to spend the night dancing and drinking usually do so until the sun comes back up.
