We checked into hotel expecting a 1 bedroom suite. We were brought to a dingy small room with 2 double beds that looked like the linens hadn't been washed. The room was dark and unkept. One pool wasn't in order and the others were dirty. We went to the front desk to get an upgrade. He wanted $200 for a... more

Stayed at this hotel Jan 2-Jan 4 2008. It's a two star hotel but after reading good reviews on Expedia, it didn't sound that bad. This hotel is situated on the other side of Acapulco, not on the side where the beach is or even where there is a lot happening. Only good thing is the cliff diver show but... more

Well, i booked this hotel for 3 nights on this website, and read all the reviews, and in 2 minds as to what it would be like. Basically i had a bit of spare time at the end of a tour, so thought a bit of hot weather before returning to a wintry uk was a good idea. The room... more

So here I am in Acapulco Mexico and everyone tells me I have to see the Cliff Divers at the El Mirador Hotel. I sent an email to the hotel through thier website 3 days ago asking if we needed reservations and never heard from them. So on a Wednesday Night my girlfriend and I drive to the hotel. We... more

The El Mirador must have been quite something in its prime. Unfortunately it looks as if not a lot in the way of maintenance, or staff training as been done since then. Our main complaints were that basic ammenities such as purified drinking water in the rooms, and ice were not provided. The pool areas were in disrepair, and the... more

Restaurant is not up to scratch and we were hit with extra charges on a set menu price, plus being asked blatantly for a tip by both the waiter and the divers. The food was not good for any of our party. Not a good experience! more

If you read the reviews you will see a wide range of responses. The key is expectation and adventure. The Mirador is a unique property, one of a kind and in my opinion well worth a brief visit. It is true that the hotel is a bit rundown, where not everything works up to standard. Ours did not have a... more

A few daus ago, I found a great last-minute airfare, and the El Mirador was one of the only hotels that had availability, so I booked it. I saw on Frommer's.com that it was rated, so I figured that I had found a diamond in the rough. It certainly wasn't a diamond....more like fool's gold. You see, when traveling to... more

We have just got back from El MIrador Acapulco. Overall the place is charming with a faded Hollywood glory. The main problem and problem in general though is that not much English is spoken here at this resort and my Spanish is poor. My husband however is quite good. The hotel is old but makes up for it with the... more
