Fodor's Expert Review Encanto Acapulco

Jacques Cousteau 51, Acapulco, Guerrero, 39887, Mexico Fodor's Choice

You’ll be surprised at how such a starkly modern and minimalist place can turn out to be such a comfortable place to stay. Architect Miguel Angel Aragonés gave this hotel clean lines and his signature geometric cutouts in the walls and floors. In the evening, the facade is dramatically lit in a changing array of colors, while the interior hallway is lit in amber. Rooms are as minimalist as the public spaces are, with white and beige marble, white linen bedspreads, and more geometric wall cutouts. All rooms have ocean views and are equipped with flat-screen TVs and Wi-Fi. Standard rooms have a balcony with cushy cubelike sofas. The hotel's Flor de Mar restaurant serves a menu of Mexican and international dishes. Just off the restaurant is a large pool surrounded by comfortable beds and bean bags where you can relax to cool, lounge-style music.
