It upsets me to see so many harsh criticisms of Acapulco. Sure it is now big and noisy and it is not for everyone. But it is Acapulco and as such the greatest tourist spot in Mexico, one of the greatest in the world! I have been in Acapulco at least a dozen times in the past 25 years and NEVER have I been offered "jewels, drugs or prostitutes" so I have no idea what these Gringos are doing or where they are doing it, who report all the terrible goings on, but me - never seen it! The beaches are great, the hotels moderately priced, the restaurants are exceptional and the sights are amazing. And nowhere else in Mexico will you ever have such a wonderful opportunity to vacation in Mexico with actual real live Mexicans! (There will probably be 3-4 million there this Easter!)
