Alba Suites Acapulco

First of all, the hotel is very economic. Therefore, don´t expect five-star treatment. For Mexico, the hotel is pretty nice. You have to understand that the hotels that most Americans are accustomed to translate to the more expensive ones here south of the border. The only thing I'd like to stress about the hotel is that it is about 45 min away from the airport. This can be a quite costly cab ride. Luckily, there exists shared-rides. You can travel with strangers in a cab from the airport and pay considerably less. Also, since the hotel is kind of far off, there isn't much to do in terms of restaurants, clubs or shopping. However, it was nice not being surrounded by hotels. There was a nice view of the bay too. So, for the money, this hotel is great. But the location could be a problem or a win for you depending on what you are going to Acapulco for.

Hotel has the rudest staff, dont waist your money on this hotel. All they want is your MONEY!!!

This hotel was a good base to visit several nice beach locations. We were however surprised that about 40 Federal Police moved in during the second half of our stay. Our group was somewhat concerned. Also the staff has a very poor command of English. I realize that we are in their country but since tourism is a very important part of their culture, I don't think that its unreasonable for the wait staff to have a basic understanding of the foods that they serve with such a limited menu. The last day that we were there no one at our table of four got what they ordered at breakfast.

I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alba Suites. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and we had fun visiting the several pools and water slide. In addition to having a salt water pool built in the bay, the hotel is also easy walking distance from a sandy Pacific beach. Thanks to its location away from the city center, the hotel area was wonderfully quiet and relaxed. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. While another review complained that their kitchenette did not include any pots or pans, there are bilingual signs posted over the sink asking visitors to check those items out from the office as needed. Our only issue during our stay was that the shower floor was not sloped steeply enough towards the drain, allowing some water to run out under the door. I would definitely return to Alba Suites next time I'm looking for an inexpensive, relaxing stay in Acapulco.

"Familiar" means families and there were lots of little kids, well behaved and restricted to two of the five pools. I was the only gringo, which is fine and made me aware that I was in another country rather than the golden zone high rise hotels which are like Miami or Cancun. The only problem was noise: young neighbors who played loud, bad music 20 hours a day (I got my room changed); a terrible band in the outdoors bar til 11:00pm weekends; and a children's birthday party under a tent that sounded like chuck e cheese's til 10:00pm. Otherwise, the price, service, location, view and helpful staff were great.

Hotel was very accommodating, even though our plane was six hours late they were there to pick us up. Their resturant was very nice and the server was very polite and the food was quite tasty Not too much to do in that area, we used it for one night because we were going on a cruise and it was very convienent

Hotel Suites Alba is a good hotel if you have kids due to the water slide they have running daily. They have 3-4 pools including a salt water surf pool at the bayside. It's quiet and the views are beautiful. The only issue I could say is that there is no beach (no sand), and it's not located near the tourist zones, so no shops to walk to. It is quiet, but you'll have to drive or take a taxi to get to the tourist zones. This hotal is located all the way around on the peninsula, heading towards La Quebrada (cliff divers). There is a great view of the yacht harbor in the bay in front of the hotel. Go here if you get a good price and you have kids, as they will love the waterslide. One more thing, the A/C units seem to be programed to stay at 25 degrees celcius after 12 midnight. During the day it's programable to set it lower.

good panoramic we were 12 days never change the cover terrible confusion with administration

Was in Acapulco for daughter's wedding. This place is where Mexicans go to vacation and I was the only American I found in the place. That is what I liked about the place. Music played every night from live band below my balcony. Communication was sketchy at times, but I got what I needed. Located a couple of miles out of Central District which meant higher cab fares varying from $7 - $30. Several swimming pools, family oriented with night clubs and restaurant and access to beach area.

The hotel was very basic with only one restaurant with a very limited menu. The language barrier was a major problem as very few staff spoke any english at all. The room was cleaned every day & this was excellent. There were four of us in two twin beds & yet only three bath towels provided we had to sign out the fourth. Very strange. The biggest complaint was you had only one bar & as we stayed for Christmas & New years this was limiting. Especially New Years when they closed the bar & in order to have to get any entertainment or drinks you were forced to pay an additional $80.00 per person or basically go without.
