Santa Prisca de Taxco

This 18th-century church, built with funds provided by silver tycoon José de la Borda, is the centerpiece of the town's main square.

Reviewed By 82jhj - Los Angeles, United States

I'm always amaze on the level of intricacy the churches in Latino America. We couldnt walk a round the inside of the church, we just made it to the entrance. Go and visit beautiful architecture. The only thing that might be annoying is the supposed tourist guides that are pushy but some of the free info they're willing to share as u walk towards the entrance of the church. The one thing i wish would be access to the bell tower as a guided tour that would really cool

It was approximately 15 minute drive to where we were dropped off with our tour guide to the water taxi to Ixtapa Island. It was a 5 minute walk to the area for snorkeling. Our package included transportation from and to our Resort water Taxi to and from Ixtapa island our snorkeling gear 1hr guided tour around the reef. We were able to snorkel on our own as well. It was moderate activity. Lunch and a beverage water beer or soda was included in our package price. It was a great day friendly tour guide snd snorkel guide. The food at Lili's restaurant was amazing. We were sble to see so many types of fish feeding on the coral reef. The tour was 5hrs in total. Picked up at 9:30am and dropped off by 4pm. We were on Ixtapa island fm 10am-3pm. It was good value.

Barra Vieja beach is south of the airport. About 40 min. from the main avenue in Acapulco along the beach (Costera). Warm water. Nice sand. Worth a visit.

Playa Larga

With almost two miles of sand, this beach is ideal for long walks, jogging or soaking up rays.

Reviewed By rejuvenate - Manitoba, Canada

like vast, it stretches for miles and miles and can you say uncrowded, oh my goodness, not a soul in sight and even if there were, there's more than enough room for all so picturesque, the sparkly ocean at its side, with mountains and hills its backdrop remarkably unspoilt in its pristine coastal location its golden fine sands make it perfect for walking and running (just don't cross it in the afternoon!) with great caution advised - the crashing waves at its shoreline demand respect make it spectacular and magnificent all the same the perfect place to lose yourself and just breathe grateful to experience such wondrous beauty!!

La Quebrada

These cliffs are home to the daredevil cliff divers.

Reviewed By solo_negro

The name means "the broken" since the cliffs were dynamited to quarry rock for a hotel (according to a sign at the scene). The cliff views are amazing and the cliff divers death defying. There was a carnival atmosphere each night as the locals congregated to view the divers. Every visitor to Acapulco should include this site at night.

Explore! Beautiful scenery and people. We’ve yet to have a bad meal. The sunsets are gorgeous! If you stay at the Thompson or further left you’ll see better sunsets or plan dinner early enough to watch it from many Ana omg restaurants! Beach is clean.

Playa Las Gatas

"Nurse Shark Beach" is a fun beach to explore and reachable only by boat.

Reviewed By Neftist

Las Gatas Beach is a little bay just off of Playa La Ropa. You can get there by ferry from downtown Zihuatanejo(50 pesos round trip), take a taxi from La Ropa or use the foot path(Not for the elderly or those with mobility issues as there's quite a few rocks to traverse and don't wear your flip flops). Whereas the surf can get kind of rough on La Ropa, there were barely ripples in the water at Las Gatas. Great for snorkeling(Snorkle equipment can be rented right on the beach for about $5) or just wading in the water. Tons of little beach bars up and down the beach if you need to get out of the sun at all or just want a Margarita as big as your head.(Make sure to have cash. Not sure if any of them take cards)
