Camino Real Acapulco Diamante is a beachfront resort in the Pichilingue area of Acapulco Diamante, on the southern coast of the bay. The hotel is built around a tall central tower with a pool area at its base, and the beach in front has loungers and umbrellas. Guests rate it highly, and one guest review praises it as a good hotel away from the crowded areas, which is the appeal: you have a quiet beachfront base with all the facilities of a larger resort. The bar is known for its ocean views, and the property suits travellers who want a comfortable, full-service stay. The Camino Real brand is long established in Mexico, and the hotel is a few steps from the sand. It is a good middle path between the quiet luxury of the smaller villa resorts and the busier Costera hotels, and a sensible base for families and couples who want a beach day without leaving the property.
Location and getting around
The resort sits in the Diamante district, away from the Costera Miguel Alemán strip and the old town. That means peace and space, but also that you will use taxis, tour pickups or a hired car for sightseeing. The concierge can help with transport and tours, and a half-day excursion to La Quebrada or the old town is easy to arrange. The Chapel of Peace and the Las Brisas area are within a short ride.
Rooms and facilities
Expect a full-service resort with a pool, a beachfront, restaurants, a bar and the usual services of a larger property. Room categories vary, and the ocean-view rooms are the most popular. Breakfast and other meals are often charged separately unless your rate includes them, so check the plan when you book. Ask about the beach and pool facilities, spa options and any children's programmes, which can vary by season.
Who it suits and good to know: the hotel is well suited to couples, families and groups who want a beachfront stay with good facilities and a more relaxed pace than the central bay. The pool and beach are the main activity, and the hotel is a good base for resting between excursions. Because the resort is spread over a large site, ask for a room near the lifts or the pool if walking distances matter.
Hurricanes have affected the coast in recent years, so check the current status of the hotel and its facilities before you travel, and keep your plans flexible during hurricane season, which runs through November. Book early for holiday weeks and Easter.
