Park Royal Beach Acapulco is an all-inclusive resort on El Secreto beach in the Guitarrón area, within a private residential community with panoramic views of the bay. The resort reopened after a renovation following Hurricane Otis, with remodelled rooms, a redesigned lobby and lobby bar and updated pools. The hotel describes just over two hundred rooms in seven types, from garden-view rooms to pool-view rooms and a premier double with a sea-view balcony. The all-inclusive plan covers an international buffet, an Italian restaurant, a seafood buffet and a lobby bar, and the resort has a water park, children's pool, a kids club and a day and night entertainment programme. It is aimed at families and groups who want a resort stay with food, drinks and activities included, and who are happy to leave the resort only for planned excursions.
Location and getting around
El Secreto beach is on the Guitarrón side of the bay, in a gated residential area on the hills above the water. It is quiet and scenic, but you will need taxis or tours for the old town and the cliff divers. The hotel has accessibility features and a Tesla charging station, and parking is charged by the day.
Rooms and facilities
The rooms have wifi, a safe, a coffee maker and a balcony in most categories. The all-inclusive plan covers the Veranda buffet for breakfast and dinner, Andiamo for Italian dinner, El Pescador for a seafood buffet at lunch and the lobby bar. Spa massages, the sauna and water sports are extra, and the hotel notes that children up to twelve count as children for rates. Offers change often, so compare the rate with and without meals.
Who it suits and good to know: families with young children, groups and couples who like having everything included will be comfortable here. Recent guest reviews mention some wear in places, such as elevators out of service in one tower and cleanliness concerns, so ask which towers and pools are operating when you reserve and request a room close to the lifts if stairs are a concern. Book early for holiday weeks, and check current travel advisories and hurricane forecasts before you travel.
