 "Once a prime vacationing spot, when the cliff divers were a prime Acapulco top draw. Now a nice hotel, with great bay views, cliff divers daily, and close to Old Acapulco restaurants and beaches." 
 "The location of this classic 1930s mid- to-upperrange option – right above La Quebrada – couldn’t be better." 
 "Another '50s Hollywood hangout, El Mirador exudes nostalgia, with white walls, red-tile roofs, and hand-carved Mexican furnishings." 
 "The rooms themselves are tiled...there's a restaurant (La Perla) where you can watch Acapulco's best spectacle for free, plus three tiered swimming pools overlooking the waves." Full review
