This place is fantastic it is what Acapulco is all about. Comfortable rooms, good air-conditioning great beach, the food is great, best breakfast I ever ate. I had Montezuma’s Revenge (from elsewhere in Mexico) when we arrived in Acapulco, the Hotel Doctor was fantastic he had me out and about in 48 hours. A previous occupant had been washing sand...

I loved the view and the service was great in the room and restaurant even if the rooms are old fashion they are kept immaculate and the TV works great. I will go back to El Cano next year and hopefully over and over. Keep up the good work and this goes for all of Acapulco: I felt safe during... More

The El Cano has been my home in Acapulo since the mid-90's. The rooms are lovely but not modern; although they do have new tv's. The beds are very hard and honestly, it takes me a few days before I can stand up straight after my arrival! The rooms are very clean and you can't beat the view from every... More

Visited Mexico City for two weeks and decided to get away & drive to Acapulco with my wife and family! Booked a last minute deal directly with the hotels reception. Because it was low season, I got a bargain deal for two nights and a third night free. The hotel is beautiful, plenty of staff in every direction. The hotel... More

Loved this hotel, every room has an ocean/beach view. Super clean and the pool is amazing. Our friends stayed at the Copocabana and they had a dreadful air conditioning view of the building next to them for the same price. wawaaa for them but we where very happy with out stay ! Plus they let us check in at 7am!!!!! More

The resort is right at the edge of the beach. Every suit gets a great view of the pool and ocean. The resort is very well maintained, the beach, pool, etc. are all first choice, the food is top notch (the best of any 'inclusive' we have stayed at in Mexico, Cuba, etc.), the bar is stocked with quality inventory...

I have stayed in the penthouse of this hotel on many occasions and it has always been enjoyable. The hotel is not 5 star but it has everything you need. The rooms are clean big and have an amazing view. I would throughly recommend it. More
