Mayan Palace Acapulco

We stayed in a one bedroom the last week of Dec. 2006. We loved the Grand Mayan. I must however give this Warning- Do Not Attend Their Time Share Presentation, just do not do it, remember that I warned you. Now that you know that, this place is Magnificent. Beautiful pools, friendly staff, good restaurants. The balconies have a small pool and nice views. The rooms are nicely appointed and the space is bountiful. The pool and water park are wonderful, the grounds are fantastic. When you leave you will want to go back, we certainly are going to go back. You may even want to purchase a time share, if you do... purchase it from the resale market, save some dollars and avoid the only bad experience at the resort which involves the lying, high pressure, 6 hours grueling experience their timeshare sales division will torture you through. Just when you think you have survived the arms of their octupus-vampire sales people, they capture you again when you think you are finally getting your "frebbie" at a different station.

We stayed at the Mayan with another couple in a lockoff in March 2007. Our stay started out bad with the outside door to the lockoff could not be opened with a key. After three attempts from the front desk and 10:30 at night, we had to call the General Manager who brought a master key to open it. The resort is beautiful tho. The rooms we were in needed to be refurbished. The restaurants on site are little expensive. We ordered the salad bar from one of the restaurants and for $12, there were 4 kinds of lettuce, potatoe salad, cucumber salad and cactus salad. That was it! If we had known that before ordering, we wouldn't have ordered it. For a relaxing vacation, sitting by the pool, playing in the ocean, this is where to be. Cost $25-$30 to take a taxi into town. Not interested in going back.
