Hotel Amares Acapulco

I will try to give you as much information as easily as possible without rambling on. I just spent spring break at the calinda beach resort with my boyfriend and his friend. Weather: absolutely AMAZING....sunshine everyday Food: Well i'm a picky eating and i never went hungary. There are plently of foods to choose from and I always found something to satisfy me. The food wasn't amazing but I really enjoyed it. Entertainment: There was a dj there every afternoon who basically just played a couple mixed cds over and over, but that about it. there was nothing really organized. Rooms: very clean and big Staff: very friendly and helpful, but could have used more staff who understood english better. nightlife: clubs were a lot of fun and a good party all night long pool: not very big, but nice and clean, with a swim up bar. beach: very nice, but there is a drop off a few meters out so i stuck to the pool. overall this resort is a good place to just go and relax for a week.

My friends and I stayed at Calinda for a week in March for Spring Break. After reading some of the reviews, we were expecting a really horrible hotel. However, we were quite pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hotel. Here's a summary: *this is definitely not a luxury hotel... many of the people who stayed there seemed more like local Mexican families than tourists travelling from abroad, so it was more of a "locals" kind of hotel. * Nevertheless, hotel lobby was large, open-air setting, and there was a live band playing a few nights out of the week while we were there. Hotel is very clean, we would always see people cleaning and mopping the floors at all times of the day. *ROOM: very spacious, clean, separate sink and shower area. Every room has a balcony, and we had a lovely view of the ocean and beach. Beds weren't super comfy.. but was decent. Sheets were clean (thank God!) *House-cleaning was very good... we had a really nice lady clean our room every day. We left her a $2USD tip every day... and our room was always cleaned very well. *Hotel pool was pretty nice... not HUGE, but a good size. Go at the end of the day, the pool is really nice and warm. Nice way to end the day. *Plenty of beach chairs everywhere. Hotel is right on the beach which is quite convenient. Hotel provides beach umbrellas and chairs... but they can run out in the afternoon. Overall we were quite pleased with the hotel. In terms of location, Calinda is in the middle of a lot... but not quite next anything. Most of the places you want to go to (bars, restaurants, Super Gigante) are within a 15 min walk. Good choice for those travelling on a budget... or for spring breakers who want to enjoy themselves, but don't want to be living in the craziness/noisiness of spring break. Again, not a super fancy, luxury hotel... but its clean, good sized, and never had any problems with hotel mgmt.

the rooms and views were great, but you can't live on rooms alone. The food if that is what it was absolutely the worst times 10. the same slop day after day and each meal morning noon and night the restrauntant alcarte was just the same food only servered upstairs . The food was so bad that we were forced to eat out most times. In the buffet they would not give you bacon or toast, although they had it. The drinks were served with little or no alchol. No poolside snacks where ever servered althought were included. No activities were even provided although were to be included. Lewid music was played in english at the poolside, WE will never go there again

nice and affordable , close to the golf course, the beach was fabulous. no fridge in the room though and no coffee either but the restaurant downstairs is really good. worth going. i would go back for sure
