Hotel Elcano

Ausgezeichnetes Hotel, die Aussicht, die Zimmer, ich würde auf jeden Fall wieder dort übernachten

Schlechte Gegend zum Übernachten und ich würde niemandem empfehlen, dort zu übernachten.

I will start off with the positive and give 5* to the 3 waiters in the Bambuco Restaurant. David M who has always made my previous visits to Hotel Elcano Bambuco Restaurant a lovely experience in dining. David is a personable, pleasant young man and speaks excellent English. This visit in January I also had the pleasure of being served by Rigoberto who is pleasant and speaks English. And I can not forget to thank the pleasant Pablo at breakfast who always with a smile would bring over when ever he saw me two Concha (delicious sweet breads). Pablo also speaks English so he was the only one at Breakfast that knew what kind of bread rolls I wanted. I booked an all inclusive package with Sunwing Vacations to Hotel Elcano from January 11 to 18 and stayed in room 815. I am sure the Reservations Manager and Director of Hotel Elcano knows who I am and did not really care that they might lose me as a returning guest. One of the many reasons I returned to Hotel Elcano in the past is because I enjoyed having the choice of Buffet or Set Menu at Lunch and Dinner. I also enjoy their food, their wonderful presentation of their dishes and their excellent service by their waiters when I order from the set menu. This trip in January I was told by the Hotel Elcano Reservation Manager according to this years contract with Sunwing, Hotel Elcano has arranged for all meals to be buffet unless the hotel does not have many guests on specific days then it will be Set Menu. I told the Reservation Manager that my contract with Sunwing is still the same indicating lunch and dinner buffet or set menu. I even had a copy of my contract with me of what is included in my all inclusive package that I purchased through Sunwing. I was told by the Reservation Manager that it was Sunwing responsibility to inform their customers of the change and I would have to speak to Sunwing. So I made a complaint with Sunwing Representative onsite in Acapulco and I was told I have to speak with Guest Services Desk at the resort, since this is internal resort information that has to be managed with them. What a disappointment! This really ruined my enjoyment of my stay at Hotel Elcano. Hotel Elcano also changed their Dinner Hours which was only available from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Sunwing website indicated the Dinner hours are from 16:30 to 22:00. The limited Dinner Hours set by Hotel Elcano for Sunwing guests became a big inconvenience for me. Because of the limited two hour time frame to have Dinner at the hotel denied me the opportunity to arrange other activities in the evening to enjoy in Acapulco. Whoever is familiar with Sunwing knows who is at fault and I know there were other complaints at other resorts in Acapulco with similar situations having problems getting what they paid for. I feel though that Hotel Elcano could of rectified the situation at the moment since this was my third visit to their hotel.

This is a hotel where I stayed as a child 50 years ago. Well something’s in the rooms have not changed. Everything is old and clunky and either doesn’t work or works in a suboptimal way. Example: the toilet paper does not stay in place as the holders are too old and the management too careless to fix them. Everything in this hotel is careless. The service is horrible and outdated. Makes you feel like a 2 star hotel. Amenities are non-existent and if you dare to ask for say, a toothbrush they frown upon you like if you come from outer space. They do have the best real estate in the bay and the best views, but it is truly a place to avoid.

Stayed at El Cano location oceanfront very well maintained hotel all oceanfront rooms and suites SAD Press has demonized Acapulco reputation as dangerous reality is it is totally safe many other major cities are more dangerous than Acapulco

It was a super experience, just after diving with Acapulco Scuba divers... as you know we got tired and hungry ... so we step by el Cano hotel and restaurant, so we got a delicious tacos and tostadas in a beautiful view ... we saw a birthday near to us, music boleros ... so was excellent!! Super delicious and happy...

Las habitaciones del hotel muy bonitas y limpias, me encanta que todas las tienen su balcón con vista al mar, el área de alberca y del restaurant (semiabierto) muy agradables. Si acaso sugeriría mejor precio en la comida, pero como a 100 metros de ahí, saliendo a la costera a la izquierda, hay un restaurant con comida muy sabrosa, variada y a buenos precios. En general nuestra estancia estuvo muy bien.

Todo estuvo de regular a bueno. Sugiero tener mucho cuidado con las toallas que usan para nadar, ya que es un protocolo burocratico y absurdo adquirirlas y devolverlas. Al final me hicieron pasar un trago amargo por ello, ya que su servicio no se encarga de recogerlas y proceder a su limpieza.

Hotel Elcano pomimo, że ma już swoje lata, spełnił wszystkie moje oczekiwania. Jest bardzo dobrze utrzymany, przemiła obsługa, bardzo duży wygodnie wyposażony pokój. Czystość bez zarzutu. Doskonale usytuowany w centralnej części Acapulco. Mieliśmy pokój na 6 piętrze z rewelacyjnym widokiem na zatokę i przepiękną plażę. W nocy nic nie zakłóca spokojnego wypoczynku. Smaczne posiłki w formie bufetu. Wieczorm można potańczyć przy muzyce. Szkoda, że spędziliśmy tu tylko dwie noce w naszej podróży po Meksyku. Chętnie tu wrócę i spędzę dłuższy czas.
