Acapulco, Mexico

Acapulco, Mexico Overview

The gorgeous beaches, romantic sunsets, and glamorous nightlife that attracted Hollywood's hottest celebrities in the 1950s are still very much a part of Acapulco today.

Add to that the non-stop excitement of countless nightclubs, discos, and restaurants, and you have a vacation spot that's fantastic night and day.

It's no wonder so many of the jet-set made this paradise their honeymoon destination. John and Jackie Kennedy, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Liz Taylor and Michael Todd, to name just a few, all celebrated their nuptials in Acapulco. The widespread water sports, golf, tennis, shopping, and dancing and dining - not to mention the world-famous La Quebrada cliff divers - guarantee there's always something to do and see. And if doing nothing sounds more appealing, the miles and miles of white-sand beaches are just perfect for it!.
