I found Acapulco to be an interesting contrast between the old and the new. We booked a tour on the ship that took us to the cliff divers, a park and other places. I would recommend this tour.
We were here only a short time and were tendered in at night (which was spooky!!) and had time for very little except shopping.
This was one of the most beautiful spots we visited. In a few years, it will be built up enough to become one of the premier spots to visit in Mexico.
We booked a tour on the ship and was a little disappointed. We did see some interesing things, such as the Cactus Gardens and a glass blowing operation, but the majority of the time was spent in San Juan where the main deal was shopping. Most of the shops we visited had the same merchandise that could be found near the pier, but at twice or more the price. This town was dirty and smelly. The Cabo San Lucas part of the tour was great, just too short.
We only went ashore for a short time.
We took a local tour on the "Banana Bus" which was inexpensive and wonderful. We saw most of the island and learned a lot of history, local customs etc from the driver. I would take this tour again.
