Set just above Condesa Beach in the Hotel Zone, Fiesta Americana Villa Acapulco, a family-friendly hotel is built around the hillside's giant boulders, with staircases leading down to the soft golden sand. Location: Fiesta Americana Condesa Acapulco is located approximately 12 miles from the airport and sits above Condesa Beach (accessed by stairs), east and up the hill from the Glorieta Diana traffic circle. Area: Just 91.5m (100 yards) north of the hotel's entrance, a series of dinner restaurants terraced into a bluff overlooking Condesa Beach offer panoramic views of sunsets, Acapulco Bay, and lights around the bay. Recreation: Attractions include two pools (one with an infinity edge), water sports, beachside dining, a children's club, a palm-studded sunning terrace, and a streetfront Italian bistro. Rooms with walls in tropical colors all have balconies with varying views of Acapulco Bay. On the beach fronting the hotel and on other beaches around Acapulco Bay, independent operators rent snorkeling gear, personal watercraft, and motor boats, and arrange snorkeling, scuba diving, glass-bottom-boat, and fishing excursions and book parasailing flights, water skiing, and banana-boat rides. Hiking in the Sierra Madre Mountains surrounding Acapulco, horseback riding on ocean beaches noted for surfing, and jet-boat river trips are popular activities. Rooms: All rooms have marble floors, private terraces or balconies with ocean views, purified tap water, minibars, cable TV, hairdryers, air-conditioning, and coffeemakers.
