About
Hotel Los Flamingos sits on a clifftop in Acapulco, on the Pacific coast of Guerrero, Mexico. It is a hotel with a strong sense of its own history, and for many visitors that character is the main reason to stay.
What to expect
The hotel is known for its panoramic ocean views and for its sunsets, which are the moment many guests come up to the terraces to watch. The setting above the bay gives the stay a feeling quite different from a beach-front resort: you look out over the water from a height, rather than walking straight onto the sand.
The property is described as historic and as having traditional charm, and it is said to have once been owned by Hollywood figures, including John Wayne. That connection to the mid-century glamour of Acapulco is part of its appeal for guests interested in the city's past.
Who it suits
- Visitors who want views and atmosphere more than modern facilities
- Couples and travellers who plan to spend the evening watching the sunset
- Guests curious about Acapulco's older hotel era
Because the hotel is on a cliff, guests should expect steps and slopes between the rooms and the lower parts of the grounds. It is worth checking directly with the hotel about access and the layout before booking.
Around the hotel
Acapulco offers beaches, a lively bay, and a long coastline to explore, so the hotel works well as a base for days spent in and around the city. Those who enjoy the view can plan a stay that balances time on the terraces with excursions along the coast.
