- “With its elegant ambiance and exclusive, seasonal and creative recipes, Tabachin is delightful and unique. I always ask for the chef's recommendation, and I was not disappointed with the suggested bamboo steamed Pacific sea bass, wrapped in a banana leaf, infused with a sweet coconut-lemongrass sauce.” 6
- “Dining choices are not as varied as you would expect in a place this large, with the main Chula Vista restaurant having a wait at peak breakfast times.” 11
- “Another bad point is that the price of food in the restaurants is higher than the average for hotels; however, breakfast is worth paying for.” On camera1519:43
- “The Malibu Hotel is right in the middle of town, nice beach, beautiful sunsets, clean room, quaint restaurant and bar, happy hour starts at 5.” 5
- “Posadita Steak & Seafood Grill is a seasonal dinner restaurant, while Chula Vista is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Both restaurants are relatively basic and open-air, offering pleasant views of the pool and coast.” 12
- “:) Add me to the list that loved the Hyatt! Great location, nice rooms, good beach and restaurants.” 5
- “As for the food, it is very good and the truth is that it has different dishes from the traditional ones such as fruit hot cakes and chilaquiles to barbecue and pancita.” On camera44:14

- “The balcony has furniture: two chairs and a small table. You can see how spacious the balcony area is.” On camera1526:47
- “These rooms and suites are old-fashioned with dull floral cushions and bed skirts, light wood and wicker furniture, and drab bathrooms.” 12
- “The resort itself is buzzing with activity, yet some may find its location too far away from the downtown nightlife scene and there's virtually nothing within walking distance.” 12
- “:) Add me to the list that loved the Hyatt! Great location, nice rooms, good beach and restaurants.” 5
- “My first choice would be The Acapulco Crown Plaza located at the middle of Acapulco Bay, is affordable, and beautiful, lots of pools and a decent beach.” 5
- “We too stayed at the then Acapulco Plaza Hotel, which is probably now the Crown Plaza Hotel, and it was nicely located. We could walk to a lot of things.” 5
- “another good point is that it is beachfront and in a good location, ideal for rest and relaxation;” On camera1516:48
- “Limited dining and entertainment options within walking distance” 12
- “Upscale specialty and presidential suites are mostly located in the Marquesa and Pyramid. These have been renovated several times over the years and bathrooms fitted more for modern tastes, but there's still a little evidence of "fatigue" primarily due to its 1971 architecture.” 11
- “The view from the beach area is beautiful, to be honest.” On camera1512:38
- “It's a good chain, or at least it used to be. Although the Princess is a wonderful hotel, it is very far removed out of town, but if you're looking for peace and quiet, that's probably where you want to be.” 5
- “on this side we have a fairly spacious bathroom, the truth is, a very very large mirror, but also on this side of the door is the toilet with a very, very large mirror, so it's perfect” On camera42:40
