Reviews of Hotel Acapulco Malibu
Nice views, service location
Travel Date: March 31, 2016
Nice hotel, in the middle of Costera, near restaurants, shops, banks. Nice restaurant, pool and wide beach. Excellent service. They had a brunch buffet for 170 pesos which didn't seem to thrill us so we ordered a la carte. Room was clean and comfortable.

Excellent hotel, excellent service and excellent value. We loved our stay at Hotel Malibu. The room was clean, comfortable, quiet and with a bar fridge. The staff were extremely friendly. We are just backpackers and they gave us a room facing the beach and the swimming pool. The swimming pool was clean and next to the beach. The restaurant serves good food with a package of 150 pesos for lunch and dinner. We were there to go to La Quebrada to see cliff divers. Taxi costs 70 pesos from the hotel.

An excellent option with great service and not overpriced

This hotel has always been a sort of tradition in my family, we have been coming here ever since I was a baby. And although the hotel´s installations have not changed a lot ever since, it still has that nice and comfortable feeling.
I now come here with my husband at least once a year; he didn´t know this hotel but he liked it ever since our first stay.
The rooms are very spacious and large, also the bathroom has the right size. Ammenities are provided and the cleanness of the rooms are always done on time. You also have a mini fridge available in every room and a small kitchenette in case you want to walk to a nearby grocery store and buy a few beers or snacks.
The pool could be a bit larger, but if you go in low occupation dates you don´t have to worry since you practically have it to yourself.
The restaurant serves a delicious buffet style breakfast with varied mexican style dishes and also a variety of fruits and fresh juices along with other options. We also have had dinner there and it´s also delicious if you don´t want to get out of the hotel and walk to nearby restaurants. The menu overall has a great price and variety for all tastes.
The service provided by the staff it´s always polite and friendly.
The hotel has an excellent location since it´s practically next door to the so called diamond zone in Acapulco where you can get to shopping malls, restaurants and other touristic atractions like the water park Cici Acapulco by walking since it´s so close to everything.
Definitely a come back and must visit if you´d rather save on your stay and would like to spend more on other touristic activities available at this great place.

My wife Susie and I just wanted to have drinks and dinner with her friend Sandy at the hotel over looking the beach front to see the sunset and it was worth it. We enjoyed our drinks during happy hour. I ordered the Filet Mignon steak and it was the best meal that I have eaten in Acapulco.
Looking forward in going again before we go back home to Florida.

I reviewed the Acapulco Malibu awhile ago, and everything is the same, except for their Tues night parties. Starting at 6pm (happy hour from 6-7pm) the Malibu has wonderful live music in their outdoor bar/restaurant. Ricardo plays the electric piano and Raoul (Mr. Acapulco) and Ann Marie sing. Their repertoire is filled with all the great old American songs--the American songbook--and they throw in some rock and country.
If you like good music and love to dance, don't miss this. I think these parties only run through the end of February, maybe through the beginning of March. I think they may also play on Weds nights, but am not sure. Get there early, the place was packed this past Tuesday.

Great Value in a Boutique Hotel in Acapulco

My husband and I have been coming to this hotel since 2000 and it only keeps getting better. It may be an old hotel without all the glitz, but the staff are wonderful and very attentive, the restaurant overlooking the Bay of Acapulco is great - great food, great values, lovely staff - and the location of the hotel could not be beat.
It is immediately across the street from the 9-hole, 18-starts Club de Golf de Acapulco and the Tennis Club, both open to the public. And we get nice discounts at the golf club by asking the hotel for discount cards. Only 375 pesos for 9 holes - which equates to about $30. Another 150 pesos ($11) for a caddy - which improves your game when someone else is carrying your bags and finding your out-of-bounds golf balls. And it is a very beautiful course to walk. Carts are available, but why ride?
And the location is close to so many wonderful restaurants. We walk to most of them and enjoy great food at a great price. From time to time, we'll take a bus downtown to a fabulous restaurant for Pollo a la Brasa. It's 6 pesos for the bus ($.50) each way and they're fun to ride with their loud music. It's 7 pesos if you MUST have an air-conditioned bus. And only 5 pesos for seniors.
So many good restaurants that we cannot go to them all if you are only here one week.
And Acapulco has the greatest weather - ALL THE TIME!
More importantly, if you stay in the tourist area, it is very, very safe. Not coming to Acapulco because you hear one bad report, is like not going to New York City because someone was killed or raped in Harlem.
But you can count on the news media to blow it all out of proportion.
One note: the beds are very hard, which is exactly what my husband and I and our friends love. When my sister comes, she stops at the Walmart and pays $10 for a foam cover to put on the mattress since she likes it soft. Whatever.
Note 2: the hotel is part of Interval International if you want to trade a timeshare week at your place for here. Weeks run Friday to Friday if you are on a timeshare. But the value is usually better than your week at a Marriott or other resort. A week here is about $775.

When I arrived to the Hotel and saw the structure I thought I was in the wrong place, from the outside it looks more like a cheap Motel, and when I found out they don't have parking and I had to park in a hotel close by I was deeply regretting deciding to stay there.
But thank god the hotel looks better on the inside, the rooms are nice and comfortable, a bit old but ok though.
The main pool is a bit small but it is warm so it gets extra points for that. The beach in front of the hotel looks nice (Icaco's Beach), even though when you look closer you can see spots with dirt and garbage here and there. Sadly on the weekend we were there the beach had lots of waves making it a bit hard to enjoy a nice and calm beach bath but well...
Another annoying thing are the ambulant vendors that want to sell you staff every 2 minutes this is a downside of Acapulco in general not just Icaco's Beach.
So bottom line save a bit more and go to Cancun instead of spending your money in Acapulco, you can find better hotels and beaches for less money.
