This is a premier hotel. As far as beachfront lodges go, it would be hard to compete with Quinta. The staff, on the whole, are terrific. And the accommodations tremendous! BUT, there are a few things to be aware of…. The restaurant is VERY EXPENSIVE. We (two) had a total of five meals over three days, and it cost me over $750. I don’t know how that’s possible, except that I did not pay sufficient attention to the pricing in pesos. It would benefit the international traveler to ensure all menus contain $ listings, instead of only displaying peso prices. It’s a tourist getaway, so there is obviously no hesitation to charge exorbitantly. I’m still astounded by the amounts. Another thing to consider… the hotel does not have easy access. The heavy security apparatus makes coming and going a challenge. If you’re traveling by taxi, it can be an aggravation. I would rent a car if I had it to do over again. There was one incident with a guest in the suite above playing excessively loud music, apparently preferring to party rather than enjoy the surf side experience. I complained to the front desk, and fortunately the matter was resolved within an hour. The main thing to bear in mind is, Quinta is not within easy walking distance to common services, like grocery stores, restaurants and malls. Be prepared to spend on transportation if you’re planning to go out and visit places in Acapulco. But if your objective is a relaxing seaside stay, there is possibly no better place in Acapulco.
