Las Brisas Acapulco

I have always wanted to stay at this property as it is so unique. My husband was slightly nervous to go, as sadly Acapulco has had some bad press surrounding safety before the COVID pandemic. I cannot say enough good about this hotel. I have been blessed and privileged to stay at some amazing properties in the world (you can scroll through my reviews here), and Las Brisas ranks among the top of the top. Let’s start with the property. NOTHING is out of place or dirty. The place is meticulously maintained and cleaned. You’ll see people working throughout the day, but the property is so massive I have no idea how they keep up. I LOOOVE the mid century modern aesthetic, and they have fortunately maintained it and not ruined the original vibe and vision. There is also VERY strict security 24 hours a day at the hotel, which is nice to halt any remaining concerns. Here are my “American points” that I love that the hotel also had. GOOD AIR CONDITIONING! Acapulco is hot, and the AC in the room kicked out beautifully, keeping us nice and cool at night. Plenty of closet space, including a wet bar and a large dresser! It was so nice to unpack for the week, and have plenty of storage space in the room. Finally, A PRIVATE BATHROOM DOOR! I constantly complain about this idiotic new remodeling idea where the bathroom door is some frosted glass stupidity, where you basically get zero privacy. I want to poop in complete seclusion! LOL this bathroom had a real solid wood door that shuts and locks. The bathroom also has a nice big counter to spread your stuff out. Beds and bed linens are luxurious and comfortable! The WHOLE SERVICE TEAM is phenomenal!!!!! Seriously! Everyone! Julia at the front desk is wonderful and went out of her way several times (including finding our cell phone) to make our trip amazing!!! All the staff are so kind, generous, and seem to love their jobs. They felt like friends after the week! Acapulco is VERY SAFE! Truth be told I was slightly concerned. There were police and the national guard all around the main areas, and made me feel very safe and protected. There was not one time or area where I was feeling even mildly unsafe nor cautious. The taxis felt very safe. And the drivers spoke good English. Often they would offer to come back and pick us up after dinner if we called or texted them. This proved to be very helpful. FYI for Americans, Acapulco feels like St. Tropez for Latin Americans. At dinners everyone is extremely glamorous and dressed for dinner! I felt like everyone in Acapulco is beautiful….so bring some nice stuff for nighttime. :) If you want a tour and/or a driver, I used Sebastian at Acapulcoforall.com. He’s AMAZING and speaks fluent English! He was a very helpful asset for us on the trip. Finally, after a devastating hurry, Acapulco is back!!!!! Americans book your trip now. I think it’s my new favorite Mexican resort destination!

Jose & Edith are both fantastic massage therapists. My wife and I did a couples massage when we arrived at las Brisas and they were both very welcoming and the spa itself was very clean and nice. They were extremely professional and their technique was perfect and removed all the knots in our backs. Highly recommend if you have time during your stay.

The staff at Las Brisas Acapulco is one like no other. There are parts of Acapulco that are no longer desirable but Las Brisas has kept its charm and safety. I started coming here in the 80s and with my extensive world travels nothing has ever compared to this. We are so excited to still see faces that have served us over the decades. And some new ones that are doing an amazing job. Rogelio has only been at Las Brisas for a few years and I think he is doing a wonderful job. Kristopher and I can often times be a little too much and have really high expectations. Fortunately those expectations have been met and even exceeded. And just to give you an idea, Rogelio randomly stopped by our Casita to check in with us. And, even though he has tomorrow off he said we can send me an email and I will take care of anything we need. Sandra in reservations has also been wonderful to work with. In addition we are sending some friends here in the next couple of weeks and she was very quick to pick it up and start a phenomenal experience for them. And a kid you not, not just because we've been here several times but this trip and experience has been some of the most VIP treatment we have ever experienced, ever! And that is why we return as often as we can. There are way too many talented staff to mention, but we do appreciate that Leo has stuck around for so long and some of the new young men driving us around in jeeps have been very pleasant and fun to converse with. I wish we had captured the name of our housekeeper and our pool guy, but they come and go and almost are invisible and silent. We did not have the chance to meet the new general manager, but I can assure you he is doing a phenomenal job in the love and history of the Las Brisas experience. Thank you everybody at Las Brisas. We know that you all work very hard and it is very much appreciated. Kirtis & Kristopher, Californian transplants to Hilton Head Island.h

To start I wish I had a better word for perfection. I have had the luxury to stay at Las Brisas several times making this visit my sixth over the span of decades. And this was the first time to enjoy their spa services…I know I know. I have an extensive spa background. From launching a 4-diamond Napa Valley resort spa to managing one of America's number one holistic and Japanese inspired day spas. So I'm going to say I have a pretty good knowledge of what a good massage is. My 90-minute Valentine's experience was nothing short of amazing! Edith was my massage therapist. And my partner had Jose. Personally having a gazillion massages myself, Edith seemed to have the ambidextrous style perfected. Often times one side of your body gets one experience and the other different. Because you typically have one dominant arm and hand. Not the case here! Truly transformational! We are only here this trip for a week and we are trying to find a way to squeeze in more spa services. We are here to celebrate 20 years of being together and my birthday at the same time. The spa experience definitely made my birthday the most amazing ever. And if you were to ask any of my friends what they thought of my review, they would say I have it spot on. Thank you Edith, thank you Jose. I'm so happy you are part of this Las Brisas experience.

Las Brisas Acapulco exceeded all expectations! Stunning views, private casitas with pools, exceptional dining, and thoughtful details made our stay unforgettable. Staff went above and beyond! A perfect luxury escape—we can’t wait to return!
