Acapulco If it’s paradise you seek, look no further than the Fairmont Acapulco Princess. If you have never been to Acapulco, you need to put it on your list. Best known for its blend of scenery, the lush oasis on the Pacific Ocean offers stunning beaches, tropical jungles, and white capped waves along the shore. But there is no better place to stay in this historic coastal city than at the iconic, Fairmont Acapulco Princess. Designed to pay homage to the ancient Aztec pyramids, the hotel is recognized as one of the top 500 hotels in the world, and situated on over 480 acres of breathtaking landscape. The 15-story pyramid-shaped building is surrounded by flourishing gardens, championship golf courses and glimmering pools. While dining options are abound during your stay here, the most popular among guests are Chula Vista and Tavola. Overlooking the Azteca salt-water lagoon, Chula Vista will tantalize your taste buds with the best Mexican cuisine has to offer. Both tasty and authentic, you won’t be disappointed. Tavola, which showcases a wood oven as the centrepiece of the restaurant, exemplifies exquisite Italian  cuisine while infusing local and indigenous ingredients. A trip to paradise wouldn’t be complete without a relaxing day at the spa. Willow Stream spa has everything you could want and more. Underneath a Palapa (a thatched roof ) you can take respite and enjoy hydrotherapy rooms; couples massages; Jacuzzi, steam and sauna rooms; lounge areas, a boutique and salon. If nuptials are in your future and you are contemplating a destination wedding, could you ask for a more perfect backdrop than the sun setting on a modern day Aztec temple, palm trees swaying in the breeze and a beach ceremony, just steps from the Pacific Ocean?
