In recent years, Acapulco has undergone a remarkable renaissance. Classic hotels have been renovated and areas gentrified. Clean-up efforts have transformed and renewed the entire area.

It often happens that development comes at a cost to the environment. The city government has invested over $1 billion in public and private infrastructure improvements to counteract any damage that might have occurred. A program instituted in the early 1990s has cleaned up the water and is preventing pollution or any destruction of the fragile eco-balance. As a result, Acapulco is thriving in every regard. With the return of clean beaches and pollution-free waters, the balance of nature has been restored and is being protected. Recently, whales have even been sighted offshore.

Visitors to this amazing resort town find a wide variety of beach and water activities. Snorkeling, scuba diving, parasailing, and fishing are all popular choices. The attractions on land are equally impressive, as each of the numerous resorts boasts world-class tennis and golf facilities.

At night Acapulco is transformed as the city springs to life. The nightlife is legendary, and the constant opening of new and ever more spectacular dance clubs shows that Acapulco remains the disco capital of the world. These clubs are always crowded, so visitors usually go to several in one night. The restaurants are also well-known for their variety, and the menu choices range from simple lunch offerings to world-class cuisine.
