Boca Chica is a great place to stay! My husband and I stayed there for a week and were sorry to leave when we finally did. The hotel is located on the western part of Acapulco. It is bordered by a beach and a cove and is directly across from Isla de La Roquesa. Easy access to zocalo by multiple, cheap buses, but far enough away to be quieter.
The hotel itself is a bit dated and basic, but very clean! Rooms have private bathroom/shower, cable TV, AC, and fantastic views of the Bay. There is also a lovely, well-kept garden on its grounds. The staff is pleasant and friendly and helpful (the front desk directed us on how to get to places and warned us when we should take taxi instead of bus, etc) and accomodate either English or Spanish. Boca Chica has a complimentary breakfast (American or Mexican food) and an outstanding -- allbeit a bit pricey -- seafood restaurant. (We normally don't eat at the same restaurant twice while on vacation, but did at Boca Chica!) Pool, too, and easy access to either the beach or cove waters.
I would consider this a great mid-range hotel with a definite Mexican feel to it. There were travelors from all over the world here, as well as many Mexican families.

This is a small, family run hotel in a more private part of Acapulco. We stayed in the honeymoon suite on the 3rd floor, which had amazing views. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and there is a beautiful pool on one side of the beachfront property, and private access to ocean swimming on the other side, with a bar and restaurant in between. Highly recommended!

This is a great place, spectacular views, friendly service, have stayed there many times, , the rooms i have stayed in have had great views and good sized balconys, restaurant has some of the best seafood i've ever ate, give this place a try, its a real jewel.

I am a business traveler, so I know what is, and is not, a good value. I work for a major airlines and traveling is a good part of my job. When I go on vacation, I want to be treated like I am important (you know, like you are a valued customer). The staff at Boco Chica made me feel important. The hotel is located in the old portion of the city, however, I felt safe and very much part of the wonderful experience of being in Mexico. Do not expect to have a hair dryer, telephone or even a clock in the room. When you are on vacation, it seems these are the things that should be taken away to truely enjoy yourself. I must say, at first I was taken by surprise to have these things not available to me. It took only a few hours at this wonderful place to "throttle back" and enjoy the ocean sounds and unbelievable sights this place has to offer. The food that is prepared by the chef (that was trained in Germany)was the best! I will be back to visit this wonderful hotel. It is the place to go if you want to truely "go on vacation in Mexico".
