Formerly known as the Fairmont Acapulco Princess, this pyramid-shaped resort sits on roughly 480 oceanfront acres along Playa Revolcadero in Acapulco's Punta Diamante zone, about a 15-20 minute drive from Acapulco International Airport. The property is built around several pools, a private beach on the open Pacific, an adjoining golf course, and multiple restaurants and bars, with a spa, tennis courts, and a kids club rounding out the resort-scale amenities.
Princess Mundo Imperial Riviera Diamante Acapulco occupies a wide stretch of Playa Revolcadero in the Punta Diamante zone, roughly 15-20 minutes by car from Acapulco International Airport and a similar drive from the older Costera hotel strip. The resort's stepped pyramid towers, built in the 1970s and renovated since, remain one of the most recognizable silhouettes on Mexico's Pacific coast, and the grounds spread across nearly 480 acres of landscaped tropical gardens between the ocean and an 18-hole golf course. Room categories run from Deluxe and Premium rooms to Junior and Master Suites, most with balconies facing the pool gardens or open Pacific surf, which is stronger here than in Acapulco Bay and better suited to swimming in the resort's many pools than in the ocean itself. Dining spans several restaurants covering Mexican, Italian, and international menus, along with poolside grills and bars, and breakfast buffets draw on regional produce from Guerrero. The spa offers traditional and modern treatments in a dedicated wellness building, while the golf course, tennis courts, and a full kids club give the property a broad family and groups appeal alongside business and convention travelers who use its meeting facilities. Multiple free-form pools connect the towers to the beach, and a concierge and tour desk arrange transfers, golf tee times, and excursions into Acapulco proper. The scale of the property means guests can spend a full stay without leaving the grounds, and its distance from the Costera makes a rental car or hotel shuttle useful for anyone planning to explore downtown Acapulco or the Zocalo.
