ACAPULCO HOTELS

 HOTEL LAS BRISAS

Blushing brides—such a charming and antiquated concept!—fit right in at this venerable honeymoon hotel perched on a hill high above Acapulco Bay. Various makeovers over the years have updated the property since its 1950s heyday, but this grande dame isn't into trends. Bathtubs are scarce in the 263 spacious but simple casitas, and the linens and towels feel more like Fieldcrest than Frette. Still, old-school panache abounds. Waiters balancing room-service trays complete with flower vases deliver breakfast to each casita's door in the morning. A shuttle leaves every 20 minutes to bring guests to the beach club at the foot of the hills, where pools are set like glassy ponds amid boulders and palms. You can always be lazy and float in your casita's private plunge pool instead.) A sunset dinner at the French–Mexican Bellavista restaurant is the perfect way to end the day.
