Mexico Central Time

Acapulco needs no introduction, so great are its charms that everyone knows about this Pacific paradise to such a degree that Acapulco no longer belongs only to the Mexicans but top all the world. This is way playing at the links of the ACAPULCO PRINCESS, PIERRE MARQUES, VIDAFEL OR ACAPULCO GOLF CLUB is to "finish high watching the ball fly" with a real sense of freedom. Enormous surf, gentle beaches, incredible sunsets, palm trees, flowers and tropical vegetation all make Acapulco special. Along with golf, visitors to Acapulco fish, dive and water ski on the bay or at Coyuca Lagoon. Cosmopolitan vacationers go to Pie de la Cuesta to watch the sunset and later stare open mouthed at the cliff divers leaping 130 feet into the waves.

Night time is for dining under the stars and dancing until dawn at the discos. Fiesta is what Acapulco is all about. Acapulco's neighbor, Ixtapa, is also a resort destination that has much to offer. All that's needed to demonstrate this is a playing a round at the IXTAPA GOLF CLUB which includes among its hazards the exceptionally difficult 15th hole, a 350 yard par four by the sea with a lake on one side, a river on the other and alligators in both. Golfers tee from a hill side, aiming toward the Pacific, where contrary winds can blow a ball either into the lake or onto the beach, which is out of bounds. Imagine! The entire course, 6,898 yards, ponds, and strategically placed sand traps, making it a real challenge for champions. Cocoyoc, one of the most mature courses found in Mexico, surrounded by haciendas and vivid vegetation: tulips, "bugambilias", and the greatness of a Mexican hacienda turned into a club house just for you.
