Some of the many reasons my wife & I loved this hotel. The staff is friendly, attentive, & competent. Rooms are pretty, clean & quiet. The hotel's main color theme is blue & white. All rooms have a view, & most have a balcony with table & chairs. You do not hear road traffic, nor loud bar music when trying... more

What a great hotel The Elcano is. Classic late fifties/early sixties design, huge lobby, big rooms, big bathrooms and the only hotel in Acapulco that has a balcony in every room which faces the water. Air-con and fans in each room, rooms serviced twice a day, friendly staff, delicious buffet breakfast, large pool with four jacuzzis and private space on... more

The rooms are really... more

My friend and I spent two amazing weeks at the El Cano and I must admit it was awsome! We stayed in what they describe as a regular room but we found it above average. Very clean, beautifully decorated, especially the bathroom. The towels were changed more often than we needed, but, hey, that's OK. The beds were a bit... more

The hotel was lovely, clean and housed all the amenities, however, I found the staff was a bit cold and unfriendly. I'm speculating that it may have something to do with the shooting reports being highlighted by North American media recently (making Mexico seem like a scary place, and perhaps angering the Mexican people?), but the staff truly gave the... more
