Katie and I met in Houston for our flight down to Acapulco. We had a car and driver waiting to pick us up and transfer us to Las Brisas Hotel. What a beautiful place! The hotel is built on a hillside overlooking Acapulco Bay. There are about 250 rooms divided into individual casitas, most with a private pool. The roads to get to the casitas are very steep and the hotel transports you around in pink and white jeeps. In fact, everything in the place is pink and white and there are hibiscus flowers everywhere, including fresh flowers strewn daily in the private pools.
After lazing by our pool for a little while we decided to check out the hotel’s private beach club at the foot of the hillside. A shuttle transported us down a winding road through a housing area in which the average home price is $2.5 million. At the bottom was La Concha Beach Club. There really isn‘t a beach. Rather the hotel has built decks and walkways along the ocean and formed a couple of saltwater pools which are sheltered from the seas. There‘s also a freshwater pool and a lovely open air restaurant serving lunch. It was late in the afternoon so we only stayed a short time but decided to go back the next afternoon.
We had dinner at the hotel‘s Bellavista Restaurant overlooking the bay and the city. It was a spectacular view of the lights of the city of more than two million. Then it was off to bed after a long day, especially for Katie..
