Pier D Luna

Acapulco


This tucked-away retreat has a view so good that the enormous lounge and dining room, complete with baby grand piano, is wholly open-sided: what a marvelous space it is. Five individually designed rooms enjoy the same outlook; some have balconies to soak it all up. Hospitable hosts make this a delightful personal experience and breakfasts are abundant. Two-night minimum.

There's a pleasant pool and Jacuzzi upstairs and a great saltwater pool on the bay, to which you can descend via private stairs. Delicious chef-cooked French-Mexican meals are available by arrangement. Pay attention to the directions you'll be sent, as there are no signs. Reserve ahead.
