Acapulco, located in Guerrero, is known for its challenges, including violence and hurricane damage. Our budget-friendly van ride from Mexico City was initially uneasy but turned out well. Upon arrival, we observed Hurricane Otis's aftermath—worn buildings and scattered debris—yet the city’s resilience shone through. We navigated the city’s challenges, from finding a taxi to exploring the vibrant Zocalo. Despite the hurricane’s impact, our stay at the well-maintained Casa Blanca Grand offered comfort. Discovering the lively beach and bustling markets enriched our Acapulco experience, showcasing both the city's recovery and its enduring charm.
