The perfect spot to watch the sunset

Hammock was one of the required workouts!

Our home in Acapulco

Aaahhhh, Acapulco! The revived playground for the rich and famous – a city of fiestas. We arrived in good spirits and found the unpublished, new campground, Sol and Arena Resort, north of Acapulco in Pie de Cuesta. Pie de Cuesta is an urban resort area with 1st class restaurants and hotel accommodations, as well as four RV parks.

The Sol and Arena Resort had it all (minus the usual vendors and crowds). The RV site included a brick patio, a dipping pool, Wi-Fi, 30 amp service, good water (not for drinking), a sewer hookup and 24 hour security. The Resort had a large swimming pool, palapas with hammocks, a private beach, showers, restroom, outdoor meeting room with kitchen, casita rentals and a very friendly hostess. All of this for a small price of 250 pesos per night (about $18.00 USD) – weekly and monthly rates for even less.

One can request a cook to drop by with food and prepare dinner for two (about 200 pesos for the dinner including the food), request a cleaning woman to clean your RV (including a change of your bedding), and drop off the dirty laundry to be washed, dried, and folded (15 pesos per kilogram).

As an added bonus, we found an electrician on site and an A/C man nearby. In two days time, we had our electricity and air conditioners restored and fully operational. It doesn’t get much better than this. We extended our stay from three days to six days and just relaxed…

My jealousy runs rampant - sounds like heaven. Especially after having to floss the Oklahoma grit out of my teeth from being outside most of the day :) Happy to hear you managed your repairs. With all that loveliness, I'm surprised you'll ever leave.

Are you sure you ever want to come home. I'm here in Washington, enjoying the sun with a coat on.
