The arrival of the Boca Chica Hotel is proof-positive that Acapulco has shed its package-tourist past. Perched above Punta Caletilla near Acapulco's historic Club de Yates, the Boca Chica has traded 1950s-era grit for 21st-century glamour. The spruced-up original facade leads to 36 newly designed rooms and suites inspired by the hotel's location and lore. Twenty Roqueta rooms spy La Roqueta Island across Acapulco's majestic Bay, while the trio of Caleta suites overlook tiny Caleta Bay.
