was first introduced to Acapulco by my good friend Max Scott, back in April of 1985. But it only took one trip to make me fall in love with this jewel. The following January I took my wife Jane, her brother Tony and his wife Norma and personally showed them why I was always talking about this wonderful vacation spot.

ax had been to Acapulco many time before, so he knew all the interesting places to see and the most fun spots to visit. So I had a great tour guide as well. Many visitors love the new hotels, shopping, discos and the miles of white sandy beaches, but there are a couple of places that most visitors never get to see.
One of those is the older Acapulco and Coletta Beach. This is a beach just in front of La Requeta Island. Perhaps one of the reasons why I enjoy that part of Acapulco is the friendly people that I have come to know and love. Here are a couple of people that you should get to know when visiting that part of Acapulco, They are the friendly beach boys, Tony and Nacho, they are always ready help. How about a drink and some of the best hamburgers, fish & chips or for those more daring some of the Mexican foods.
