    Thank you for bringing this amazing destination "back" into attention! Been going since mid 80' s, and although not so many Americans and Europeans anymore ( that's ok!) It's never lost it's charm! Thanks for putting the " fear thing" into perspective. The best authentic videos....one after another!

      Hi Paul! Yes it’s so nice - a little rough around the edges but once you settle in, it’s grows on you. It’s definitely been through it’s fair share of ups and downs. We truly enjoyed it and are so glad that we could share our experiences with others. 💕

    We live in the Diamante area of Acapulco and it's particularly nice here. Huge beach that is much quieter (with a very light coloured sand). The Princess Hotel is a cool place to visit, it's a five star hotel with flamingos, swans and a mackaw bird and they have a nice cafe on the beach with lots of palm trees. This area is quite safe. I don't think Acapulco is any more dangerous than many large cities in the world as long as you don't go off the beaten path and like you said keep your whits about you.

    Your Mexico travel vlogs really are the absolute best across the board: quality, content, aesthetics, engagement with the country. Thanks for another wonderful video. :) What a sweet moment at the top of the mountain, by the way. I lost my sister in my thirties, and it never really goes away. It's a crappy club to be a part of, and I'm sorry, Heidi. In moments of stillness and connection with nature, we can tune in with the ethereal if we're open. I had some very intense experiences when I did the Camino a few years ago. Sending you good energy in your healing.

    When I lived in Cholula in the early 70's, we would drive to Zihuatanejo for a long weekend. At the time, it was an 11-hour drive.
    Some of our friends would hang out at Pie de la Cuesta, just north of the city.

I had watched this video before but didnt really make note of the place you stayed. just by chance it was available for the dates I wanted, was in the area I wanted and was in my budget. I'll be there mid January for a month.

    This very beautiful place even used to be considered the best beach tourism area in the whole world since more than 70 years ago! There are even great songs about this very beautiful place by such world class artists such as: Elvis Presley, Neil Diamond, Frank Sinatra (Come Fly With Me) and even Ringo Starr (with his "Las Brisas" song) and even the "Clinton's" (President Clinton and his wife) said that they decided to have their "honeymoon" there! Therefore it's a shame that so many insecurity problems have come over this very beautiful place over the last 20 years but still not even that could take away such great beauty! that so many people from all over world have appreciated, enjoyed and even recommended so much and for so many years! they sure were right! and they still are right! that's for sure! in that great appreciation! so thank you so much for bringing us back such very good memories that many of us have from such a beautiful place! and also for showing us and to the world that this very beautiful place is not now actually a "war zone"! just as many people would think today! or would imagine today after so many bad news from such a beautiful place! a very beautiful place! I'll say it again! 👍

    Yet another great video, guys. As you said it's good to see the other side. The last post I saw about Acapulco was that there are areas that even the police won't go because it is too dangerous. That kind of bad rap costs the city millions when people avoid going. Your video shows a wonderful place to visit as long as you are careful, like paying a few bucks for someone to watch the scooter. Good advice.

    • @TheCountryCollectors
      @TheCountryCollectors  2 роки тому +5

      Yeah before going we did some research and saw that most the videos were all about how dangerous it was and we didn’t want to go that angle at all. I don’t think its appropriate when you don’t even live there to make bold statements like… “we heard it was dangerous, but it’s not,” because what do you really know when you’re just visiting for 1 week and staying in the tourist zone. It just seems irresponsible as a content creator. We wanted to highlight the good and also remind people to take precautions like always. Glad you enjoyed it!

All the entertainers were lining the street as well as everyone else. There were some entertainers there from Argentina and they dressed them up like Mexicans due to the Falkland Islands situation. Fun remembering.
