"Though the city of Acapulco has seen better days, the Banyan Tree Cabo Marqués has been a private escape since it opened in 2010. The Asian-inspired design includes villas on stilts with pitched roofs, each with its own private pool and wood sundeck. Interiors are adorned with Talavera earthenware, black onyx lamps, and etched-tin mirror frames. Visit the cliff-perched restaurant Saffron for traditional Thai food overlooking the Pacific or Las Rocas Grill and Bar for fresh grilled seafood and meat."
