"Acapulco isn't the first place you picture when you think of a quiet, seaside retreat, but the Banyan Tree Cabo Marques gives you the best of both worlds. There’s easy access to Acapulco’s restaurants, famous cliff-diving shows, and nightlife, and a remote tropical hideaway as soon as you enter Banyan’s tranquil fortress. Drive up a one-way road to a lush wall of palms and mangroves. Inside, bungalows etched into the cliffs reflect the beauty of the land with simple palettes and big windows that show off the coastal vistas. Villas 408 to 411 have the best views, but there really isn’t a bad seat in the house. Besides, you can always take in the sunset from the infinity pool that seems to spill out onto the sea, some 300 feet below." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"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."
