What to expect:
Sharing a 480-acre estate with its companion hotel, the Acapulco Princess, the Fairmont Pierre Marques offers secluded accommodations in a country-club atmosphere. Bordered by a golf course and the Pacific Ocean, the hotel specializes in tennis, swimming, and sun worshipping, and is favored by vacationing couples and celebrities. For a more bustling family scene, guests hop on a complimentary shuttle to the Princess, which is also home to the Willow Stream Spa.

Hotel Amenity highlights The Fairmont Pierre Marques offers rooms in a variety of buildings, including a small tower and single-story bungalows next to the beach. It has five outdoor hard-surface tennis courts, illuminated for night play. Across the street, guests will find an 18-hole championship golf course, home of the 1982 World Cup tournament. Stretching behind the hotel is Playa Revolcadero, a flat, sandy beach popular with surfers.

Insider tip:
Business tycoon J. Paul Getty vacationed at this site in the 1950s and then built the hotel as a summer retreat for his family and friends in 1957. The resort's original buildings were remodeled and are still part of the hotel.

Secluded hotel buildings are surrounded by tropical gardens and green lawns. The resort has three swimming pools overlooking the clean, sandy beach. In the main building, a shopping area includes a drug store, tennis and golf logo shops, and a souvenir shop.

For meetings and events, the hotel offers flexible conference rooms accommodating 15 -500 people. Front desk staff can arrange faxing, copying, secretarial, and shipping services (fees). High-speed Internet access is available in all common areas and conference rooms (fee).

The hotel purifies its water.
