Acapulco Goes Chic: Introductory Rates at New Banyan Tree Cabo Marqués Resort

The "Pearl of the Pacific" is going upscale. With the recent opening of the clifftop Banyan Tree Cabo Marqués, Acapulco got its first truly five-star resort, and a swank one at that. Private pool villas are built on stilts, their floor-to-ceiling windows capturing extraordinary views of Acapulco Bay and the Pacific, not to mention Acapulco's famous sunsets! Interiors are just as stunning as the Banyan Tree's architectural design; each personal villa is decked out with plush furnishings, Mexican artwork, a plasma TV, stereo system, and all the latest technology. What's more- each villa boasts an outdoor pool and timber sundeck surrounded by gardens. For a limited time, guests can take advantage of a special introductory offer: stay two nights, get a third night free plus daily breakfast for two people. Even better, when you stay for three consecutive nights, you'll get a 90-minute massage session in addition to the free night and daily breakfast. Valid for the Valley View Pool Villa category and above, the offer is bookable til August 29 for stays through August 31, 2010.

PS. This is the second resort for Banyan Tree in Mexico, after the March 2009 debut of the Banyan Tree Mayakoba south of Cancun.
