Transit through Acapulco

[jeana]

Hi,

Will only be in Acapulco one day, departing a cruise ship, and leaving very early the next moring for a 7:00 am flight. I have been reading this forum and learned than the downtown (zocalo area) will be very close to the cruise ship.

 

Unfortunately, I'll have my luggage with me and won't be able to sightsee until I drop it at a hotel, but I'll probably want to head back to this area for the day.

 

Can anyone suggest a safe inexpensive hotel for the night, close enough for sightseeing and an early dinner (walking distance would be great, but not essential), but even more importantly, easy enough to get a cab at 5:00 am the next morning?

 

Probably should also ask if it is possible to reserve a taxi for that time, and how reliable that might be.

 

I am single, traveling solo, so safety is also of importance to me.

 

Thanks,

Jeana
