Acapulco real estate has become extremely popular because of it´s status as amajor sea port in the state of Guerrero on the Pacific, and a truly cosmopolitan city. Located on the coast of Mexico,  about 300 kilometres (190 mi) southwest from Mexico City, on a deep, semi-circular bay. It is a port of call for shipping and cruising lines running between Panama and San Francisco, California, United States. As of the 2005 census, the population of the urbanized area was 616,394, while that of the administrative municipality was 717,766 people. The municipality, which has an area of 1,882.6 square kilometres (726.9 sq mi), includes numerous small localities outside of the city. The tourist resort city of Acapulco is the largest city in the state, far larger than the state capital Chilpancingo. The climate is tropical, with warm to hot temperatures year-round. Precipitation is heavily concentrated in summer, while winter is mostly dry and sunny.

Since the 20th century, Acapulco real estate has been popular for tourists, and nationals alike, who  take long holiday weekends cruises from the United States, the Mexican interior and countries in South America. Eventually, it began competing directly with the Cancún on the East Coast as a super-tourist destination. In the past three decades, air fares have become increasingly affordable as international airlines added flights and infrastructure to support the increasing air travel. The two beach resorts are located on opposite coasts oriented due East and West from the other. The city has had its star-spangled times, leading Sammy Cahn to reference it in his lyrics for “Come Fly With Me”. Modern Acapulco is a featured destination for many Pacific cruise ship packages and international air carriers.
