Fodor's "Today Los Flamingos draws an international clientele for its fine views and its coco locos, tequila drinks served in a green coconut."
Michelin Guide "In the 1950s, everybody who was anybody in Hollywood flocked to the former home of Johnny Weissmuller, alias Tarzan of the cinema, which had been transformed into a hotel."
DK Eyewitness "The charm is intact, and the rooms are still alluring."
Rough Guide "The “coco loco” cocktail was apparently invented here, and the lush gardens and sublime sunset views from Acapulco’s highest cliffs are a perfect accompaniment."
