Listen to her, not just Acapulo, avoid the whole country of Mexico.
It seems you may not keep up with current events, thats okay. But I would really read up tons of material about any destination, and check out how visitors are treated there before I leave Canadian soil.
Lots of shit goes on in different places. Things we take for granted here, you'll find do not exist.
there are many places in mexico i would visit without hesitation though...but more so because i appreciate the culture, not the beach. ive been to mexico city, did a 16 day road trip across mexico, and had an amazing time in Oaxaca.
that said, there are beaches south of cancun that intrigue me. and these lovely fresh water swimming holes (underground cave systems actually) that are just gorgeous. google mexico and ceynotes if you are interested..

A not close friend's parents own a house in a GATED community in Mexico. Not sure exactly where, but I surmise it is close to the Gulf coast. They prefer the warm year round weather and the dollar goes far in Mexico.
Thanks everyone. Yes, I'm aware of current events. Unfortunately this was all set up a while ago.
I've been to Cancun and Playa and had a great time. Now I'm gonna see Acapulco. I'm a little concerned but I don't plan on moving far off the beach....
Funny, I wasn't expecting the "avoid the shithole" response. Now I'm really bummed
Thanks everyone!

Don't worry about the above comments. There is some major exaggeration going on there! I haven't been to Acapulco in some years, but I used to go there all the time, and it was my favourite spot at that time. It is great for meeting local women from Mexico City (they're called Chilangas!), has a great array of awesome restaurants, and for clubbing, the only place better might be Vegas. The nightclubs there are out of this world. Like I said, I haven't been there in a while, so things may have changed.
As to the dangers, I know people that have been there recently, and it really hasn't become as dangerous as the rumours. True, there have been a couple of incidents, but then again, a couple of incidents happened in Toronto in the last year....does that mean you won't venture downtown? The reality is that it is a latin destination, and most if not all latin countries have their dangerous areas, and you should never be walking around waving your cash (ie. expensive watches) around. The only reason that latin countries are a little more dangerous than here is because of the divide in economic status compared to 1st world countries. Now someone might chime in and say that Costa Rica is totally safe. Have you ever been to San Jose? I have, and I'll take Acapulco (a fairly large city and not just a beach resort) over San Jose any day, when it comes to feeling safe!
Go to Acapulco, pick up some local chicas, enjoy the beautiful non-stop sunny weather, and dine in the awesome sea side restaurants. You'll have a great time, and you're pretty much guaranteed beautiful hot sunshine!
And please come back and post a review of the place!
Cheers
