    Hotel Los Flamingos 

From "The New York Times":

"An Acapulco Mexico landmark, Los Flamingos, perched on a cliff 150m (492 ft.) above Acapulco Bay, once entertained John Wayne, Cary Grant, Johnny Weissmuller, Fred McMurray, Errol Flynn, Red Skelton, Roy Rogers, and others. In fact, the stars liked it so much that at one point they bought it and converted it into a private club. The place is a real find in a kitschy campy sort of way -- although the aged rooms are simple and lack modern luxuries, much of the hotel retains the charm of a grand era. Photographs of the old movie stars line the hotel walls, and outdoor passages wind their way along the cliff overlooking the ocean. Most rooms feature dramatic sea views and a large balcony or terrace, although few have air-conditioning and bathrooms are bare-bones. Thursdays at Los Flamingos are especially popular, with a pozole party and live music by a Mexican band that was probably around in the era of Wayne and Weissmuller. Even if you don't stay here, plan to at least come for a margarita or "coco loco" cocktail (invented here) at sunset, and walk along the dramatic lookout point."
