The other day we wrote about how the Las Brisas Acapulco resort has a Magic Box. Get your mind out of the gutter, the box is simply referring to a room service box which enables servers to drop off the food without disturbing guests.

Now we notice that Las Brisas has another cool amenity on site--a pink and white striped Jeep. OMG. So cute, right? And wait, it's not just one Jeep on site. They have a whole phalanx of these pretty-in-pink jeeps. We love. love. love.

If you know of any other cool or fugly hotel cars, send 'em our way!]]> juliana 2008-09-26T11:30:34-05:00 Spring Breakers + Mexico + Hotel = Fire http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/3/18/25551/0397 <![CDATA[<p><img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/images/icon_small_hell.gif">We're pretty sure the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Best+Western+Playa+Suites/ian/120293"><b>Best Western Playa Suites</b></a> in Acapulco, Mexico won't be keen on hosting Spring Breakers again.<p>Several Spring Breakers from the University of New Hampshire and Penn State were staying at the hotel when it caught fire early Monday morning.<p>The students had booked the trip through StudentCity.com and several had just arrived only a few hours before the fire broke out.<blockquote><p>One senior from Bedford said she and her friends ran down 12 flights of stairs after their suite began to fill with smoke. <p> They stood outside in their pajamas and watched the smoke climb, unable to collect their belongings until many hours later, said the student, Ashley Herrin, 22. <p> "I was stranded with juliana 2008-03-18T09:05:01-05:00 Acapulco Beach Hotel Rundown: Looking at Your Options http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/11/2/94535/7540 This is the last of the Mexico Hotel stories from HotelChatter Contributor Editor Tim Leffel. In case you missed one, check out his Acapulco Hotel Guide or his Zihuatanejo Hotel Guide.

For those in their 40s or older, the word "Acapulco" conjures up images of The Love Boat pulling into the dramatic bay and cliff divers just over the ridge. Decades before that it was a place where the Hollywood stars went to when they didn't want to be bothered. Despite the standard press lines about a comeback and "the return of glamour," Acapulco still feels a bit like a place struggling to regain its lost youth.
