Where to Stay Along Mexico's Pacific Coast

Mexico’s stunning Pacific Coast ranks among the most iconic destinations in the country.

On September 12, 2024, the inaugural list of Mexican Key hotels was revealed, showcasing top recommendations from our Inspectors, with several earning the prestigious Key distinction for excellence.

This recognition is timely as tourism flourishes in places like Cancún and Tulum on the east coast, while the western coast is ready to reclaim its status. The Pacific Coast offers a scenic stretch from Nayarit to Oaxaca, featuring historical beach towns such as Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta.
