Palladium
(http://www.acapulcopallad...) is the other super club in acapulco. it is in las brisas, perched on top of a cliff overlooking acapulco. the large panoramic glass wall which forms one side of the dancefloor is very impressive. prices are about the same as in alebrije, drinks included in the cover charge. tipping is also a good idea at palladium; one group saw non-tippers wait 20 minutes for service and tippers serviced immediately.
Classico del Mar
Is relatively new. it quickly became the favorite for locals and chilangos. it's not a expensive as baby'o but it doesn't have open bar as alebrije, palladium or mandara. the most interesting part about this club is that it has 3 levels: level 1 looks like a regular club with a lot of mirrors a colored-lights dance floor and theater boxes. level 2 has a small bar and the restrooms. level 3 is a deck with huge screens on the walls, tables separated with curtains and cliff view. the floor, tables, bar, everything is made of wood and the place its not closed so if it rains they wont let you up. if you decide to go there be sure to ask for a table here, its the best art of the club but, it might get a little hot.
Mandara
It's a smaller version of palladium, owned by the same people, but instead of electronic you get hip-hop and reggaetã³n.
Baby'O
(http://www.babyo.com.mx/) is one of acapulco's perennial favorites. baby'o is by far the most luxurious and expensive club in acapulco and is favored especially by the 18 to 35 set of mexico city's upper-class. here, you will be able to revel in luxury. expect to pay at least a $600 pesos cover charge and $80-$150 pesos for a drink.
La Costera, Acapulco's main street along the coast, is full of bars and clubs:
In the past few years Acapulco has become a preferred destination for spring breakers, with tens of thousands of students descending upon this resort town to drink away the sorrows of midterms in a multitude of bars and clubs. Be aware that the fancier places may have long queues outside and will probably not let you in if you wear shorts and/or sneakers.
