Acapulco Botanical Garden may be one of the most classically romantic sites you can visit in Acapulco, with acres of tropical oasis nestled in the Sierra Madre Mountains. This garden is intricately tended and cared for, and as you wind your way through the walking paths, you'll see water features, rock sculptures, and tonnes of plants in every size and colour, from exotic flowers to lush ferns to rare and endangered hardwood trees. The park is noted, in fact, for its seriously endangered Peltogryne Mexicana, or purpleheart, trees.
The park is only 10 minutes away from city centre Acapulco but seems like a whole separate world. Be aware that there aren't any restaurants in the garden, so bring a snack.

Visit a hidden gem of a local beach
- 어드벤처

Playa Majahua, or Majahua Beach, is a great way to escape the hustle and bustle and steal away a few moments of privacy in soft golden sand and clear waters. The beach is small and lesser-known than others, which means that it's a hidden gem with fewer crowds and a more peaceful spot to recharge your batteries. The surf is calm and the sand warm. This is a beach that's known more to locals than travellers, and during the high season makes a perfect place to stake out a spot and just be.
The beach is an ideal spot to splash, catch some rays, read a book, and find romance. It's 23 minutes south of town.
