Marina Santa Lucia: We spent 4 days here Dec 2018. Manager Brenda, dock foreman Santiago and all the staff are just great. We didn’t want a Med moor due to our dinghy on davits, so the friendly staff took great care to set us up with a side tie, held off the fixed concrete pier by moorings fore and aft.

Brenda speaks very clear English and she personally took us to the port captain’s office and helped with our paperwork on arrival. On our departure date, the office was closed but Brenda set up a private appointment for us so we could clear out. The marina is not conveniently located to any stores or businesses as it is separated from them by short but steep roads.

We used taxis and one of the marina staff also drove us on one of our trips to the business district. You can get marine supplies, high priced, at the store in Club Yates but there is a small marine store with an amazing inventory of boat parts at better prices in Refacctionaria Las Americas, at Lopez Mateos #48 in the La Playa district. The men’s bathroom has good facilities including a shower and cleanliness was fine but the women’s restroom needed cleaning and there is no shower there.

New grocery store for provisioning in the West End (marina end) is called Superama, located across the street from La Marina. Great fresh produce and staples, reasonable prices, especially considering no taxi ride needed to the East End of Acapulco.

May 2014.
We stayed for a couple of nights at La Marina Acapulco. Cost ~$70 per night for a 47 ft Catamaran. No facilities. No restaurant, bar or laundry. The showers are dirty, broken, and in a construction area covered in animal faeces. There is a nice (and very empty pool). However, we were not allowed to use it. We were told it was only for condo owners or monthly slip renters. We moved to Club de Yates. A bit more expensive, but much, much nicer!
