Questions & Answers
Why Acapulco?
Back in November 2012, we took one of our very first trips together to Acapulco. One of Dennis’ famous oyster stories happened here (ask us about it!), and since that night we say we’ve officially been together. At the beginning of our relationship, we spent New Year’s there every year with Dennis’ family.
But Ani’s story with Acapulco started much earlier: it was the very first trip of her life! When she was just 40 days old, her parents took a road trip to visit her dad’s family, who still live there (find them at the party!) – a great excuse for a family reunion.
And one of the main reasons we chose Acapulco: the sunsets. It’s one of our favorite places to watch the sun go down, holding hands on one side and a cocktail on the other.
What can we give you as a wedding gift?
Having you celebrate with us in Acapulco is the greatest gift of all, especially knowing how far you’re traveling to be there! If you would still like to give us an additional gift, we would be very grateful. You can find our bank details on the Gifts page.
Do I have to stay at Hotel Las Brisas?
Not at all! We’d love for you to stay with us at Hotel Las Brisas. It’s a beautiful place, and staying there makes it easy to spend time together and meet the other guests between events. If you book, use the code “Boda Ani & Dennis” by March 2, 2027. But Acapulco has great hotels for every budget, so feel free to stay elsewhere. Booking.com is a good place to start.
How do I get from the airport to Las Brisas?
Hotel Las Brisas is only about 20–25 minutes from Acapulco Airport (ACA). Just buy a ticket at the official taxi counter inside arrivals. A taxi costs roughly MXN 600–900 (about € 30–45) per car, so sharing with other guests makes it even cheaper. You can also ask the hotel to pick you up when you book your room.
What’s the weather like in early April?
Pack for summer! Early April is the dry season in Acapulco, so expect sunshine, blue skies and around 30 °C during the day, with warm evenings that are perfect for dancing. Bring light clothes, sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen.
Do I need a visa or anything special to enter Mexico?
Good news: with a passport from Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK or the US, you don’t need a visa. Just make sure your passport is valid for your whole trip (ideally six months, to be safe). There’s no paper form anymore: on arrival you’ll either use the e-gates and keep the little QR receipt (your digital entry form), or get a stamp in your passport. Have your return ticket and hotel booking handy, and if you’re flying from Europe via the US, don’t forget your ESTA.
Is it safe to travel to Acapulco?
Yes, for visitors who use common sense. Stick to tourist areas, take hotel or app taxis, avoid walking alone at night, and keep valuables out of sight. Use the same caution you would in any big holiday city.
Any tips for food and drink?
Enjoy the rich Mexican food culture, but go easy for the first few days. Drink only bottled or filtered water, and skip ice from street stands. Be careful with raw salads, raw seafood and very spicy dishes. Hotels and good restaurants are generally a safe bet.
