Similarly, Puerto Vallarta proper (an authentic town with character), or the newer, more resort-oriented Nuevo Vallarta are two different types of places.
As one who has lived in Mexico, traveled extensively in Mexico and has family and friends in Mexico, I think your post is spot on. I can't in good conscience recommend Acapulco to anyone at this time.
