I have friends and family who go there or even have weekend homes there - they know what precautions to take and yet aren't entirely at ease.
If you like the new, Ixtapa or northern Puerto Vallarta; if you like more staid, Zuhuatanejo or Vallarta or some points south. My opinion, but I'd go elsewhere. (There's a reason for those great prices.)

I don't believe that Acapulco is safe. Nowadays, IMHO, you are much better off booking into either Cabo or Puerto Vallarta. I should point out that Cabo is really 3 types of resorts: Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo, and the luxury hotels in the Cabo corridor are all different types of experiences. Similarly, Puerto Vallarta proper (an authentic town with character), or the newer, more resort-oriented Nuevo Vallarta are two different types of places.
