The Hollywood Gang Hideaway
Blog: Sophie's World - 20 December 2011
On a dramatic cliff in the hills above Acapulco, there’s a hotel. A deliciously kitsch, bright pink hotel.

As we drove north from Mazunte and Puerto Escondido toward Acapulco our journey was halted at a small town called Copala just short of our destination when we encountered a missing chunk of highway which had been undercut and washed away by heavy rain.
