A traveler reports that Marco and Tanya are gone and that the hostel honcho may not approve of the van being used for rides -- we'll keep you posted.

Former Kingdom hostel managers (and happy couple) Tanya and Marco used to live on site and loved it. Marco said he wants Acapulco visitors to feel at home, and he meant it. As he put it: "I have a good life and a good wife." We would agree.

Kingdom hostel's other half is still there and includes the mom-like housekeeper who's been here -- get this -- twenty years. You know it's a decent place when the housekeeper has worked there for twenty years. And when the place is white-glove spotless by 9:00 a.m.

Lest we forget, a few other awesome touches:

  • Cuddly hostel gato (Tita) welcomes other pets
  • Linen included
  • Hefty brochure rack
  • Money exchange
  • No curfew or lockout
  • Car parking directly in front
And the piece de resistance: the Kingdom hostel is an HI (Hostelling International) youth hostel. It has to stay aces to meet HI's high standards.
