Many users have praised the comfort and overall experience of traveling with this service, highlighting it as a great alternative to flying. However, some reviews mention that certain amenities like Wi-Fi were limited in coverage and there were issues with broken equipment on the bus.

Diamante Mexico City Acapulco recent customer reviews

We choose Diamante because of the luxury bus experience. This one was below standards. Refreshments were limited to 2 choices, coffee machine in lobby was broken, chairs on bus noisily rattled and leg recliner was broken. Guests on bus were loud and obnoxious, lifting feet onto my chair which resulted in my head being kicked twice before I smacked their feet off. I know that Diamante had no control over this, but it would have been not as hard if my chair wasn't broken and could at least have rested on the trip.

Me gustaría que sus asientos la parte donde pone uno los pies, fuera más arriba porque se siente muy abajo para poner los pies y acostar el asiento

Very comfortable bus with nice amenities - only issue was lack of USB charging facilities on bus even though their information said their buses had these. However, even with this one issue, I was very impressed with their service and would highly recommend them to others.

Estrella de Oro Pluss Mexico City Acapulco recent customer reviews

Boarding was chaotic and took a very long time, so the bus ran more than half an hour late. The journey itself was ok I suppose.

The 5-hr trip from Mexico City to Acapulco took over 7.5 hours due to frequent stops untelated to traffic or any apparent reasons.

Maybe the arrival time to Acapulco was listed wrong. I don’t know if it was really late. Everything else was fine; except traveling with my service animals was difficult. I’ll know what to do next time.

After following the directions provided on the map, we could not find our bus. The locals couldn't find it, neither. Missed the bus, to the least and we still aren't in Aculpoco
