Nice places to rest on the way to Chichen Itza from Acapulco

My wife and I are planning our Mexican tour. We will start with Acapulco. We also plan to spend most of our time there. After all, it is a beautiful place to stay. However, we are planning to visit many places and Chitzen Itza is among them. Are there any nice places to rest on the way to Chichen Itza from Acapulco?

The whole Mexico is very nice and wherever you go or stay you will have a good time. I enjoyed every trip there. There are many nice places to stay briefly and rest on your way from Acapulco to Chichen Itza. Here are few suggestions: Tlapa, Oaxaca, Acayucan, Coatzacoalcos, Villahermosa, Palenque, etc.
