The victims, who were discovered in the wee hours of Thursday in the Palma Sola neighborhood, have yet to be identified.
Police collected around 45 shell casings at the scene, a source in the Guerrero state Attorney General’s Office said.
The bodies were taken to the medical examiner’s office in Acapulco, a one-time major international tourist destination that has lost its luster due in part to organized crime-related violence.
Guerrero registered 77 homicides per 100,000 residents in 2012, Mexico’s National Institute of Statistics and Geography said in a report issued last July.
The state government, with support from federal authorities, launched an operation in 2011 to bolster security in areas frequented by tourists
