Eleven people were kidnapped at the same bar Dec 17.
Two of the victims were later found dead, but the others are still missing.
The drug-related violence in Acapulco, located about 300 km south of Mexico City, has spiked recently, prompting business owners and hoteliers to complain about a drop in tourism.
A man’s body was also found early Sunday in Cuernavaca, a city located between Mexico City and Acapulco.
The man was apparently killed by the South Pacific cartel, a branch of the Beltran Leyva cartel, Morelos state Attorney General’s Office spokesmen told EFE.
Thousands of tourists are expected to arrive in Acapulco for the New Year’s holiday.
