It has an interesting history - one of the staff told me about how this started as the FIRST beach resort in Mazatlan. Today, it's still a very quiet and meticulously clean hotel. I know the food tastes great at their beachside... More

The room was very clean as usual but the amenities we have enjoyed in the past were not consistent to what type... More

I have stayed here on trips several times and am never dissapointed. It is a beautiful traditional hotel. The outdoor hallways can be loud but what do you expect from tile flooring. It echoes..... Also, very family friendly. Would not hesitate to bring my family here. Always my first choice when in Mazatlan. More
