Margaritas is right in the Golden Zone of Mazatlan. We had easy access to great restaurants, small shops, and the beach across the street. I felt secure throughout my stay, and enjoyed staying in a smaller hotel, which local people recomended.

The pool is quite small, but well kept. We would often just go across the street and use acess to some of the other pools avaliable or jump in the amazing ocean. The whole hotel is very clean, and the maids are friendly and efficient.

The rooms are cool and provide relief from the heat. We found that rooms on the third floor are typically more roomy, than those on the second floor. If you need wheel chair access this might not be the best, as there are only stairs avaliable. Insteed it would be best to stay on the ground level.

We were told that the plumbing is not the same as we are used to in the US or Canada, so to ensure no problems it is best not to flush any paper products down the toliet (incld. toliet paper). Instead put paper in the waste basket, which is emplied daily. We had problems with one of our showers which would spray water all over the bathroom if the pressure was at max. But it wasn't a problem once we figured that out. Don't drink the water from the tap! Instead bottled water is provided outside your room on each floor in a water cooler (remember to bring a water bottle to fill up!) But fill up before the evening, because on busy days the water bottles usually get pretty empty by the end of the day. Bottled water is also provided in the rooms at a cost...but it's pretty expensive, instead just go to the corner store next door and get more for your money!

The beds were quite hard and short. If you're really tall this might be uncomfortable for you. Everything was quite clean though. The rooms were quite a good deal, and the hotel worked well to host larger groups of people, wedding parties, and youth groups at a very affordable cost.

My favorite place to go all week was Gus Gus restaruant and bar just next door to Margaritas Hotel. It had great food, very friendly service, and had live music every night! It was a perk to be so close to it!

Overall, I would return to Margaritas because it is quite a good deal, good location, secure, and clean.
