I cannot begin to stress how safe you feel, even a couple of "old ladies" like us. i was a little saddened... More

When I asked my parents, who live in Mazatlan during the winter, for the “best hotels in Mazatlan” my Dad recommended Hotel Playa Mazatlan as “probably the best overall experience. Great location (Golden Zone for convenient shopping). Good food at very good prices. Return rate is over 80%. Fourth generation owners.” So, I booked three rooms, including one for my... More
