Alicia that works the day shift that checks u in, is awesome! She always remembers us and our names:-) The entire staff, other than the young bartender are great and very... More

The hotel has been around since the late 1800 and much has not changed, but it is in the process of a remodel. So far only paint has been done but the owner told me that the whole hotel will be brought up to modern standard. As for location, you could not ask for anything better. You could throw a... More

My wife and I have been staying at the Bel-Mar since probably1992 or before. We've made some pretty good friends either working in the hotel {Niko, Alicia] or surrounding business's. Fonda Santa Clara is a couple doors down and the staff is alot like the Bel-Mar. Always wearing a smile and always there to serve. When we return, I'm always... More

Updated prices for rooms are: Inside, courtyard view 450 pesos per night, ocean view 550 pesos per night. There are a lot of nicer hotels for a lot less money. The staff are its biggest asset and were great.

I first stayed at Hotel Belmar in November 2007, and returned 10 times over the course of three years. The Belmar is not for everybody - but if you want a unique location, with a funky vibe and amazing prices - you should check it out. It is NOT the Marriott, and maybe not even a three-star place... but the... More

You have to stay there to understand....very big, very old and not for scardey cats. Was once a place wherer celebrities stayed - before the Golden Zone. Real Mexican history!

Best location in Mazatlan! Right on Olas Altas, across from the ocean, and within easy walking distance of Plazuela Machada (the heart of Mazatlan), the central mercado, Angela Peralta Theatre, and all the center of town has to offer. The rooms are clean and comfortable - not fancy - and the staff is fabulous, friendly and helpful. The swimming pool... More

I stayed there couple of hours on 1st August 2007. The hotel has 2 parts. One had rooms with enter from palanda in the yard with pool. Those rooms are survivable, but for that price I think you can get better (eg. Cabinas al Mar). I had the room inside the hotel and I moved to different place in couple... More

The Belmar Hotel has 3 things going for it. A spectacular view, Great location & a great price. Pretty much everything else is substandard. I stayed there Jan. 29th thru Feb.2, 2007 in an Ocean view room on the 6th floor. I paid $32 per night (taxes included). The room was sadly in need of a renovation. The bathroom was... More
