A friend and i visited Mazatlan for the first time for a week Jan 31-Feb 7, 2009. I have been to Mexico many times, but enjoyed this first visit to the city. :et me first say that I have read many many of the other reviews about this hotel prior to my stay and i did take the advise of... more

I stayed at the Emporio for 3 nights at the end of Jan.'08, and loved it! It was my first trip to Mexico, and my first time travelling alone, so I was a little nervous. The staff at the Emporio did wonders for allaying any fears I had about being a SWF traveller, and helped me out in anyway they... more

Very noisy !!! Hard to sleep with music from accross the street.... View of ocean is good from most rooms. more

Easy check in, very nice room, very good food, exceptional staff, nice beach, nice front space.. Are repeating this November. Take earplugs for disco a few doors down. more

My girlfriend and I arrived at the Playa Mazatlan at 3:00 p.m. February 13 and were immediately checked in to our room, which was overlooking the ocean and the dinning room. Our room was very clean, we had all the features of a four or five start hotel (which I have stayed in) maybe not as rich but comfortable. We... more

We arrived Nov. 29, 2007 and left-with such sorrow!-on Dec. 5. We had a glorious room (#305) right on the ocean (it seemed we were right "on top"). The sound of the surf was fantastic, the hotel so very pretty and comfortable, grand views, bouganvillia, three pools, super palapa bar and restaurant on the beach, music, great service, happy hourS,... more

This was our second trip to Mazatlan and our first stay at the Emporio. We booked this hotel because there was to be no buffet, well that was all we got, our son had stayed here last year and told us each meal he had he was able to order off a menu, after checking with our travel agent we... more

My friend and I stayed at the Emporio for 3 nights at the end March for a girls weekend.. First the positives: Location was fantastic.. Within walking distance to food, shopping. Very cheap cab fare to get into the city. Room was clean. Smaller than expected, but served its purpose. The bed was super comfortable - and the comforter must... more

All the good stuff in past reviews are true, the staff and rooms are number one in my books. The noise level from the street make the street side units impossible for the average light sleeper. At 4 a.m. the idiot fringe is out with musical car horns, drunken shouting and all that goes with it such as screeching brakes... more
