spent 2 weeks in march at subject and found it very isolated from any activities with poor bus service and expensive cabs. Accom. was good but facility was dominated by resident owners who resented private renters and made you feel anything but welcome. Poor restaurant was seldom open and when it was, offered minimal menu choices at high prices. Bar... more

We stayed a week in a unit rented by a private owner in late April 2006. I personally found everyithing about the resort to be first class. It goes without saying that if one is looking for nightlife, they should go south to the golden zone. This is not a "3X1 happy hour how many shots can you do in... more

We have just returned from a 2 week stay at the Costa Bonita condominiums. We rented from a private owner and couldn't have wished for more. The condo was very clean and very well equipped. We knew about the position of the complex because of the research we did beforehand. The local buses do stop early but a short walk... more

We rented our condo from a private owner, not from the corporation that operates CB, and, after talking to other tourist/residents, I believe that we had a better all-around experience. Our unit was comfortable, clean, and well-appointed, and, in addition, the agent in charge of renting was pleasant and sensitive to our needs. The staff was unfailingly polite, pleasant, and... more

There are some pros and cons to staying in this condominium resort. First, it's well removed from the hot spots of Mazatlan, so if you want something more secluded, it can be just that. However, if you want more restaraunts, excursions or shopping, you'll have to catch a cab and ride for 10-15 minutes minimum. Because it is a condo,... more

Costa Bonita was ok, but there were definite problems. Very clean and very helpful and friendly staff. However, a gym was listed as an amenity on site. What they neglected to say was that it costs $6.00 per person per day to use it. A rooftop BBQ and wonderful view and jacuzzi was listed. Again, it was off limits to... more

Went to Costa Bonita with a group of 10 women. We stayed in three condos. Overall, accommodations were good--beds are very hard however. The resort atmosphere is very casual and relaxed, being north of the busier Gold Zone area. Tennis courts and fitness center are good. If you go, get a massage from Salvador--well worth the $25 per hour. Resort... more

Wow!!! My wife and I spent a couple of weeks in Mazatlan, and we can't stop talking about our special discovery ... Playa Bruja and Costa Bonita. Costa Bonita is a beautiful resort complex on the beach north of the Golden Zone. It's close to Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay, yet costs a fraction of the price. The place has big... more

We spent a little over a week and absolutely fell in love with the place. Service and accomodations were excellent. The views, the beach, the pool, the weight room were terrific. It was a bit intimidating a first to use the bus system. But after a couple of days we were old hands...and you can't beat the price (10 pesos... more
