We booked our trip through Interval International. First the good points, the pool and the beach are amazing. The rooms were quiet, alittle out-dated, but fine for sleeping. The resort is very quiet, peaceful, and away from the main Golden Zone. Very safe, and staff is very helpful and friendly. If you go-find the pool bartender-Martin'-he is fabulous-ask for his... more

We have been staying at Playa Maria for several years over Christmas. Over the years they have let the place go downhill a bit, but it still a pleasant experience. The room was cleaned daily and the staff was wonderful. We like the fact that Playa Maria is very small. This past Christmas we were the only people at the... more

First time to Mazatlan and it was incredible! We had a Junior suite that was in the building closest to the beach. The view was fantastic! There were a few things that weren't perfect .. the toaster only browned on one side and the coffeemaker pot was a replacement that didn't fit the unit and so the first pot went... more

We had a great stay over New Year's, the weather was cold but that's life. The restaurant wasn't open all the time but most people seem to cook in their rooms. The staff were warm and friendly and most spoke good English (or would try). Only down side was we when checked in were told the time share had been... more

We didn't actually stay at Playa Maria...but we listened to and fell for their time share presentation. We have totally paid off our contract and have paid our maintenance fees in a timely fashion. We have not had one e-mail question or request responded to by anyone at Playa Maria. They did not pay for our Interval International membership as... more

My husband and I stayed here from 4/28-5/5 and the first three days were great. It started out quiet and away from the Golden Zone. We stayed on the top floor overlooking the ocean and pool. We thought the rooms(we had a 2 bedroom adjoining suite) was very clean. The kitchen was a outdated, but the floors, the bathrooms were... more

We recently returned from Mazatlan and have stayed at this hotel many times - always quite enjoyable. This time we stayed nearby as we purched a condo. However, our frinds were staying at Playa Maria. Every time we went to visit them we were harrassed not only to purchase a time share but for tresspassing! The pool bartender would snear... more

This place is the definition of a Mexican dump - it appears to have started out with good intention but is now clearly struggling to keep the doors open. We booked a two bedroom through HSI and arrived to find our room musty, with a strong odour of sewage and dead cock roaches in the halls. There are condo's right... more

I have owned this property since it was built. It has alway been great till this year. The new owner has let this place go down hill. We checked in, We were told when we had a ocean view, we were next to the street . No microwave in the room and they could not find one. No TV remote... more
