First time in Mazatlan and I will go back soon. Room was huge and very clean. Very quiet area and that was nice after being in the gold zone all day. Almost had the beach to yourself and no peddlers. Never ate here so I can't complain about the resturant. Leave a small tip for housecleaning and you will be taken care of.

Have enjoyed the rooms here. The rooms are large, kitchen is wonderful, the beds are a lot better than the rock hard beds of Vidafel. Got great service when we had a problem with refrigerator. The rooms are cleaned beautifully every day.

It can be hard to get the rooms that you want though. The best ones are the suites.

Enjoy not having peddelers out on the beach and the pool last time we stayed was perfect. Not a lot of people using it and warm! Would be nice to see some better service at pool though and maybe food. We usually end up at gold zone on beach or at Vidafel for the beach service we can get. But it is nice to have the quiet of Marina to come back to after the hectic life of shopping in the gold zone.

One bad thing we had was dealing with cockroaches(seem to come from the rooms where people have bought and live there) but they were able to put us in another room that we didn't have issues with.

It was a terrible experience. The pool is too tiny enough for 4 persons, not more. The management tell you to use the swiming pool of the next door resort. The restaurant is not open for dinners, only for breakfast/lunch. The menu is too limited. They don't even have regular tea. They don't have room-service. The airconditionning is too old and noisy. You cannot sleep in the night from its noise. They have no beach facilities. You're on your own. The reservation desk ask for cash money (not credit cards) and do not give you receipt unless you insist on it. When they do, it is on a letter-head. Not on an official receipt because they don't keep a copy of it and don't claim the income to the government. If you want to pay by credit card, they bump the price to cover their income taxes and credit card charges. Because it is far from the tourist area, you have to pay extra money for the taxis or other transportation means everytime you want to reach the hotel or to go to the airport. If it was to me I would rate them - * (minus one star). The management don't have anything to show off with, so they show off with their neighbourhood facilities.

No matter what will happen, don't book yr vacation there.

The Marina Del Rey Beach Club is definately the largest size rooms in Mazatlan. They started out to be condominiums - they are not your typical smallish timeshare.

It is quiet - on the northern end of town, north of the marina. There is a small restaurant on site, open for breakfast and lunch (8am-3pm usually).

It is on the beach and WHEE there are virtually no peddlers there. Yet. There is a small pool on site. The buses run by about every 10 minutes - 70 pesos per person for the new ones, 35 for the older ones. (sabalo centro to go to the downtown area.)

This is a very reasonably priced, pleasantly large roomed and quiet place to stay. If you want night life - just go to the golden zone via bus, taxi, or pulmonia.

We enjoy staying there and the staff are very helpful.
