Las 7 Maravillas - Adults Only

This place is absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, everything felt so welcoming and special. Our room, Egypt, was stunning — a breathtaking ocean view, a private porch perfect for morning coffee, a hot tub, and comfy outdoor loungers. The cleanliness and attention to detail were top-notch. Breakfast was an experience: fresh fruit, daily rotating yogurt flavors, granola, and that famous coffee served in traditional clay mugs — pure joy. And then came Tatiana’s personal touch — her delicious final breakfast course was unforgettable. Just one block from El Malecón, it’s easy to walk down and hop on a pulmonía or araña to explore the city. But the real highlight? Tatiana herself. She’s not just the owner — she’s a local guide, friend, and tour planner all in one. She arranged a fantastic trip to El Quelite at a great price, including a delicious meal. Gustavo joined us too — warm, fun, and full of insider knowledge. They made us feel like family. The property is secure, beautifully maintained, and incredibly peaceful. You come here as a guest… and leave as a friend. If you’re visiting Mazatlán, this is the only place to stay.

City Express Plus by Marriott Mazatlan

This time we decided to try a different area of Mazatlán instead of our usual spot in Zona Dorada, and we were pleasantly surprised. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and super convenient—just a short walk to the yacht departure point. When we returned, we noticed a brand-new bar/nightclub right across the street called Sala de Despecho, which turned out to be a perfect spot for some fun just steps from the hotel. The location, vibe, and overall experience made this stay a standout. Highly recommend for travelers looking for a relaxed yet lively atmosphere with easy access to local nightlife.
