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.

The Melville Boutique Hotel

My seven-night stay at The Melville Boutique Hotel was absolutely perfect — a dream come true. I’ve wanted to visit this place for years, and it exceeded every expectation. Suite 18, also known as the Juan Ocon Suite, was spacious, beautifully renovated, and thoughtfully preserved its historic charm. The kitchenette was ideal for preparing light meals and breakfasts. The king-sized bed was incredibly comfortable, and my husband and I slept soundly throughout Carnival, thanks to our foam earplugs. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely kind — especially the housekeeper who cleaned our suite daily with a smile that lit up the room. The second-floor terrace overlooking the lush courtyard became our favorite spot for afternoon naps, surrounded by greenery and blooming bougainvilleas. The birdsong at dawn and dusk added a magical touch to the peaceful atmosphere. Located right in the heart of Centro Histórico, we were steps away from Plaza Machada and the Malecón. It was such a thoughtful gesture to provide a 19-liter jug of drinking water in the room — very convenient and appreciated. I truly wish we could have stayed longer. This hotel is a gem. Highly recommended for anyone seeking authenticity, comfort, and a memorable experience.

Paseo Lomas

This place is perfect for a family getaway! The location is just right—quiet enough to relax, yet close enough to walk to all the local attractions. Communication with the owner was excellent and always prompt whenever we had questions. Check-in was a bit confusing at first, but once we figured it out, everything ran smoothly. Overall, the stay was amazing—from the comfortable rooms to the welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a stress-free, enjoyable vacation in Mazatlán.

Palmilla Apartments

I absolutely loved staying at Palmilla Apartments! The location was perfect—close to the beach yet still within easy reach of town. I could walk to local spots or hop on the metro for quick access to other areas. The apartment was spotless, well-equipped, and even came with kitchen essentials—great for preparing meals on the go. The view from the building was stunning, especially in the morning when I woke up to the sea breeze and panoramic ocean views. The staff were friendly and helpful whenever I needed anything. Every detail felt thoughtfully considered. I’d definitely return without hesitation—this place truly exceeded my expectations!

Appartment Rodolfo Historical Centre

The property doesn't exist at all—this was a complete scam. How come there aren't stronger safety filters before listings go live? I ended up scrambling last minute to find somewhere to stay with my family, paying way more than expected because the booking I thought was secure turned out to be for a place that doesn't even exist. It's frustrating and disappointing to trust a platform only to be left stranded. Hope they improve their verification process so others don’t go through the same stress.

Hotel Mexico Mazatlan in Downtown

My week-long stay in Mazatlan was made unforgettable by the hotel and its incredible staff. The room was spotless, and I slept like a baby on the comfortable bed. What truly stood out was how welcoming and helpful the team was—especially for an English-speaking traveler navigating a new city. They went above and beyond to assist with local tips, transportation, and even recommended hidden gems I wouldn’t have found on my own. Their genuine hospitality made me feel at home. I’m already planning my return trip—this place deserves every bit of praise.

Suites Las Nereidas

We recently visited with our family and were truly impressed by the exceptional service and warm hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and every detail contributed to a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and perfectly suited for families—especially with kids. We’ve brought our children before for youth baseball tournaments in Tijuana, and choosing this property as our base was definitely the right decision. The location is convenient, the atmosphere peaceful, and the overall value is outstanding. I’d highly recommend it to any family looking for a comfortable, stress-free getaway.

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.
