Despite some aged facilities, it's understandable given the hotel's over 80-year history. The location is nearly perfect—most of the Old Town attractions are just a short walk away, and the ocean views are absolutely stunning. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the stay feel warm and personal. Breakfast isn't overly elaborate, but the dining area is cozy and comfortable, perfect for starting the day right. The only minor downside is that weekend evenings can get noisy from music on the street in front—definitely noticeable if you're light sleeper. Still, this doesn't take away from an overall fantastic experience. Great value, great atmosphere, and a memorable stay that I’d happily repeat.
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.
We visit Mazatlán quite frequently, and this hotel has quickly become our go-to choice.

I did see a few negative reviews before booking and was hesitant, but I’m so glad I didn’t let them sway me. For the price, the included breakfast was outstanding—fresh, varied, and delicious. It made the whole experience even better. This hotel offers great value and comfort, and we’ll definitely be returning whenever we come back to Mazatlán. A solid, reliable choice for travelers who want convenience and quality without the hassle.

Staying at the Holiday Inn Resort Mazatlan was an absolute delight! The room offered an unbeatable ocean view—every morning felt like waking up in a postcard. The breakfast spread was delicious and varied, with fresh local touches like handmade tortillas and tropical fruit juices that made for a perfect start to the day.

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.

Staying at Don Pelayo Pacific Beach was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from the beach and perfectly situated for exploring the local area. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making every interaction smooth and pleasant. Rooms are well-maintained, clean, and equipped with everything you'd need. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and served with care. One minor note: if you're on the Malecón side, there can be some noise from the street, especially in the evenings. But honestly, that’s a small trade-off for such an amazing spot. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of Mazatlán with comfort and convenience.
Staying at Coral Island Beach View Hotel was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—right on the Mazatlan Malecon, just steps from the beach.
