We stayed here July 11-18. Two adult couples. This is a great vaule hotel. Be advised that this property is not what Americans typically would rate as a better property. Our entire stay we heard maybe 4 other guests that spoke English. it was quite nice, actually! Apparently this place is more popular with the Nationals. We opted for the... more

Great location! Lots of locals on the beach, kind of busy at times. The food was okay. The show that is advertised wasn't all that (food was bland). Keep in mind accomodations aren't what we are used to here in the states. I would stay again. Super friendly staff and felt very safe. more

I have been loyal to this hotel for the last 10+ years, despite some problems in previous stays but this time I noticed several areas of concern and disappointment. The room are not as nitid as they used to be. Showers are not well maintained, rusted in some areas and leak under the shower doors (you have to keep on... more

The toll free number on their website does not work. Sent them 3 emails and got no response. Finally got an actual phone number for them and confirmed room twice to make sure I got deluxe ocean view which I did. Service is VERY BAD. If you are a gringo you get treated like dirt. I was ignored many times... more

We had a wonderful stay at the Playa Mazatlan. We were especially impressed by how clean the rooms and property were. The staff seemed very dedicated to the guests. Even the general use bathrooms near the beach were always clean. The area by the water was one of the best beach access points for as far as we could see... more

Location, Location, Location is what the Playa Mazatlan represented to us. Never having been to Mazatlan before, we did not realize the Hotel was in the heart of the Golden Zone. Actually, 40 years ago when the Playa Mazatlan opened was when the Golden Zone began. We would not take the all- inclusive option again as there is only one... more

There were 7 in our family that went on this 1st time trip to Mazatlan. The hotel was nice enough and like I said friendly people and the beach at the hotel was cleaned every morning by the same nice young fellow. You had to go early in the a.m. to get a spot with a cabana or you were... more

We spent 2 weeks at the Playa Mazatlan. The hotel's location was very good. We had a good room on the second floor, with ocean view and huge balcony, however, we were very close to the restaurant and at apporx 6 a.m. each morning we were woken to scraping chairs and banging . The beach was lovely and we walked... more
