I went to this hotel for Spring Break during graduate school. I have been on Spring Breaks before and I wasn't looking for a ""party hotel"" but I wanted something that had a fun spirit and was centrally located around other activities and clubs. This hotel was perfect! The people are so nice and friendly. It is right in the middle of the Zona Dorada and within walking distance of many restaurants and clubs. if you need to go farther (which you likely will because Mazatlan is BIG), the taxis are cheap (around $5 to $8). If you are planning to be at the hotel for a week or more I would suggest paying for the all inclusive stay. I did not do this but my friends did and it paid for itself many times over. Overall, awsome hotel!

We stayed at this hotel for 7 nights and 8 days. When we first arrived they gave us a room that had a door that did not lock at all. The patio deck was full of bird droppings. I asked for a different room and got one, we looked at it, everything worked so we took it. That night when we went to bed it was like laying on a cement slab. The matress was about 4 inches thick and it was placed on a concrete slsb. The pillows were not much softer. Every morning when the room was cleaned while we were gone we would get backand have to go searching for a maid and try to get towels,face cloths, face towels, soap and shampoo. the bed was made but the sheets were never cleaned. The best feature of this hotel were the employees that were in the front at the desk.

We have been vacationing at CDO every November for 15 years. We call it home away from home. The front desk staff is very friendly & accomodating. We agree that the beds are a little too firm but you can ask for pads for the beds at the front desk and this year they had begun to upgrade the mattresses and we found the new ones to be quite comfortable. The rooms are very clean and the maids are very friendly and we have no complaints about room service. They're very prompt. We recommend the on site dining as well. Food and service are excellent and breakfast is great. We did not haave a good experience at GUS GUS across the street. The drinks are watered down and service was slow. However, the music is usually pretty good. We found a new place to eat a couple of years ago called Los Zarapes. EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!! We agree, this isn't your typical 5-star resort, but the value for the money can't be beat and the atmosphere is unmatchable. It's the best place for catching a glimpse of the ""green flash"" at sunset.

Food at CDO is not the best! I would recommend eating at GUS GUS (across the street) and Papagayo""s (next door at the Inn at Mazatlan) both are excellent! Gus Gus has a live band at 8:00 and staff is friendly. I also recommend doing the city tour with Vista Tours, ask for X as the tour guide. The Stone island tour is good, but snorkeling is not the best. Overall it was a good stay at the CDO.
