We have been visiting Mazatlan for the past 25 years amd we have visited all the major hotels in the area and without a doubt the Playa is the only one we could ever stay at. The entire staff is helpful, friendly and they go out of their way to take care of your needs. They may be an older hotel but they have by far the largest beach front and they are constantly doing upgrades on the hotel. Go, stay at the Playa, you will not be sorry....

OUR 8 DAYS IN HEAVEN

At first I was doubtful about the hotel we stayed in, due to it being one of the oldest hotels by the Golden Zone in Mazatlan, Mexico, I thought It was not going to provide us with the adecuate essential services. But I was totally wrong, thanks to the reviews I previously read regarding the Hotels with ocean front view, 90% of the customers were repeated clients of Hotel Playa Mazatlan. I took that into consideration and was not disappointed, neither my family. We stayed in this wonderful hotel for 8 days. The Ocean front view with 2 Islands right in front was an amazing sight to see specially when waking up in the morning. The Hotel Playa Mazatlan sure needs a little updating on furniture but what the heck, most of the time you are either taking a PULMONIA(open aired taxi) to go either sightseeing, or walking downtown old Mazatlan. One cool thing about the Pulmonia is that if you get one, paid them to take you on a tour of Mazatlan, they even allow you to take beer with you while sight seeing. It will cost you around 200 pesos (approx. 18 U.S dlls.) for the tour. Also dont be afraid to try restaurants away from all the hustle and bustle of the Zona Dorada. If you liked sea food you have to go to "La Puntilla". Delicious fresh sea food. Its located on the southern part of Mazatlan close to the shipyards. Just asked the PULMONIA driver to take you there. Also I would recomend going to "BIGOTES" If you like pork, man o man, you got to try this restaurant out, is DELICIOUS. When I travel, I always try to stay away from all the local restaurants around the beach area, they are over priced.

My wife and I enjoyed 6 beautiful days at the Playa. The ocean view from our 4th floor room was fantastic, we slept with the door open at night. The staff were very courteous, friendly and very helpful. The food was delicious, we ate breakfast every morning at the pool. Our waiter was very nice and took care of our every need, he even knew where Puyallup, Washington was. Arranging our tours, the Canopy Tour, City Tour and Sunset Cruise was fast and easy at the concierge desk. Beachside service was fast and friendly for lunch, snacks and drinks. The only thing we were disappointed in was the Mexican Fiesta was cancelled because of not enough tickets sold. The tourism was down while we were there because of the flu scare. I'd recommend the Playa to anyone visiting Mazatlan, we plan on staying there every year.

First time we stayed at the Playa Mazatlan was in 1997, and have stayed there 6 times. For overall convenience & price you can't beat it. We've never had any issues while we stayed there, compared to one of the so other high rise hotels. Not that is was that bad, but for myself and my wife we like the more intimate and private feeling of the Playa. We love breakfast on the patio overlooking the ocean & their much more private (compared to some other hotels in the Golden Zone).
