Exceeded My Expectations

I am giving my honest opinion of Playa Mazatlan Resort. I am an unbelievable very fussy person and cant eat many things even at my own home, never mind a resort. My last vacation I spent every day of the week eating spaghetti 3 times a day, every day for 7 days. I am that picky. I have to say this is without a doubt Playa Mazatlan is the best place I have ever been. The location, beach, service , room were all fantastic. Above all, the food was utterly FANTASTIC. I never ate so well in my life. Captain Jack has the most awesome Kabobs, chicken, beef or shrimp with all the fixings. They went out of their way to add pineapples to my chicken skewer. Desserts were great. Brazilian was a chefs masterpiece. Carved Beef, BBQ pork tenderloin and marinated chicken breast your choice. The buffets were just incredible. Everything was fresh, hot and plentiful. Tons of fresh fruit and salads. The deserts were like you would get in a high end bakery. Believe me, they really put on a great meal choice. Honestly I even went back for seconds and sometimes a 3rd little portion. I did actually eat spaghetti once as a side to my meal. I do not eat fish or seafood but there was plenty there that looked delicious. My room was second floor facing the beach and ocean. The music was beach mexican musicians and it was really nice. It was not loud like others have said. I slept quite well at night. One thing I like the best is the street markets. They are not pushy at all. You do not feel hen pecked the minute you walk by one. Beach sellers are the same. They respectively take no as an answer. All in all, it was the best vacation I have ever had. I thank you playa mazatlan and I hope , health willing , I can return again.
Come here for the location and beach..... Not the food!!

Best location along the strip. Walking distance to numerous restaurants, stores, the malecon. Beautiful beach you can walk for miles. The food is fantastic if you go to the Italian or Mexican restaurant. The sushi beach snack bar is also fantastic! However, the buffet is absolutely disgusting. I have traveled throughout Mexico and Cuba and this resort had the worst food I have ever encountered. I would be emberrased serving this food in a 4 star resort. Resort could also be cleaner. Pool decks were dirty and I saw floating bandaids in the pool.
