Beautiful Grounds, Incredible Ocean, but Held Back by Noise and Rules

MoniandVal (Alberta) on Nov 18, 2025

?? The Good Property Aesthetics: Old but beautiful architecture, rock work, and lush plants give the grounds a unique and charming character. Buffet Food & Dining: Solid and varied, always found something enjoyable. The oceanfront buffet areas are lovely. Ocean/Beach: The highlight of the trip; absolutely loved playing in the waves. The beach itself is beautiful (when the music is off). Recreational Facilities: Awesome volleyball area and a lot of swimming pools are available. Cenotes: Cenotes are incredible and a major enjoyment point. ?? The Bad & Inconveniences (Major Issues) Noise Level: Extremely loud Banda music on the beach from ~1 pm to 6 pm, making beach relaxation nearly impossible. Game Area Rules: Restrictive rule against children using the pool table (even with an adult, in a non-alcohol area), which was frustrating and a big disappointment. ?? The Bad & Inconveniences (Minor Issues & Observations) Specialty Restaurants: Underwhelming and not memorable; did not add much value over the buffet. Children's Facilities: The kids' club was closed, which was a minor disappointment. English Proficiency: Some staff members struggle with English, occasionally making communication challenging. Entertainment: Main pool entertainment is entirely in Spanish, limiting participation for non-Spanish speakers.

Keep looking for another hotel!

This was my first time at this hotel. There were some con's and some pro's. We got there before 3 pm, but they are very strict about not checking in until 3. They said our room was ready, but had to wait, fine. So we finally check in and get to our room about 3:30 and the maid is just starting to clean! Had to wait outside the room for about 15 minutes for her to finish. The rooms are very outdated and very little space for storage, even though they are quite large. There was only one hook on the show for 3 towels. I assumed there were no blinds in our room, turns out the auto shade was broken. After asking 3 times to get it fixed someone finally came to fix it. We only got the buffet breakfast for 2 adults and not our child, it was the special when I booked. I had no idea that if you don't get all inclusive, you can't get any food from their snack bars. You need to go eat elsewhere. My husband left the day before my son and I. I kept his bracelet for the breakfast since we had paid for it. We were told it can't be used for anyone except him, so had to pay for my sons meal as well. The staff was generally very nice and helpful for the most part. I really liked Mazatlan, but if I return, I will stay at another hotel. It is in a nice location and close to many restaurants and stores.

Do not recommend, you’ll be treated very poorly.

Michellinssi D on Jun 15, 2025

My family and I were treated very poorly, when we where having breakfast one of the cooks was trying to give us food that was very hard and honestly not even edible, so when we had asked her if she could make a fresh one she said no you can have one of the ones that were already there when she was making some fresh for her coworkers. As well as one of the waiters when I was sitting down for breakfast with my parents told me very rudely that I was not allowed to sit there with them. And at check out it was worse than anything we were trying to check out early because we had to catch our flight and they kept trying to make us wait outside for someone to get there to cut our bracelet off, and we kept saying there was no young lady right there and the check out personal his name was Rafael started yelling at my family saying the young lady was there when she still wasn’t, like we were just trying to check out as soon as possible to be able to catch our flight back home. The only good personal that treated us super well were the security guards and the bag handlers (porters).
