4.12244 reviewsWe went for our honeymoon & location is lovely. I got a room with ocean view completely gorgeous view on the 15th floor deeply in love, but the room was quite questionable… Me and my husband did not fit on the bed and we reserved for the biggest bed in the hotel. Me and him are not oversized people. He’s just a bit tall. But we had no space to sleep in one bed there was NO FRIDGE So if we were to get a water or drinks from the store, come back to the room they would get hot quickly :( Front desk service was amazing and also for all the staff employees .. Speaking back to the room, the furnitu…
Rooms are very old, not in good condition, we were planning on staying from Wednesday through Saturday, and after I saw the rooms, we moved to a better hotel, but as far as the refund for the days I didn't stay, we have to wait they said for 30 days, and we'll see if we get it. Not good choice!!!
The room wasn't anything like the pictures. The mattress had a huge "sink hole" in the middle and was uncomfortable. The room was generally run down and needed a paint job, new furtniture and a cleaning. There were stains on the chair and sheets. Housekeeping came and left us with no towls. When I called the front desk, nothing happened so I went down and had to wait 30 minutes until they were done drying (guess they don't have enough towels?) The elevator was sketchy and made a weird sound, and was very slow. The Breakfast was 2 star at best. The pools were nasty and no bar/way to order food…
Planning your trip to Mazatlan
When to go
High season runs November to April: dry, 25-28°C, long sunsets and northern visitors wintering here. The absolute peak is Carnaval — February or March depending on the year, among Mexico's biggest — when the malecón fills, hotels sell out and rates jump: book months ahead or steer around it.
From July to October humid heat rules: thirty-something degrees with mugginess, afternoon rains and the year's lowest prices — August to October is the floor. Holy Week is the other peak, with massive domestic tourism.
The sweet spot: November and early December, weather already dry and winter rates not yet in force.
A sea nuance: the Pacific here has a swell season — from May to October yellow and red flags are common on the open beaches — and the country's most photographed sunsets all year round. Adjust swimming expectations by month and keep Isla de la Piedra as the calm plan.
Getting there and around
The airport lies southeast, 30-40 minutes from the Zona Dorada: authorised transport about MX$400-600 per vehicle at 2025 prices, shared vans cheaper. Overland, the Durango highway and the La Paz ferry make Mazatlán a useful junction; buses reach Guadalajara in 6-7 hours.
The iconic ride is the pulmonía — the open-air local taxi: agree the fare before boarding, about MX$100-200 for city hops in 2025. The green buses run the shoreline for pocket change.
The malecón links almost everything on foot or by bike: 8 kilometres from the Centro to the Zona Dorada. For Isla de la Piedra, a boat from the embarcadero; for El Quelite and the sierra villages, a car or day tour.
Where to stay, zone by zone
The Zona Dorada is the classic beach strip: seafront hotels and resorts with decades of practice, a family crowd and mid prices — our 2026 scan put the city's typical rate at US$74, among the Pacific's most affordable. It works for a sand-and-pool holiday with zero logistics.
The Centro Histórico and Olas Altas are the Mazatlán with soul: restored plazas, the Ángela Peralta theatre, cafés and boutique hotels in 19th-century buildings facing the city beach. This is the zone for travellers who come for the city as well as the sea — and the one that has climbed most in a decade.
Cerritos and the new zone, north, line up condo towers and recent resorts: more open beach, more wind, more isolation — a car all but required. Our scan's US$29 entry price lives in the simple hotels of the Centro and its surroundings.
By profile: classic family holiday, the Zona Dorada; couple with cultural leanings, the Centro and Olas Altas; a months-long winter stay, the kitchenette hotels of the Dorada and Cerritos; budget, the streets behind the Pino Suárez market. Surf has its corner: the northern points toward Cerritos, with schools and board rentals — not Sayulita, but it delivers.
A pin-check note: 'Mazatlán' listings run 20-plus kilometres up the coast to Cerritos and beyond — fine for isolation with a car, a daily taxi bill without one. Measure the distance to the malecón before booking cheap and far.
Eating and going out
Mazatlán is seafood with a Sinaloa accent: aguachile as local religion, ceviches, wood-fired zarandeado and shrimp in every form. The midday marisquerías — Centro to Dorada — serve plates for about MX$120-250 in 2025; seafood carts and market kitchens come in under MX$100.
The usual rule with the usual caveat: raw dishes at midday, turnover in sight. Coffee on Plazuela Machado with sweet bread from the Centro bakeries is breakfast with a stage.
At night, two registers: Plazuela Machado — open-air tables, soft music, the theatre next door — and the Zona Dorada with its beach bars and veteran discos. At Carnaval everything above multiplies by ten and the malecón is the party itself.
A timing tip: the Mazatlán marisquería is a midday institution — the best rooms open at eleven and are stacking chairs by five. Dine inland or on the Machado, and save the aguachile for lunch, which is when the city does it seriously.
Booking well
An affordable, stable market: 68 hotels with real prices in our 2026 scans, from US$29 with a typical rate of US$74. Outside Carnaval and Holy Week, one or two weeks' notice suffices; for Carnaval, months — and check your hotel is not on the parade route unless that is exactly what you want.
Winter brings the long-stay northern crowd: the Dorada's kitchenette hotels fill with multi-week bookings, so move early for January-February.
Local checks: flags and surf if you plan to swim — the Pacific here has currents, and Isla de la Piedra is the calm alternative — and the room's floor in the Dorada, where the sea view is charged for. Prices on this page are 2026 observations, per night; the live rate is in the widget.
Two calendar notes: Motorcycle Week in April fills the malecón with engines and the shoreline hotels with riders — book it or dodge it according to your noise tolerance. And the La Paz ferry makes Mazatlán the gate to Baja California Sur: if your trip continues that way, hotels near the port save you the dawn of embarkation day.
