They had people trying to convince you to get a pkg

Beds were comfortable. Location was good for our purposes, but it is at the north end of Mazatlan, so a bit of a walk or taxi ride to the main center. Enjoyed the location right in front of the beach, the swimming in the ocean is discouraged due to the undertow, but sunsets are fantastic. You can walk the beach to the north for quite awhile. There are a couple of small stores on the strip in that direction. Also, there is a great little cafe to the north called El Seis Coffee House, go there, they have nice coffee and great sandwiches with gourmet breads and toppings. From the hotel you need to walk south and catch a little water taxi across the marina (or take a taxi around the marina) to get to Zona Dorada or any other part of town. It is a nice adventure. There are little open taxis that cost 100 pesos for 4 people to get you to the centre of the touristy area. If you have more than 4 people you can catch a little truck with seats in the back for the same price.

We were in 2 different suites during our stay. Both had different issues with cleanliness and maintenance. The first suite did not offer much in the way of kitchen items, only 1 bowl, a dirty cutting board. The hot water handle was broken, not that we used it much as there is not "hot" water in any of the suites. The hot becomes lukewarm if you let it run long enough. The second suite that we upgraded to was a nicer unit and better location but the door gave us issues every time we tried to enter with our key, also kitchen cupboard doors were falling off. Wi-fi was good in all of the buildings. There is a little store just a couple of doors down so that was convenient. The pictures included are of the kitchen of the first suite we were in and the view from the deck, as well as a view of the building from the pool. The property in general was fine, but noticed the pool tiles all coming off, what we think was the hot tub, again was lukewarm. We never saw anyone else using the pool or hot tub. There were not many guests staying while we were there, which was nice for us I guess! The staff, rooms, and breakfast were all pleasant but not exceptional. Other reviews speak of a time share sales office hounding them to come for a free breakfast, and they will grill you to purchase a time share. These guys will act like they are part of the hotel but they are from the company that manages the timeshares. They will follow you inside and ask about where you're from, say they remember you from blah blah place, try and get a conversation going. They have a sales office attached to the hotel entry, they hang out outside at a table and catch you as you come and go. They did not bother us too much, we made it very clear we were not interested in anything they had to say to us. If you don't want to buy a timeshare, do not engage them! Do not accept breakfast, don't step foot in their offices or you will never get out. Just say no thanks and keep walking!
