8.6/10 Excellent! (23 reviews)

The staff was wonderful. Everyone was friendly. The hotel is kept meticulously clean. Constantly mopping/cleaning by staff. The room was comfortable and clean. The hotel has beautiful grounds - flowers and trees. The food at the a la carte restaurants was very good. The buffet was ok. It could use an upgrade. The weather was perfect and the beach nice, but we will never return to Mazatlan again. At least not to this hotel area. The CONSTANT banging coming from bands from 12:00 - 8:00 every day ruined our vacation. When I say bands I'm talking about I counted at least 50 people playing instruments and singing, all at the same time, on our short beach with microphones and boom boxes so the whole resort could hear. There was no peace. You couldn't sit and hear the ocean. No enjoyment. Then after the bands were done, Joe's Oyster would play music until 4:00 a.m.! Just sad to have everything in one hotel and be ruined by non-stop, LOUD music. If the bands didn't have microphones and boom boxes blaring, and played just for the people in front of them and not the whole resort until 8:00 at night, it would make things so much better.
