Beautiful view, large spacious and very clean room. The restaurant staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. It was a beautiful, safe place to stay within walking distance from the beach.

Hotel Riu Emerald Bay - All Inclusive
The room was so musty smelling. 2nd floor absolutely no view. Food at best was tolerable but nothing to brag about. Bathroom needs a renovation. Bathtub very slippery. Almost fell several times.

Courtyard By Marriott Mazatlan Beach Resort
This hotel was an excellent choice! We loved the location, right in the heart of the Golden Zone. The beach out front is easily walkable, with hard packed sand. We found this hotel very quiet, whether in our room or at the poolside. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others.
