Located along the beach, this upscale resort offers a mix of Old World charm and modern pleasures. Generic bath products and walk-in shower stalls are standard in the simple rooms, while penthouses upgrade to multiple bathrooms and large soaking tubs.
This sprawling resort has one of the most comprehensive amenities lists in Mazatlan, including a huge freeform pool and three all-inclusive restaurants. Rooms are simple but sharper than their competition, with kitchenettes and flat-screen TVs.
Hotel Pueblo Bonito Mazatlan
This resort has a lot to offer. It is set directly on the beach in Mazatlan’s Golden Zone and has a large number of outdoor pools, spa treatments, and restaurants. The hotel also offers private balconies and terraces in each suite.
The hotel features a total of 247 rooms, all with an ocean view and a kitchenette. Each room has a flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi. A sauna is also available. Guests can enjoy meals at the onsite restaurant and sip cocktails at the swim-up bar.
Guests can relax in one of the two pools, or take part in daily activities and water sports. They can also work up a sweat at the gym or play tennis on-site. Guests can also visit the sister property, Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay Resort & Spa, for access to additional facilities like a larger spa and more restaurants. There is a shuttle service that takes guests between the two properties.
El Cid
Embark on new adventures, thrilling excursions, and delicious meals at this all-inclusive resort that defines gracious beachfront living. The hotel’s huge water complex and dazzling pools straddle a serene, soft-sand beach that is shared with the neighboring El Cid resorts, tempering choppy ocean waters with a natural breakwater formed by three small islands offshore. On-site dining, spa services, championship golf, tennis, and a huge array of dynamic restaurants deliver more amenities than most other Mazatlan upper-middle-range properties, while guest rooms feature a polished style that incorporates modern seating, bold pops of color, and elegant stone and wood.
Enjoy energizing breakfast buffets at El Campeador and delectable dinners at La Alhambra, or sip refreshing drinks and cocktails poolside at the swim-up bar. Guests can also practice their putting skills at the golf course or take part in the onsite tennis program that offers private lessons, clinics, drop-in drills and partner matches. Getting around the area is simple with shuttle and car rental services, and a children’s club keeps the youngest family members well-tended.
