We've been going to Mazatlan for several years now, staying in the Golden Zone. Be sure to try Rico's to share coffee and a piece of carrot cake, have a Mexican coffee at Pancho's, buy some fresh shrimp on the beach and cook it in your room with some friends and a bottle of wine, take the tour to the... more

My wife and I would spend almost every night of our two week stay walking the Golden zone, after dinner at one of many nice restaurants from which to choose.
