If you are looking for an uncomplicated and restful place, this is the best. Stunning views, great staff, great service. Yes, the rooms are a little faded but for the price, you can't beat the ocean front rooms, the beautiful beach and location in the Golden Zone with a variety of shops and restaurants nearby. If you are looking for... more

I just got back from my vacation to Mazatlan and we had the joy of staying at the Playa. When we first came into the room did think it was a little plain but functional and clean. We had a coffee machine (which we never used anyways because we would be down at the beach by 8) no fridge but... more

This was my first trip to Mazatlan and really didn't know what to expect with the hotel. It was perfect!! The whole room was nice and clean, not to mention a nice size. We faced the main pool, which wasn't too bad. The sheets on the bed were a little rough especially when you have a sunburn, but overall I... more

The Playa is a fabulous hotel in heart of the golden zone. It is clean and has all the amenities that you could want. I stayed in the economy room which was nice...I would pay more for an oceanview next time..Nonetheless It met my needs and it is a good place to call home. David the bellboy is fabulous and... more

I love this place! Absolutely beautiful location, right on the beach with a great view, and you can conveniently walk to restaurants, shopping, the American and Canadian consular agencies, and so on. Several pools onsite and they all appear to be extremely well maintained. The breakfast buffet is very good (although, as you might expect, quite a bit more than... more

Just returned from a 10 day trip. Weather was fantastic except for some a.m. haze. Stayed at the Playa Mazatlan. Nice beach, good food, excellent service (esp. Alfredo the waiter(?) on the beach.) The beds suck , Some people we talked to brought air mattresses to sleep on. Many good places to eat. Panchos (1 block north of Playa Mazatlan)... more

I don't know where to start! We stayed at the Playa for 2 weeks, and our extended family members stayed for one week. We arrived on Feb 19 and returned yesterday. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Rooms are large and immaculate. I did miss have a fridge in the room, but we purchased a cheap styrofoam cooler from the C store across... more

Very uncomfortable beds, noisy at night till the band quit playing,they advertise wifi in the rooms, not true, You have to sit in the bar to access wifi, good food, clean rooms, friendly staff, great location but prices are a little high. more

We spent a week here in Feb 2009 and truly enjoyed our stay. Everyone was so very kind and the hotel is immaculate! I especially loved that it has a true mexican feel and is so centrally located. The beach is by far the best of all the hotels in the Golden Zone and is kept extremely clean. This was... more
