I stayed at Costa de Oro in Mazatlan Mexico in January 2008. The reception staff were corteous and the room was clean. The room were I stayed had a connection door to the room next door which made noise more noticeable. The neighboors were kind of busy at times. That is no problem if you travel with family but if you want more privacy (honeymoon, etc.) this is not the right place. I rate the stay as average.

This is a little delayed, but I loved this hotel and wanted to let everyone know! Went in June with my Fiance and three other friends. We had a blast. The pool and beach were both beautiful! The service at the hotel was amazing. Tip well and you'll find yourself to be a favorite of the servers. The drinks are really reasonbly priced and during happy hour its buy one get one! Don't hesitate to order several beers during this time. You can keep them in your hotel room and order ice from the front desk if you feel like one later. By the end of our week long stay all of the staff knew our names and were to nice. If you plan on going to some of the big clubs like Bora Bora, tell the tourist guide at the hotel, he often has coupons for free addmission and that can save you about ten bucks a person. Also, love the location of the hotel, within walking distance of several restaurants and tons of little shops.

TIPS:

Don't miss the Fiesta at the Playa Mazatlan, well worth the $35 for all you can eat and drink. Very entertaining, Good Carne Asada.

If you need to exchange currency go to the American Express store. It's only about a block and half South of the hotel and gives you much better rates than the Hotels.

We spent a very relaxing 1 week all-inclusive vacation at the Costa de Oro Beach Hotel in April 2008.
The hotel was very clean and the staff where very welcoming and did everything they could to ensure we enjoyed our selves. Our rooms were great, they where very spacious and incredibly clean, the cleaning staff went out of their way to provide you with extra towels or soap when requested; we could tell that they really enjoyed looking after us. The restaurant was located right there and the food was good but I did find that I got tired of the same menu for the week. Sunday morning the restaurant offered a breakfast buffet which was wonderful, but I was disappointed when told that Sunday was the only day the buffet was offered. The Lunch/Dinner menu was the same which did not really give you a large variety to choose from but overall the food was good. There were no pool side activities or evening activities for the all-inclusive guests in the hotel which was perfect because we wanted just to tan and soak up the heat. Every evening we walked towards downtown, on the way we looked through stores and smaller markets where we haggled when purchasing souvenirs’. The pool was large and very inviting and the ocean was right there to enjoy as well. Both were very clean and comfortable.
Overall we had a wonderful time and I would definitely go back.

I stayed here Feb 29-Mar 14. I throughly enjoyed it. The room was what I asked for, which was a room on the 1st floor. The room was very clean and well maintained. Everything worked the way it was meant to.

Maid service was great and was willing to do a couple of little things I asked for. I tipped extra for that.

The pool area was wonderfull. the waite staff were quick and prompt. Even though there were Lots of collage spring breakers staying here it was never too loud or out of controll.

The front desk was prompt and effecent. Bell and doorman very helpfull.

I loved they have a supermarket right on the properity.

Food at the resturant or around the pool was hot and tasty

I will be coming back.
