Our balcony broke off..... need i say more... Would have stayed elsewhere if we knew it was a --- box. ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE... THE STAFF WERE WONDERFUL TO US.

This hotel was more than terrible and is nothing like their webpage. We had sewer gases coming up the drains, the pools were green - one had a mouse in it. There were open sewer holes outside. Need I say more?

We stayed at the Los Palmas for 2 weeks, and it was not a trip I would care to repeat. Yes it was cheap, but you still expect some standard of hygiene. Our first room was dirty, the toilet overflowed, and the door lock was broken. We were moved to another room, (where the toilet only leaked) after alot of discussion with management. The noise at night was so bad we sat up til three waiting for things to calm down. There were numerous drunks outside our door, yelling and throwing beer cans. We complained but nothing was done. Only one pool was open and needed maintenance. You have to cross a very busy street to go to the beach.
The food was OK, but not worth the money. The resaurant/bar staff were great, but closed early. We have been to Pto. Vallarta twice, and Manzanillo. This was our first trip to Mazatlan, and probably our last.

For what it was, it was great. We paid $17 per night back in '94 - and did not spend any time there anyhow! All the hotels in the area allow you on their beaches, so we took great advantage of that.
