We stayed @ Las Flores Feb-Mar 2008. We had not been to Mazatlan before( just Puerto Vallarta and Mayan Riviera) We went with another couple we have travelled with before who have been to Mazatlan many times and had last stayed @ Las Flores in 1997.
They were quite excited to hear the hotel had undergone renovations as they liked the location but found the hotel dated even then.The lobby, bar and pool areas were updated, sadly the rooms were not. The rooms were gloomy and very worn looking.The poor dingy tile work and dark ceilings remain, the green tile all over the bathroom is even more dingy and ugly. While we didn't expect a lot we would have enjoyed a few little luxuries like dish soap, a dish cloth or ( I know I am asking a lot) a microwave or hairdryer. The beds were the hardest we have ever encountered in Mexico, the pillows the lumpiest. As we booked through Signature vacations we were only allowed certain rooms in the south tower. The desk staff did their best to accomodate when we were unhappy that the first room we were given had a view that was mostly the side of the front tower and after a few different rooms( one was under the laundry and was very noisy) we settled on a room on the 11th floor with a fabulous view. The drawback to being on the 11th floor is that sound travels upwards very efficiently. There are a couple of bars a few blocks away which like to play music with the maximum base booming till 4AM. If you are looking to get to sleep before that time, this is not the hotel for you. We didn't try the restaurant, the bar had good drinks but was somewhat pricey compared to what you would pay a block away for the same thing. All in all, the restaurants in the area were great and the sunsets were amazing. The location in the Golden zone was great but we wouldn't recommend this hotel as there are many more nicer hotels in the approximate price range in the area.
