“Perfect!”

El Rancho Villas

4 Mar 2008

For my last trip to Mazatlan my wife and I decide to stay in a different hotel and i must to say that we found this just perfect.

The concept is quite interesting because it's a small resort, by pictures is seams nice but being there was even better.

Beautiful green areas. We took so much advantage of our villa, it was so big and comfortable. Like having our own house right on the beach. The villa in general is very clean, the staff was friendly and helpful and we could enjoyed so much our time with our children. During our stay we took a tour to mexcaltita island, i highly recommend this tour specially when the streets are totally flooded. Magic experience.. my kids loved it!!!

This was our 3rd trip to Mazatlan but this last trip was simply amazing. We hope to come back this summer.

Thanks EL RANCHO.

“The Ronch”

El Rancho Villas

27 Feb 2008

The villa in general is nice, unfortunately inside they are not very clean. The showers were still dirty from the last guests. My sister and I had our bathing suits on the bathroom counter and one of the staff put bleach on the counter, therefore ruining our bathing suits. The kitchen was a nice size but was lacking proper cooking utensils. And some items did not work at all. Friendly staff. Overall experience; poor. Would not go back.

Mazatlan Mex. Villas El Rancho Mickey John Earl Tom and Gary. The resort was dated and small compared to the others in the area,but the grounds were beautiful, the housekeeping was very efficient, it could have had an easier way to get refreshments down to the beach area but the bartender/waiter Jose did a great job in spite of running his tail off going up and downstairs trying to keep up with the beach and the restaurant on the second level. the girls in the office were quite exceptional and went above and beyond the call taking care of our last minute changes and coming up with solutions to our self inflicted problems! a special thanks to Denis, Yessica and Julissa for all you did to make a very memorable vacation

“small and friendly”

El Rancho Villas

10 Dec 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

we just returned from using our new timeshare for the first time and are ecstatic with our purchase.

it was friendly and the gardens were like an oasis in a concret jungle.

the units are very spacious and could be lived in permanently with great air circulation

the beach was great, and we caught the Mexcican buses in to town regualrly for 5 pesos.

3/5 found this review helpful

We just returned from Thanksgiving week at El Rancho. We have been staying here every other year for about 13 years. By we, I mean my wife and our children and grand children. We usually use 5 to 10 condos. Sometimes friends travel with us and the group gets a little larger. As you can see we are a big family. This year we had 44 people at Thanks Giving Dinner. The hotel lets us use the Patio in the project for our group prepared dinner. The hotel provided tables, chairs and table cloths. We enjoy having the employees stop by and pick up a plate of food. This is a small condo project with just 28 units, a pool, a small restaurant overlooking the beach, (Lupita is a great cook). They just added a 2nd hot tub. We like El Rancho because of it's small size, beautiful landscaping, quiet enviornment and the fact that it is adjacent to a beautiful, family friendly beach. There are lots of things to do in Mazatlan but the family prefer to spend most of the time at the Villas, either in the pool or on the beach. Our children even know all the venders on the beach and have become very good bargainers. The Villas are clean two story spanish style with 2 Bedrooms and 2 baths, Kitchen, dining area, and living room. We enjoy the peace and quiet and the time with our family. We will go back next Thanksgiving and hope to see the friends we make each year.
