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.
