We have been drawn to El Rancho for over 15 years. Over the
years we have experienced other locations in Mexico and the
world but this is like coming home. The staff here treats you
like family. You can stay in a villa in the garden and walk out
to the sound of birds and beautiful foliage; walk out to the pool
and hot tub that is always pristine; then walk out to the ocean and
sit on the grass and watch the waves take your thoughts away.
All this on one level.

The Fonda restaurant with Lupita as the main cook and the bar
with Jose as the main margarita maker never fails to satisfy your
tastes and thirst. Our family with two young children never got
bored with the pool and endless pina colodas sans alcohol.

The villas capture the Mexican culture and provide
a fully workable kitchen. Clean and comfortable for just two or
a family of six. Yes, this is our paradise and we feel blessed
to wake up in this environment.

watt el paso

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 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.
