We recently enjoyed and delightful 6 day stay with Captain Moe, Dorothy and Zoe, their Jack Russell. They are located on a quiet residential street in the Golden Zone very convenient to restaurants, activities, and bus lines.

All the spotlessly clean rooms open into a quiet garden courtyard and have very comfortable beds (not common in Mexico). A large roof deck with tables, chairs, and huge swing offer a quiet place to relax or talk with other guests while enjoying a drink. The views of the ocean at sunset are stunning. There are free phone calls to North America and internet access.

Captain Moe's seems to be the home base for many local ex-pats, and winter residents who stop by for a cup of coffee and chat in the morning which we really enjoyed.

Fresh fruit, coffee and munchies are always available. Breakfast with hummingbirds and orioles at a large table in the garden courtyard was delicious and included juice, bagels, cream cheese, yogurt and cereal. Self-prepared omelets and ham were also there if you wanted.

There is a large cooler stocked with soft drinks and beer to enjoy on the honor system. The courtyard garden is perfect for a brew in the evening after a hard day shopping or at the beach. Moe buys your first beer on arrival !!

With our hosts, and anther couple staying there B&B, we all jumped in Moe's van and went downtown to the shrimp lady where we bought 2 kilos of fresh shrimp and took it to a small restaurant were they prepared it to order and served us. We never would have found this on our own.

If you want to enjoy Mazitlan without the glitter and time share salesmen at the big hotels - and yes, in many restaurants, this is the place to be. Moe and Dorothy recommended places where the sea food is outstanding and reasonable, and atmosphere is authentic. This was our home away from home.

Moe and Dorothy offer the best things in life - good conversation, great food, comfortable and spacious accommodations. We felt more like family than guests. Phil and Carol

This is a great place to land in Mazatlan, located in the 'gold zone' near beaches and big hotels but peaceful and neighborly locale. Easy bus access to oldtown (historic district) and in quiet neighborhood off the 'main drag' of the tourist district. Moe and Dorothy are lovely hosts, full of advice and connections. The inn offers many spots to hang out, including the lovely tropical courtyyard and a rooftop deck for lovely sunsets. Generous breakfast offering with muffins, breads, cheese, fruit, eggs- and an outdoor communal kitchen to cook, if the mood strikes you! Free wi-fi access and a fridge in your room (though Moe keeps a cooler of beers and sodas for reasonable purchase). Highly recommended, with good value.

I am now a regular and go back as many times as I can. This is my fourth stay.
The location is so convenient, the rooms are so pleasant.
But the best part is the people.... Hosts Moe and Dorothy Faith are so helpful in getting me into the pulse of Mazatlan, letting me know what is new and where to go to eat, shop, or just to see what is happening.
The location was especially good this time as the fireworks on the beach would have kept me awake all night.... but where the B&B is lets you have a wonderful meal at Pancho's then walk for about five minutes, sit on the roof, and see all the fireworks from afar......
Definitely a keeper....

My girlfriend and I do a lot of traveling and usually at the last minute. After checking the weather around the world, we chose Mazatlan as our destination. After figuring that out, we went to tripadvisor to find a place to stay.

Everything that is written about Capt. Mo and Dorothy is absolutely true! The rooms were roomy and comfortable, the breakfasts were fresh and plentiful and Mo & Dorothy are the perfect hosts. Every morning we met at the outdoor breakfast table for a relaxing chat and planning for the day. (And , of course, their sweet dog Zoe joined us.) They helped us plan some incredible events; including restaurants, beaches and activities.

Keep in mind, although the location is not beach front, you can wonder down about two blocks to some very nice (and overly expensive) timeshare hotels and use their beachfronts and pools for the price of a beverage. Then, at night, you can go back to the quiet and serenity of Capt. Mo's.

In all honesty, there was one drawback of staying at this wonderful B&B - HAVING TO LEAVE! It was like leaving new found family!

On our next journey to Mazatlan, at least our choice of accomodations will be a "no-brainer".

We spent 3 nights at Captain Moe's on our way from Danville, CA to San Miguel de Allende, where we are wintering. We travel in our 1987 VW Westfalia van with our pug and were happy to find lodging that would accept Sydney Sue as part of our package. Sydney Sue and Zoe, la perrita de la casa, had a brief misunderstanding over a snack, but got past that in a hurry and peacefully coexisted for the rest of our stay. Moe and Dorothy are kind, considerate, generous, knowledgable and very laid back. Our room (#2) was spacious, clean and very comfy. We had no concerns about our van on the street in front of Moe's and the neighborhood is muy mexicana, and very convenient to restaurants and services. Breakfast was all we could eat, with fresh fruit, cereal, eggs and toast), (if you want them), yogurt, juice and great coffee. All said, I would give Moe and Dorothy 5 stars and heart-felt thanks for a terrific stay.
