Interesting history. There is a nice little church. Kids can ride a pony. There is a $6 tour you can take of the old house. The kitchen and rooms are moderately interesting. Lots of nice nuts and candy based on nuts. The road in /out is not fully/recently paved near the end.

A unique little church tucked away in the middle of this Rancho. Very appealing to the eye as it's beauty lies within the parishioners. As I tour through different places in Mexico the first place I go is to the church. It defines the city or town and this church says the town is poor but it people are rich in spirit and quality of life. Religion is big here and that's what makes this town so beautiful. They may not have much but what they have they are willing to share. This is a place that will greet you with open arms.

Matias Vago — Google review
This is an amazing trip! It is well worth the drive and the cost for hiring a guide and boat. I live in Chapala, and my family came to visit for Christmas. We drove to Mezcala (about 45 minutes) and just hired the first guy that came up to us. He was young, but was born and raised in Mezcala, so knew the history of the island very well - and spoke quite good English. There were 6 of us total, and the cost for him and the boat was $1200 pesos. We tipped him extra, because he was so helpful and made sure my mom (who has had knee surgery and doesn't do well with hills or uneven ground) went slow and rested. He took us pretty much everywhere, explained all the important things, and answered all the questions we had. Note: there is a steep hill from the dock to where the ruins are, and the ground is uneven most of the way through. I highly recommend hiking boots.
This was a lot of fun, very interesting, and is a reasonably short trip - we were only there for about 90 minutes, and the boat ride is about 15 min each way. I'm sure we had wanted to explore more, our guide would have been happy to accommodate us. If you like history, make sure you add this trip to your list!

Un sitio histórico que pocas veces es visitado, tiene una de las hazañas más interesantes de la historia de México sobre todo en lo relacionado con la independencia ya que fue hasta el año 1816 que resistieron y no fueron vencidos por los el ejército realista.
Es por eso que la isla es mudo testigo de aquella hazaña de los habitantes de Mezcala que defendieron la libertad y la independencia de manera ejemplar.
(Translated by Google)
A historical site that is rarely visited, it has one of the most interesting feats in the history of Mexico, especially in relation to independence since it was not until 1816 that they resisted and were not defeated by the royalist army.
That is why the island is a silent witness to that feat of the inhabitants of Mezcala who defended freedom and independence in an exemplary manner.

The malecon is a great place to hang out, get some drinks or snacks, and take in some of the scenery and culture of Chapala. You need to go a number of blocks off the malecon to find authentic food -- most of the restaurants there cater to gringos. But the food there is very good.

Stretching for about a third of a mile on Lake Chapala's western end, Malecón de Jocotepec is home to a great many vendors of food, souveniers, and knick knacks.

The Zoologico Guadalajara is one of the best zoos in Latin America and is home to a wide variety of animals from all over the globe. The gardens are well-maintained and provide plenty of shade, while additional attractions like the Sky Zoo offer a birds' eye view of the animal habitats, as well as a safari experience with close encounters with giraffes, elephants, rhinos, hippos and ostriches.
There are a variety of tickets available which allow you access to different areas. All are very reasonably priced. I got the basic zoo package and really enjoyed the day. The monkey land feature was fantastic and the monkeys were free to run around and up to you. The day does involve a lot of walking and hills which may not be ideal in the heat with children, but you can pay a small amount more for the train or chairlift to avoid that. The only negative I found was how busy some of the areas such as the reptile house were, which meant you were shuffled through quite quickly but we were there on a nday which is the busiest day. Overall, would definitely recommend and if I were to return would buy the ticket add ons for more areas.
Yugal S — Google review
I recommend the Diamond package.
There’s a lot of walking.
Safari ride is rough road *No seat belt*
The train is a one time use with the bracelet.
The skyline has great views. It’s difficult getting on and off.
The aquarium is small. Best part is feeding the manatees. The penguin building smelled horrible. However it was cute seeing the penguins.
As for food
You can bring your own food.
I had popcorn <~Terrible, burnt
Cheeseburger <~ I didn’t like the taste
Nachos <~ great
Quesadilla <~ okay
The facilities are outdated but it’s not a big deal.
Overall it’s a great place to visit.

Sofia R — Google review
A once in a lifetime experience. We loved everything about it. The prices are shown in the picture. We bought the “diamante” because it has the sky zoo + aquarium. Once entering you are greeted by the flamingos. On your right there is a food stand. And walk more on your left is the entrance to the train. The train takes you around the whole park. A little ahead is the entrance for the sky zoo. That did not have a line, unlike the train did. I went on the sky zoo first then ate some food and then went on the train. After that we walked around the zoo and towards the end we went on the safari truck that takes you around specific animals that are closed off. My favorite is the sky zoo because it’s unique and you see everything. The train is alright and is quick. I went on a Friday afternoon, to see the whole thing lasted us 5 hours. The gift shops were not so good and pricey. You could go inside the zoo with a bottled water and snacks. The food inside is also expensive but decent. I bought the tickets on the spot in the booth. The wait wasn’t much. Buy the wristbands and place it on and go in.
Melissa — Google review
Well maintained ZOO, there are 3 packages 100, 260, 330 peso. 100 peso for Normal walk through visiting animals. For marine, safari, sky zoo have to buy 260 or 330 peso package. I could suggest get 330 peso package and go morning time 10 am so you can complete all these areas. Foods are available inside zoo. Penguin, Marine, Sky zoo, White Lion, kangaroo are highlights in this zoo. Close to ZOO children's park also there... kindly plan accordingly full day visit for kids with family..

Nice place to spend time with friends and family. The zoo is so big that I will suggest you to wear comfortable shoes sneakers preferably. They have a lot of activities to do in the zoo. The price of the ticket is reasonable not at all expensive. It includes cable train tour, train ride and many more stuff with in the zoo. You’ll find small cafe to grab something real quick to eat.

Came to Guadalajara with my granddaughter who wanted to visit the Zoologico Guadalajara, and we were pleasantly surprised to see how much there was to see. So much greenery...everything was lush, overgrown, trees that have been here for decades. The exhibits were very well designed, for example the monkey areas: cables which supported the netting, as well as the enclosure which allows the animals to go from area to area, a great job. Our favorite was the ride thru the Masai. Wow. You see the many different animals in their natural environments, living in harmony with other animals. You're able to witness the water buffalo, the ostriches, antelopes, alligators of the Nile river. Along with the Elephants, the Rhinos, the Hippos and so much more. There is so much to see and experience within these walls. Come and spend some time, you will be coming back again. 😎👍👍

At the Guadalajara zoo there are different price points and we opted for the premier which is a short train ride,nice enough and quick. My mom has a disability scooter and I asked the attendant if he's sure they will take care of it because she needs it for long distances and was assured it won't leave the platform if we didn't hand in the number given to us. When the train completed the trip we took it and no one batted an eye or even asked if it was ours so clearly if anyone leaves something with them just know there's a possibility it can be taken. She drove off with it and nobody stopped us, I went around and gave the attendant both numbers and he didn't even ask a question. Do not leave your stuff there because again there is no assurance it will be taken care of. The zoo is ok, it's off the bucket list for a family member that has kids. I was not interested especially with my mom, I really think it needs better operations when it comes to getting off the train and more disability pathways.
Syra Ozaeta — Google review
We had a very short visit so we bought the basic package. We bought the train a sky tram tickets separately. Not sure if it would make sense to buy the diamond package but that price jump is crazy. Either way the zoo is HUGE. Definitely need a whole day to walk through it all. We got to feed the baby deers. So cute! There were plenty of bathrooms and trash cans around. Very clean. Definitely would come back.

What a fun zoo! I was shocked how good it was coming from places like the National Zoo in DC, the San Diego zoo, and point defiance in the PNW. It's not nearly as big as those but it's really well laid out and the sky lift that goes from one end to the other gives you amazing views across the entire zoo.

Great time at the Zoo in Guadalajara. It was about $120 pesos for adults for admission. You can buy additional "attractions" once you're inside vs. buying the pass that includes everything before you enter. Fun for kids and family!

Really nice zoo. Definitely worth spending part of the day here. I would recommend at least 4 hours to not be rushing.

We visit zoos all over the US. and I must say this zoo in Guadalajara is one of the ones that I enjoyed the most. A lot of wide open space for the animals, and they had plenty of opportunities to interact with the animals. Would like to return, highly recommended. Went went on a Wednesday in February, and it wasn't crowded at all.

C. P.º del Zoológico 600, Huentitán El Alto, 44390 Guadalajara, Jal., Mexico
Located in the heart of Guadalajara, this cultural center focuses on art and culture. It features over 100 different rooms and 20 patios, as well as murals by renowned Mexican artist Jose Clemente Orozco. There is also a rich collection of other pieces by Mexican artists on display. Regular art exhibitions are held here, and there are also attractions suitable for children.
We spent our day here on a casual friday. There was a short line before entering the museum, there is a price difference for locals and tourists. You can't drink or eat during the walk and you must leave all the bags at the start.
For the tourist there are 2 tours a day.
You can walk yourself through the museum.
The museum is very big and is inside an old hospice. They gave the medicines to the people which came from the garden.
Without an guide it is very hard to walk it on the correct way, so we went all over and skipped a couple of rooms.
The most famous part was very beautiful! You can see the pictures yourself (:
If you ask me if this is a must see in Guadalajara I would say no, but still a nice museum if you don't have plans for the day.

A striking building, but unfortunately the expos were underdeveloped with too little historical background and context.
The building is huge and wonderfully beautiful as its own history piece.
I was disappointed in the staff. They were uninterested in helping patrons or making them feel at home in this public cultural space. Due to poor signage, lack of staffing, and the curmudgeon and unhelpful attitude of the present staff, we were more often lost than found.
Only after we returned home did we discover we missed (never found) one half of the museum. I'm embarrassed to admit... We somehow missed half of the museum?
It's disheartening a public space's value was reduced by resident employees. I expected more pride in one's city, state, and country.
For $4 US it was worth seeing one half of the museum.

Came here for my last day in Guadalajara and thoroughly enjoyed it,it was on my bucket list to go see one of the greats of Mexican muralist artwork and boy was I happy to stand in its glory. Absolutely beautiful murals by Jose Clemente Orozco 🎨🎭🖌️🔥 and it's a must!!

We traveled with 5 people. We paid at the taquilla per adult and one kid. My purse and backpack were not allowed, too big for their standard. They do have free tags for storage with museum staff,or private lockers for some pesos. We stored our stuff safely with staff and it was an easy pickup. We visited around noon on a Thursday and it was not busy. We took a stroller and the walkways were pretty accessible. We took plenty of pictures and enjoyed our time there. I really liked the QRC code for a history in English and Spanish. So bring your headphones/ airpods. There is a cafe that sells snacks and water because our backpack lunch wasn't allowed. The bathrooms were clean and accessible. I didn't see any baby changing tables, so that was a bummer. We would return again.

I stopped by after learning this was a former orphanage. A tour guide mentioned that kids who didn’t know their parents were given the last name of the orphanage founder. The compound now consists of mostly newer art. Probably would have been more enjoyable with a tour guide, but it’s possible to stroll around on your own and leverage the QR codes. Free admission Tuesdays.

Worth a visit in Guadalajara! Architecturally stunning building with renowned murals in the interior make for an awe inspiring experience. There is written narrative on the murals in both English and Spanish, and more throughout the building by QR code. Only 4 stars because I thought, a a while, building’s space could be more thoughtfully used with additional exhibitions.

Went and saw two large art exhibits and the central cathedral. Everything was very well laid out and was wheelchair accessible with very minimal challenges (it is a pretty linear path).
I'd suggest spending some time in the cathedral to absorb the murals. lay on one of the benches and just look up.

Really took me by surprise! First museum I visited in GDL. Entry fee was 85 MXN (55 if you have national ID) the oil paintings were all very unique and unlike anything I've ever seen before. A must visit if you are in town, only a 10 minute walk from the city center

Very nice theatre, the home of the Jalisco Symphonic Orchestra, it reminded me a bit of the theatre a la Scala in Milan.
Entry is free if there are no events between the opening times for visitors (13:00 to 15:00), the orchestra and other performances happen frequently so it is worth checking the programme.

Top-end theater venue, great acoustics.
Went to the 2023 Mariachi gala and was not disappointed. Teatro Degollado is a superb concert hall, with a seating capacity of around 1,600.
Pro-Tip: Bar prices are predictably on the high side and the bar itself is not really large enough to cater for a full house, during the short intermissions.
Pocket/purse searches happen at the door, so if you're trying to bring something in, you need to be creative.

The impressive cathedral in the heart of Guadalajara is a centuries-old building made up of a mix of architectural styles. The towers are iconic and locals are proud of its architecture, which dates back to 1854.
So beautiful to just sit on the benches and watch the sun go down behind the cathedral. Guadalajara is beautiful! The streets are so busy, and there are merchants everywhere. The architecture is stunning. Not many cafes in the center through. I probably wouldn’t stay all day in the center around the cathedral, a few hours max. Thanks for hosting someone from the USA 🇺🇸❤️

A beautiful cathedral surrounded by walking areas (plazas). There is a big fountain in front of it. Inside the light creates beautiful effects. Take the time to walk all around and inside.

The Templo Expiatorio del Santísimo Sacramento is a beautiful, historic church located in the heart of Guadalajara. It is well worth a visit for its dramatic Gothic-style architecture and impressive stained glass windows. The temple is open daily from 07:00 to 21:00 and visitors are charged for admission.
Gothic architecture, activities around it, dancing people, artists. Let the music pierce your heart. Of course, we should not forget to travel by electric carriage. This is one of the regions that reflect the real culture of Mexico. Everything was very positive. I strongly recommend you to see the inside of the building.

Do yourself a favor and assure you come here.
If you can talk your way into the catacombs downstairs too, it will make an experience you won't soon forget. If you can't, I've added lots of photos.
There is a small show outside when the hours turn. Make time to peruse the surrounding areas.
It is good manners to assure you leave a donation before you depart.

You can’t really beat this Neo-Gothic marvel anywhere in the Americas that I’ve seen. Impeccably built about 100 years ago to match the great gothic cathedrals of Europe. For a second, you could be in medieval England or France. Free time enter, take off your hat and respect worshippers.
Tobias Madigan — Google review
I love The Expiatorio it's rich with history about it's struggle to be built, several times it changed architectures for reasons of destiny. The clock is German made; curiously on the hour the clock chimes 25 songs and at the same time little door's open and figurines of the Apostles comes out and makes a half circle and then go back in the other door.
Built in the Gothic style the columns inside are so beautiful and there are many of them. The stained glass windows and towers are awesome, and the craftsmanship is fantastic. I highly recommend that you explore this church.
There's under ground parking.

Awesome park with family/or amigos. Pretty big spacious park with themes, pretty awesome water slides and low pool with waves.
Across are some picnic tables under shade, so if you go bring food, even meat to grill. Just take into account these are natural warm springs areas so the water is slightly warm, not so refreshing but still feels good to cool off a bit. The water slides bit rough but that’s common water slides. Various sizes, and steepness. There’s a store for basic food items and dressing rooms in case you didn’t wear bathing suit upon arrival with showers for afterwards. Just make sure you don’t wait till last minute cause of the long lines!!
Overall, satisfied with my experience since there’s ramps and pretty easy to move around with my minor mobility issues. I think most expensive out of water parks here, but with most diverse attractions and space. They close at 6 and turn off water almost immediately.
It was nice to return after my childhood memories

Besides the mindblowingly beautiful historical findings I simply adored the dedication and the huge knowledge from the young tour guides (kindest people I have met so far! - I mean it! Dear Mexican people: please learn some good manners from these guys! 😉) , the content, the arficacts, everything.... The whole site is wonderfully looked after , and it is literally history is being explored right in front of your eyes.
I feel honoured and humbled that I had a chance to explore this wonderful place. Thank you.

Absolutely stunning! This Pre-Classic site is about an hour's drive out of Guadalajara and is well worth it. There's a carpark, toilets and a museum, which is very interesting. Had an artist go through some of the interactive elements in the museum, which was fascinating. Then I had a guide, which I don't normally do, but thought it useful. There is a walk up the hill to the site, so be ready. It is quite steep at parts but is paved. Once you reach the top, prepare to be amazed.
The ages of the tombs/temples increase as you go round and there could still be more to be found, as the largest one remains unexcavated. There are signs and maps so you can figure out where to go if you are on your own. The views from here are stunning too and in the background lies the Tequila volcano.
Can be done with a visit to Tequila and highly recommend stopping in Teuchitlan for a walk about.

Precolonnial unique round pyramids!
A short but steep hike up - a ride is an option, but it was totally manageable. We hired a guide, and he was worth every peso. After we walked, we went into the museum near the parking lot. They played a short documentary for us in English - they had just run in Spanish immediately before.
I found this place super interesting and worth the drive from Aijijic.
Felicity Allcorn — Google review
This site was amazing. Get a guide who knows the area to take you on a tour. You have to arrange this ahead of time but if you ask enough people you'll be able to find someone. Our guide worked in excavation at the site for 20+ years so he knew what made it special and he shared culturally significant information. The museum was good but we definitely got to see the inside works by having a guide.
Tip: if you're not in decent shape, or if you're traveling with young children or older adults, ask at the museum about getting a ride to the site. It's not a long walk but it's very steep, there's no shade, and nowhere to sit down.

Zona arqueologica Teuchitlan or Guachimontones is a beautiful archeological place. When I went there were not many tourists and we had the hole place almost to ourselves. It was very peaceful.
We arrived on bus from Guadalajara and ate at a small restaurant near the bus station. Then we walked up a hill to go to the archeological site. You can also go up in a vehicle. It is quite an up hill walk, and we got tired, but it was worth it. I left some videos of the archeological site. There were some very nice views out on the horizon. They also have a small museum at the archeological site. They also have a sort of nature trail that you can walk through, which was nice. Be sure to take sunblock if it is a sunny day and a sun hat.

It was very interesting and it deserves a visit.

What happened here? Who built this place? Why are we just finding it? It’s a great site with mysteries we may never know. As as the excavations continue, perhaps we will learn one day. Not an easy trek to get up the hill, so if you’re not expecting that, it could ruin the whole experience. (And use the bathroom ! There is not one at the top). Be sure to use a guide on site. I

There is a sweet scent in the air. It was Friday night and there was a mass taking place. There was a woman who was leading the worship. It appeared to me that most everyone present was a local.
The building itself is beautiful , it does have much character and some of the imperfections give it much of its patina.
The remains of Santo Toribio Romo Gonzalez the patron saint of immigrants are kept there.

Brilliant! 100% don't miss!!
So many sites on the internet say this place is only open certain days. If the review you read is more than 5 minutes old l, forget it. This town is evolving and distilleries like this are pretty much open everyday. Just show up and ask for a tour.
I have been to Mexico about 20 times and my favorite thing is to visit small unique towns. Tequila is an incredible place if you want authentic Mexican culture, food, kind people, and good vibes. But this town has one extra thing, tequila!!!
La Rojeña is where the José Cuervo magic happens. The tour is completely informative, explaining the tequila making process in detail, and at the end (if you pay the extra pesos for the tasting package, a MUST in my opinion) you get a view into tequila flavors and nuance that I never knew existed! Trust me, stop reading this review and just go there! The tasting at the end is amazing!
It was absolutely brilliant! Our guide (sorry, can't remember her name) was perfect. At each stop, though the factory is loud, she had a mic connected to Bose speakers so you could hear every word (I did the English speaking tour).
At the end you can buy special made tequilas at factory prices. Absolutely no pressure to buy, but a good deal all the same!
I am fairly cynical when it comes to touristy things, this is a 100% don't miss!!!

My significant other and I walked in the Recepción Venta De Boletos and ended up purchasing the Experiencia Clásica for the tour of La Rojeña. The Precio / Price was $315MXN for each person. It wasn’t too bad and I figured this would be the best place to do my first tequila tour.
The tour started by us sitting down to watch the history of the company on a large screen. It was in Spanish, but it had English subtitles. It was maybe around 15 minutes and gave a good background of their company. When it was over, our tour guide greeted us to continue our experience.
He took us through the entrance to La Rojeña. We were shown tequila in the Ordinario, also known as Ordinary form. We weren’t able to taste it, but we were able to smell it. It was strong! The bottle that was near that one was the Blanco, also known as White. This tequila was the Tradicional Plata. We were able to taste this one. It had a nice warmth to it. It was good quality in my opinion.
Not long after, we approached a barrel area. We got to try the 6 Meses, 12 Meses, and 18 Meses forms of tequila. The 6 Meses was the Tradicional Reposado. The 12 Meses and 18 Meses were both the Tradicional Añejo. I enjoyed all of them in a different way.
Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He explained everything tremendously.
Overall, the tour of La Rojeña was an excellent experience! I would love to visit again someday!

The tour was okay, but we felt that it was rushed because the spanish crowd was catching up behind the English tour. Compared to other tours, this felt a little less thrilling. But it was still good. There are many Tequila tours, this is not my first choice.

We discovered Casa Sauza by accident, and it was a fantastic experience. The grounds and garden are immaculate, and the ambiance is peaceful and serene. We felt and were treated like royalty by the staff, and the food and drinks were amazing. We started with house made salsa and chips, and I ordered a Sauza margarita rimmed with Tajin. Next, we ordered a tuna tartare dish and a wrapped tuna dish that touched every sensory signal on our taste buds. Lord willing, I will be back very soon. The next time, I will plan on spending two full days in this Pueblo Magico. I feel like we just touched the surface of this town, and there are many memories left to be made!

Not only one of the most beautiful places to eat in Tequila but maybe all of Mexico. A hidden gem of a hacienda style restaurant with amazing service, food and ambiance. I highly recommended you visit here when in or near Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico.

Had such a tasty lunch here in the courtyard of the hacienda.

RUN....don't walk to Casa Sauza!
This place is an absolute gem that's shine is only outmatched by the staff that run it.
I had my wedding here in October of 2023. I was traveling from the US and was doing everything virtually, with no planning or prepping in person. And IRMA DID THE THING!
She was INCREDIBLE to work with! It was like she could read my thoughts and everything was better and more magical than I ever could have imagined. I would get married here a million times over if I could. Such a wonderful experience all around.

We had the pleasure of going on their English tour. A lovely woman who taught us a bunch of the things about the making of tequila. I recommend this place! Make sure to grab a bottle or two after the tour, their tequila is great.

We had our lunch and I must say it is a beautiful place. You could take a stroll in their beautiful garden while your food comes.
We did not do their tour but the experience in the restaurant was good . Service was slightly slow given that we had a time crunch for our tour.

We did the excellent distillery tour them had a fabulous comida. This is the best place in town to eat. Forget what Trip Advisor says. Their number one was a huge let down.

We’ve been here many times and the place was always awesome. Full of history, great modern food but also traditional dishes. I would recommend birria and pozole. The chef even recommended us pairing of cocktails with our dishes. Definitely a highlight!
The shop offers excellent tequila for a great price!

Casa is beautiful, the tequila tour is good and worth every penny, they take you to the agave field and show you the process, after that you take a tequila tasting class (get ready to lesvw drunk) and you make tour own cantaritos! Local shop is cheap, tequila is super cheap!

A hidden treasure. Entrance not marked, you needed to know where to go. Entire site clean and well maintained. A knowledgeable guide who could explain the structures and share Aztec history would be welcome. Come prepared with comfortable shoes and sun hat or umbrella. It will be amazing to see this place in ten years if there is appropriate funding. Right now, anyone can walk in and wander and pick up shards or obsidian artifacts. There were two women who were maintaining the site. Unfortunately, no security.

Attended a Day of the Dead event which was very fun and interesting. Unfortunately the entire archeological zone was not open due to the special event, but I look forward to returning to experience the entire site.

I wish there could be more detail for each ruin. Not enough detail of the history of the place. For what is available, it's very clean and well maintained.

Very nice organized , they even have a small exhibition with typical prehispanic figures of the area the people who were at the entrance were very kind on giving me directions and info , the place is well taken care and its wonderful to visit even more during summer due to the large grass areas, very interesting not too far from Guadalajara excellent for a quick sunday "escape ", : )

Awesome place, needs more detail, and requires attention, ppl at the entrance Kinda rude. Overall nice experience.
The building is amazing and the guy receiving us was awesome and helped us not hate our stay. We went for Valentine’s Day and the place run out of electricity during the night, the worker was gone to turn on the electric plant. The fireplace in the room has the pilot off and we had to sleep cold. We didn’t get the WiFi password so we didn’t have any service to let him know the power was gone. The next morning the restaurant was closed for the day that I wish I would know since the website promotes this nice restaurant. Also the 14th we thought about going to el general steak house and they closed that day as well. We felt it was a waste of money since we could not enjoy the hotel amenities and the restaurants were closed.

Beautiful tranquil place with very attentive staff. Bed was very comfortable, room was very clean with good water pressure. Make sure to confirm the hot water has been turned on in the rooms. Jacuzzi was a nice temperature. The breakfast was excellent. Overall on the pricey side but worth it if you’re looking for a luxury getaway.

Beautiful place! My only disappointment was that the restaurant was closed for dinner! We didn't know until we arrived. Plenty of restaurants a 15 minute walk away (no ubers, few taxis).
Mark Charette — Google review
Stunning surroundings but WOW the service and welcomness of the manager ruined everything!!! Worst part is that he keeps charging my CC! First a double charge the day of checkout that I had my bank reverse right away when it came to my attention. Now a month later a new charge for a stay a slightly different amount so not a mistake. He claims he can't find the charge even though it's clearly posted on my bank statement that I sent to him as prof.
San Sebastian is an amazing place and definitely worth visiting ... and there are many wonderful hotels ...so pick another and save yourself This experience.

I'll never travel to Mazatlan without this trip planner again
Best Park in Tepic! Great for Family Picnics, activities, or just want to gat away and get lost in nature. All kinds of things to do. From the train to the jogging track that goes all around the park, or creative sculpture painting with the family or by yourself. It's fun for everyone and safe.

My review works best for vessel based visitors. That said we have been visiting this area since 2013. There are several palapa restaurants on the Las Islitas road. You can come by boat, car or taxi or collectivo taxi. From San Blas it is only 15 minutes or so. From anchor in the bay, aim for the big green building on the beavh. We like to visit Varo and Alicia at Playa Hermosa restaurant. It's just west of the big green building. A hint is to sit at a table up by the kitchen to avoide the jejenes, a little... Food and drinks are excellent! (Shrimp cevichi, huevos rancheros, platanos con lechera). You are dining in a little piece of paradise!

(Translated by Google) The beach is very clean, the waves are very calm, you have to walk to get to the beach since it is far from the restaurant area.
It is perfect since it is not very visited, we went during Easter and there was a lot of fresh air, we brought sweatshirts. We eat food from La Corona Restaurant, which is in the area in front of the beach. For the water to cover us we had to go several meters in
(Original)
La playa está muy limpia, el oleaje es muy tranquilo, hay que caminar para llegar a la playa ya que está retirado de la zona restaurantera.
Es perfecta ya que no es muy visitada, fuimos en semana santa y hacía mucho aire fresco, traíamos sudaderas. Consumimos alimentos del Restaurante La Corona que está en la zona frente a la playa. Para que nos cubriera el agua teníamos que meternos varios metros
