The beaches are great. Hanging out at one of the restaurants on the beach is a great way to spend the afternoon. You get an umbrella, table, chairs, good food and cold beer.

Had a fun time here, the penguins were a treat. The shows were fun and I would think informative if I could understand Spanish. They did make us non locals feel welcome. Well worth a visit. Good for a few hours entertainment. Will go again when I come back to Mazatlan.

I really wish I had more time to explore Mazatlan. I was on a seven-day cruise and I feel like I only scratched the surface. One highlight, though, was visiting the Catedral Basílica de la Inmaculada Concepción. It was truly beautiful and a must-see for anyone traveling to the are

I am rarely to never inspired to write reviews of anything but we had such a lovely stay at the Old Mazatlán Inn that I feel compelled to recommend it to other travelers. Old Mazatlán Inn is located near the historic Centro of Mazatlán, it is a couple of blocks from one of the nicest beaches in the city and close to a variety of restaurants. It's nowhere near the majority of most of the hotels, meaning it's a much quieter, more genuine part of Mazatlán. The rooms are actually condos so in each unit there is everything you could possibly need - a small kitchen, a television, desk, chairs, etc. The inn is charming. A lot of attention has been paid to the decor and design of the units and the outside spaces. The terraces are one very nice feature - you can see the ocean as well as the city. As nice as all this was, the best part of our stay (and why I felt like I should write this review) is because the hosts at the Old Mazatlán Inn made us feel so comfortable and welcome. We were traveling in Mazatlán during the off season so there weren't many people staying at the Inn. I feel like it would be easy to kind of forget about us but they didn't. In fact, they went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. During our stay a tropical storm/hurricane hit Sinaloa to the north of Mazatlán so as one could imagine there was quite a bit of rain. Some of which made it's way into our room under the door (we were not surprised or upset, that's the kind of thing that happens when rain and wind are battering a condo). We were pleasantly surprised to come back from lunch and find that our room had been mopped and the water taken care of (unasked!) our hosts decided to move us into a larger unit for the issue (also, unasked). Our hosts were able to answer questions about things to do in Mazatlán and ensured that we had everything we needed during our stay. O'Neil and Jorge made our stay very pleasant and should we find ourselves in Mazatlán again, we know where we will be staying.

Spectacular views going up and coming down! A steady walk takes less than 20 minute with one quick rest in-between. Wide, well paved paths. A few landings between the low slop, wide steps. No railings. We enjoyed the effortless walk down with the amazing views.
