Mar 03, 2025Year after year still love it.
Spent another last two weeks end of January here. This is visit number 9/10 here. Had a room wasn’t too happy with first night, was a little difficult to get another but as always the front desk staff came through. Ended up in 408, great view. It’s wonderful to see the same staff we’ve come to know and repeat guests that we have gotten to know year after year. Some who have been coming for over 30 years. Guests are treated extremely well. The hotel is old. No question. And yes could use a little updating. They keep the place spotless. Always cleaning. The location in the golden zone makes it safe and fun to eat out, watch live music, shop. It’s not upscale. No fridges in the room. The buffet is ok The a la cartes are very good. The sports bar is modern and fun. Most pools are cold. Main pool heated. The beach is very nice. The sea is not the Caribbean. Banda can be annoying and sometimes entertaining. Spanish is the main language. Learn a bit before you go. Many Mexicans travel here for vacation. More Mexicans than Canadians and Americans. Which makes it great. The staff as I’ve mentioned over and over make this such a terrific place to be.

Mar 03, 2025Find another resort
I have never made a review in all my 30 years of travelling in 25 plus countries. I need to make sure I can help as many as possible find a different resort in Mazatlan. The Hotel Playa Mazatlan had very nice staff ( the half that could speak English ) and a nice view. That’s all I have nice to say. Food was horrible and people got sick. We had to eat out for most of the trip. Rooms were not nice at all very dated. Our toilet was broken and we got charged for it ( super mad about that ). Manager was very rude and should be working in house keeping so he doesn’t have to interact with guests. Pool and pool bar were closed with no one working on it. We were told it has been closed for months. Do yourself a favour and find somewhere else.

Feb 28, 2025Banda Torture
Playa Mazatlan has the potential to be a wonderful resort. The heritage Old Town is beautiful and the people are friendly and warm. But every single day starting at about noon and continuing into the night a relentless stream of Banda bands, consisting of amplified trumpets, trombones, Tuba, clarinets, and singers descend upon the beach, creating a cacophony of noise that is impossible to escape. I understand there is cultural significance to this music. It would be better appreciated if it were not an assault on our ears every day for hours on end. Often multiple bands play different songs simultaneously within a few feet of each other… very very loudly. I will never return to Mazatlan as long as this audio attack goes on and destroys any chance of enjoying the spectacular beach. What a tragic shame.

Feb 22, 2025First visit to Mazatlan
I visited Hotel Playa Mazatlan for a week in Feb 2025 with my family. I’ll start by saying the people working here are all amazing. Super friendly and great service! There are heated pools including a beautiful adult only pool with an amazing view of the beach! The beach here is nice and wide with powdery soft sand. The food at the a la carte restaurants was good overall. The buffet food was not good… cold and hard to tell what most things were as they all seemed like leftover food made into stews.. There is drink service at the pool as well as at the beach which was an unexpected bonus and great service too! We booked a private transfer from the airport as well as back to the airport after our trip and it was perfect! I’ll attach a photo of the taxi booth we used. They were right on time and friendly, and were able to transport 7 of us with all of our luggage at a cost of $113 US total to get to hotel and be picked up and taken back to airport. Unfortunately the reason I won’t visit this arena again are the bands that play from 11:00 am until 6:30 pm. They are extremely loud and really make it difficult to relax and enjoy sitting at the beach :( I would say for the price to stay here that it is overall good value for your money.

Great time at Playa Mazatlan Beach Hotel
ROBERT AND JANICE WATSON Great Time at Playa Mazatlan Beach Hotel We were impressed with the Playa Mazatlan Beach Hotel located right in Downtown Mazatlan. The staff was excellent and everyone was pleasant and did their best as we do not speak Spanish The hotel was older but very well laid out as my wife uses a transport Chair and everything is accessible. There were ramps everywhere and one that took her right to the beach where we helped her get to the ocean every day. The restaurants were all good with the Brazilian we felt was the best. We found the buffet really good with sufficient choice but at the end it was repetitive but we were there 15 days and that is to be expected. The waiters in the buffet were exceptional! Our room was 304 on the third floor but that presented no problems with good and numerous elevators. The room was good and although somewhat dated was kept in excellent level of cleanliness. They mop the floors there constantly and that level of cleanliness was throughout the resort. We almost did not go do to this hotel due to the bad reviews we saw, but were convinced by our relative who had been there 4 times before. I am glad we went and circumstances permitting we will return. I would like to address some of those parts of the bad reviews: 1) Loud bands playing on the beach. Yes they were there and loud but they only stayed a few minutes and left. I found it loud but part of the experience. No big deal! 2) Room had mold. I can only speak to our rooms and they were clean 3) Too many people speaking Spanish DAH you are in Mexico! 4) The food was cold at Buffet Experienced a little of this but it was not due to them not trying. It is difficult when you look at the length of time it is open. I found going early eliminated that problem. 5) Vendors on the beach Loved those guys just talk to them they are just trying to make a living. Once they get to know you are not interested they are fine yet still had a conversation with us every day. 6) Noise From Oyster Bar This is real just insist on a room at the opposite side of the hotel. If you are a party person you probably be at the bar anyway. Bottom line I would go back and intend to next year! Date of experience: February 04, 2025
