4-star limit
Limite 4*

Very limited and geared towards locals who flock to the resort. Therefore, the food is very locally focused.

Très limité orienté vers les local qui envahissent le resorte
Donc nourriture très orienté local

Week in Mazatlan: An Honest Review
Semaine à Mazatlan review honnête

We went on a couple's trip at the end of May 2025. We really enjoyed our trip. Positive points: Clean pool, clean room, very friendly staff. The buffet is excellent, the à la carte restaurants are really good. No reservations are required; you always have a choice. It's even possible to dine at Oceana, one of the à la carte restaurants. The app is efficient for making requests, such as breakfast in your room, room cleaning, etc. Negative points: The English level of some of the servers. It wasn't possible to go swimming in the sea. It was difficult to get bottled water when ours were empty. On a few occasions, the opening hours weren't respected. For example, the bar, which is supposed to open at 10:00 am, opened at 10:30 am. It would have been nice to have a children's pool without needing the Preferred Pass. Restaurants: Meraki 10/10, really good. Portofino is also very good; you need to wear long pants and closed shoes. El Patio: the one we liked the least. We wish the Mexican restaurant had stayed true to its roots; it seemed like they were trying to be fancy, so it wasn't as authentically Mexican. Oceana 10/10, excellent! I don't usually like shrimp, but these were the best I've ever had. The gym was really well-equipped, and the machines were up-to-date. Volleyball games every day at 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Excursion: We took the Mazatlan city tour and enjoyed it ($46 per person). The only downside was the number of stops, but it was quick. Those who took the Stone Island tour ($110 USD per person) mentioned that it was a tourist trap and definitely not worth the price. It's better to take a taxi and go there yourself, since the beach is worth it. The airport is a 10-minute drive away.


Nous sommes allés en voyage de couple fin mai 2025. Nous avons vraiment aimé notre voyage.

Point positif: Piscine propre, chambre propre, personnel très gentil. Le buffet est excellent, les restaurants à la carte sont vraiment bon. Aucune reservation de demandé, on a toujours le choix. Il est meme possible de diner au Oceana un des restaurants à la carte. Application efficace pour faire des demandes autant dejeuner a la chambre, nettoyage de chambre etc.

Point négatif:
Niveau d’anglais de certains serveurs. Pas possible d’aller se baigner à la mer. Ce fut compliqué à avoir des bouteilles d’eau lorsque les nôtres etaient vides.
À quelques reprises les heures d’ouvertures n’étaient pas respectées. Exemple le bar qui est censé ouvrir a 10h am mais qui ouvre a 10h30.
Il aurait été interessant d’avoir une piscine enfant seulement sans avoir la passe preffered.

Restaurant:
Meraki 10/10 vraiment bon
Portofino très bon aussi, il faut avoir des pantalons long et souliers fermés
El Patio: celui qu’on a le moins aimé. On aurait aimé que le restaurant mexicain reste à la base, on dirait qu’il voulait faire fancy, donc c’etait moins classique mexicain.
Oceana 10/10 excellent, je n’aime pas les crevettes et c’etait les meilleurs que j’ai mangé

Gym vraiment adapté et machine à jour.

Match de volley ball a tous les jours 11h et 16h

Excursion: Nous avons fait le tour de la ville de Mazatlan et nous avons apprécié (46$ /personne). Seul defaut, il y a beaucoup d’arrêt mais c’est rapide.

Pour ceux qui ont fait celle de Stone island (110$ us par personne), ils mentionnent que c’etait un attrape touristes et que ca ne vaut vraiment pas le prix. Mieux vaut se prendre un taxi et y aller puisque la plage en vaut le coup.

Aéroport a 10 minutes de route.

A wonderful experience
Très belle expérience

A beautiful resort to discover. The restaurants were all very good except for the buffet restaurant, which could be improved as it lacked variety. What I liked: no reservations were needed to go to the restaurants. During the last few days of our stay, the rooms were cleaned late.

Beau resort à découvrir
Les restaurants étaient tous très bon sauf le resto buffet serait à améliorer, manquait de variété. Ce que j’ai aimé: pas besoin de réservation pour aller aux restaurants.
Les derniers jours de notre séjour, le nettoyage des chambres etais fait tard.

Very nice hotel!
Très bel hôtel!

We really enjoyed our trip. Here are the pros and cons that might help you decide whether or not to go. Pros: The food is cruise ship quality. Everything was very good, and we could eat salad and raw vegetables without worrying about getting sick. We could even brush our teeth with tap water. The buffet is also great, with stations for omelets, pancakes, and smoothies. It's very clean, and the food is kept fresh or hot at all times (burners and dry ice). The à la carte restaurants are also delicious, with choices of dishes not found at the buffet. Several times during the week, there were "chef nights" where they brought their grills outside for a dinner show (meat bar, fish, pasta, etc.) and a mountain of desserts. The bars are great too! Room: Truly enormous with an ocean view from every room. Walk-in shower, super comfortable mattress, and impeccable sheets. No musty smell, and the air conditioning was subtle and quiet. Cleanliness: The place was constantly being cleaned (corridor, counter, pool, etc.). We only saw a few crickets outside in the evening and no cockroaches. Water slides: They're much wilder than they look. One of the highlights of our trip. We laughed a lot. Temperature: The West Coast is so much more comfortable than the Caribbean. No heaviness or humidity, always a good westerly wind. Comfortable evenings and shade (early December). No mosquitoes. We felt like we were in a cozy bubble in the evenings. Beach: We saw dolphins every day! And a few whales. Very quiet, no hotels nearby. Safe and magnificent sunsets. Golf: Excellent golf course with high-quality clubs. Book in the afternoon for a better price. Staff: Super friendly! Negative: It's a shame that check-in is so long... after a 6-hour flight, on an empty stomach and tired, it doesn't start off great. There was only one other person, and it took over 5 minutes per reservation...it took us an hour and a half to get our room. The rooms aren't very soundproof, so you're somewhat dependent on who your neighbors are. It was okay for us, but we could hear a lot of noise when people walked in the hallway and the music from the shows if we went to bed early. Having a white noise app can help. Hearing the waves, on the other hand, was pleasant. Speaking of waves, we were forbidden from swimming because of the rip currents...it's a shame because the waves would be perfect for having fun. The beach is so beautiful, no coral or rocks, shallow and warm water...but maybe they don't want to take any chances...we were a little disappointed. If you like peace and quiet during the day, there are lots of children in the pools and some locals and cruise ship passengers who come to spend the day. It's quite noisy and chaotic. If you have the budget, choose the Preferred Club for an adults-only section away from the main activity area. Otherwise, bring your headphones. That's pretty much it! I hope this helps you decide!

Nous avons bien aimé notre voyage. Voici les points positifs et négatifs qui pourront vous aider à le choisir ou pas.
Positif: La nourriture est du calibre d'une croisière. Tout était très bon et nous pouvions manger la salade et les crudités sans avoir peur d'être malade. Même se brosser les dents avec l'eau du robinet. Le buffet est super aussi avec des comptoirs d'omelettes, de crêpes et de smoothies. Très propre et aliments gardés au frais ou au chaud en tout temps (brûleurs et glace sèche). Les restaurants à la carte aussi sont délicieux avec des choix de plats qu'on ne retrouve pas au buffet. Plusieurs fois dans la semaine il y a eu des "chef night" où ils sortaient leurs grills à l'extérieur pour avoir un souper spectacle (bar à viande, poisson, pâtes...) et une montagne de desserts. Les bars aussi sont supers!
Chambre: Vraiment immense avec vue sur la mer pour toutes les chambres. Douche à l'italienne, matelas super confortable et draps impeccables. Aucune odeur d'humidité et air climatisée subtile non bruyante.
Propreté : L'endroit était toujours en train d'être nettoyé (corridor, comptoir, piscine, et ) Nous avons vu seulement quelques criquets le soir à l'extérieur et aucune coquerelle.
Glissades d'eau : Elles sont pas mal plus "wild" qu'elles en ont l'air. Un des Highlight de notre voyage. On a bcp ri
Température : la côte Ouest est tellement plus confortable que les Caraïbes. Aucune lourdeur ou humidité, toujours un bon vent de l'ouest. Soirée et ombre confortable (début décembre). Aucun moustique. On se sentait dans une bulle confortable en soirée.
Plage: On a vu des dauphins chaque jour! Et quelques fois des baleines. Très tranquille, aucun hôtel à proximité. Sécuritaire et couchers de soleil magnifique
Golf: Excellent parcours de golf avec des batons de grande qualité. Réserver après midi pour un meilleur prix.
Personnel: Super gentil!

Negatif: C'est dommage que le check-in soit si long.. après 6h de vol, le ventre vide et la fatigue, ça commence pas super bien. Il n'y avait qu'une personne et ça prenait plus de 5 min par réservation...ça pris 1:30 pour nous avant d'avoir la chambre. Les chambres ne sont pas super insonorisées..donc on dépend un peu de qui seront nos voisins. Nous c'était ok, mais on entendait bcp quand les gens passaient dans le corridor et la musique des spectacles si on se couchait tôt. Avoir une application de bruit blanc peut aider. Entendre les vagues par contre c'était agréable. Parlant de vagues, on nous interdit de se baigner en raison des contre-courants.. c'est dommage parce que les vagues seraient parfaites pour s'amuser. La plage est tellement belle, aucun corail ou roche, eau peu profonde et chaude..mais p-e qu'ils ne veulent pas prendre de chance..on était un peu déçu. Si vous aimez la tranquillité durant le jour, il y a bcp d'enfants dans les piscines et quelques locaux et des croisiéristes qui viennent passer la journée. C'est assez bruyant et cacophonique. Si vous avez le budget, choisissez le preferred club pour une section pour adulte et éloigné du centre des activités. Sinon, apportez vos écouteurs.
C'est pas mal ça! J'espère que ça vous aidera à choisir!
