Not quite Dreams quality, but acceptable value for money
N’équivaut pas un Dreams mais qualité-prix acceptable

- We traveled in May with two young children. - We expected a decrease in visitors, perhaps even a reduction in activities. However, it was unfortunately worse than expected. - Approximately two restaurants were open at each mealtime; the buffet was only open two days out of seven. - The staff is exemplary and very kind, but there is a severe lack of staff (very low staffing levels across all departments). As a result, the speed of service, the upkeep of the facilities, and the entertainment are all affected. - All the food is excellent, without exception, in every restaurant. - The rooms are very spacious. - There was a general lack of air conditioning for about 15 hours during our stay. - Very small resort; everything is close together. - The beach is huge; you can walk for a very long time, but you can't swim there. - Very close to the airport.

- nous avons voyagé en mai, avec deux jeunes enfants.
- Nous nous attendions à une baisse d’achalandage, peut-être même une réduction d’activités. Par contre c’était malheureusement pire que prévu.
- Environ deux restaurants d’ouverts à chaque repas, le buffet a été ouvert seulement deux jours sur sept.
- Le personnel est exemplaire et très gentil, mais il manque terriblement de quantité de personnel (très low staff, tous départements confondus). La rapidité du service, l’entretien des lieux, le divertissement, s’en trouve donc atteints.
- Toute la nourriture est excellente, sans exception, tout restaurant confondu.
- Les chambres sont très spacieuses.
-Il y a eu un manque de climatisation global pendant environ 15 heures lors de notre séjour.
-Très petit site, tout est à proximité
-La plage est immense, on peut marcher très longtemps, mais on ne peut pas s’y baigner
-Très proche de l’aéroport.

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.
