Résumé des avis

The variety and quality of the food at the buffets are highly praised, as are the friendliness and service of the staff. The rooms are often spacious, clean, and frequently offer beautiful sea views, while the overall cleanliness of the hotel is also highlighted. The numerous swimming pools and lovely beaches perfect for walking complete this positive experience. However, it is sometimes mentioned that the à la carte restaurants can be similar to buffets, repetitive, or difficult to book.

PLUS OU MOINS BON

The beach was a zero, you couldn't swim. The elevators were also a zero; luckily we were on the 3rd floor, otherwise we would have had to take the stairs every time! Many Mexican families (90%) were unclean and ate and drank anywhere in the hotel. This is not a 5-star hotel. We will not be returning!

La plage un 0, on ne peut pas se baigner..Les ascenseur 0, un chance que nous etions au 3 ieme étage, il a fallu descendre les escaliers chaque fois! Beaucoup de familles Mexicaines (90%) pas propres, mangent et boivent n importe ou dans le hôtel. Ce n'est pas un hôtel 5 étoiles. Nous ne retournerons pas!

A very good experience at this hotel. The only negative point is that bands set up on the beach around 3:30 pm and play until after 8 pm. There are two or three at the same time, which creates a rather unpleasant racket.

Très bonne expérience à cet hôtel. Seul point négatif est le fait que des orchestres s'installent sur la plage vers 15h30 et jouent jusqu'à plus de 20h. Il y en a 2-3 en même temps ce qui fait un tintamarre assez désagréable.

Belle vacances

Beautiful beach for walking at sunset, however there are too many waves for swimming, but the pools are there, I would go back without hesitation.

Belle plage pour marcher avec coucher de soleil, cependant il y a trop de vaque pour nager, mais les piscines sont là,je retournerais sans soucis,

Have a nice trip
Beau voyage

Positive: - The view from the room. The standard rooms are in the tower (old section), but the view is wow. - The food is very good. - Lots of activities. - Mazatlan city center is super interesting to visit. Note: The waves are huge, making swimming difficult. The restaurants advertised as à la carte are not à la carte but rather themed buffets. Very good value for money.

Positif :
- la vue de la chambre. Les chambres standard sont dans la tour (vielle section) mais la vue est wow.
- la nourriture est très bonne
- beaucoup d'activités
- le centre ville de Mazatlan est super intéressant à visiter
À savoir : Les vagues sont immenses baignade difficile. Les restaurants à la carte ne sont pas à la carte mais plutôt des buffets thématique.

Très bon rapport qualité prix
