Hotel Riu Emerald Bay - All Inclusive
Friendly staff and lots to do. Riuland was our daughter’s favorite with the activities. Pool bar with Rock band was fun! Massive family rooms slept 6 comfortably. Bring shampoo and conditioner !

Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay Resort & Spa - All Inclusive
The rooms were very clean and well maintained. Excellent beds, and huge suites with kitchen, though you don’t need it because of the all inclusive plan. But this is a premium resort I think is the best in Mazatlan!

Costa Bonita Resorts
It’s a beautiful place to stay right by the beach. The only bad thing is that this place doesn’t clean the room so if your staying for a few days be prepared to clean your room.
