MAZATLAN
It's a historic capital. It's a beach Resort. It's a lively, romantic town.
The most attractive feature of Mazatlán is its Malecón/boardwalk, which stretches more than 14 kilometers, is adorned with bronze sculptures, is framed by the Pacific Ocean, and features several shops and hotels. It’s an ideal location for walking, running, biking, or rollerblading and is frequented daily, day and night, by many locals and tourists alike.
Another distinctive architectural landmark of the city of Mazatlán is located atop Cerro del Creston. This is the Mazatlán lighthouse built in 1821. It was the first port on the high seas in the Mexican Pacific. Since then, the port has received ships from around the world.
Another exciting attraction you cannot miss is the daily spectacle of the cliff divers of Florieta Sánchez Taboada on Paseo Claussen.
The exquisite cuisine of Mazatlán is distinguished by seafood and traditional Sinaloa dishes, such as ceviche, fish, aguachile, smoked marlin and tuna, a pork dish of chilorio, Sinaloa-style grilled chicken, shrimp tamales, and fish machaca. These are some of the delights that Mazatlán offers visitors. Among the classic drinks are fresh coconut drinks, the sometimes fermented tejuino, the soft drink tonicol, and the beer Pacifico, made in Mazatlán.
A great city to visit with its culture, and it's a great kept secret. Like Puerto Vallarta, it is not as commercialized as others. There is plenty to do and enjoy, or relax and be pampered. We have several suites below that we enjoy visiting for their exclusivity.

Travel Tips & FAQs
- Best Time to Visit: Anytime is a great time to visit Cabo. Summer time, right after Thanksgiving and before Christmas, is the best time for small crowds and lower-priced rooms. December through May is a great time for whale watching. January through March is a great time to escape the cold winters. However, there are many reasons to spend Christmas in Mexico, and our guide might offer some compelling reasons worth exploring.
- Currency: The official currency is the Mexican Peso (MXN), but U.S. dollars are widely accepted and preferred by locals.
- Reservations: Book spa treatments, All-Inclusive (AI) dining experiences, and golf tee times in advance to ensure availability.
- How much does it cost to stay in Mexico?
While room rates vary, any luxury Resort will be on the more expensive side, generally compared to a standard hotel. However, to determine rates, you also need to consider the season, room type, the Resort, upgrades, and booking source. We here at VTE have most of the options you're looking for, all at OWNER RATES.
How to Save Money on Traveling
Most visit resorts in Mexico because they can be cheaper than those in other tropical destinations, but rates can fluctuate throughout the year.
While booking through online travel agencies (OTAs) and the hotel can be convenient, the rates are usually pricier, and you’re treated like just a number. Choices like Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, Kayak, or others typically include significant fees, steeper base prices, and only include basic amenities. Also, customer service can be hit-or-miss and time-consuming.
Booking a Resort with us, as an Owner's Guest, is a game-changer for savvy travelers, unlocking discounts, receiving Owner amenities, and improving their vacation experience by cutting out the middleman. You can experience a vacation that feels luxurious and rewarding, without the financial burden that often comes with booking through traditional channels.
