If you’re wondering where to stay in Mazatlán, Fiesta Inn Mazatlán is a great pick. Modern, comfortable, and in a location that makes it easy to get to everything Mazatlán has to offer—what more could you ask for?
Mazatlán is one of those places where you could easily spend an entire vacation just trying to find the best places to stay, and you’d still probably miss a few gems.
After plenty of research, I’ve tracked down three hotels that will give you the perfect base for exploring this lively beach town.
And I’ll tell you right now: they’re not exactly bargain basement prices, but they’ll save you from the usual tourist traps.
You’re going to sleep well, eat well, and be close to everything you actually want to see. No one wants to stay in a dump when there’s an entire city waiting to impress you, right?
Fiesta Inn Mazatlán
Let’s start with the Fiesta Inn Mazatlán. This place is just steps away from Camaron Beach, which is convenient because that’s where you’ll want to be most of the time. A modern hotel that knows how to make you feel like you’re on holiday, it’s got all the essentials: air-conditioned rooms, free Wi-Fi, and, of course, an indoor pool.
You can grab a meal at one of the restaurants, or if you’re feeling lazy (and let’s face it, you will be), there’s room service. The best part? You’re not far from the famous Olas Altas Beach, and you don’t have to fight through a maze of hotel corridors to get there. Click to view the images >>
Gamma Mazatlán The Inn at Centro Histórico
Now, for something with a bit more history: Gamma Mazatlán, right in the Centro Histórico. You can tell this hotel has character. It’s the kind of place where you open your window and take in the charm of the city’s old streets.
No need to worry about being far from the action—it’s all right there. Plazuela Machado is practically at your doorstep, and the Angela Peralta Theatre is just a short stroll away. Plus, there’s a gym (which, let’s be honest, you’ll ignore) and a nice little restaurant. It’s the kind of place you’ll stay at and think, “I’m definitely coming back here next time.” Click to view the images >>
Villa Serena Centro Histórico
If you like the idea of a place that feels like home but with none of the usual hassle, Villa Serena Centro Histórico is your go-to. With an outdoor pool, hot tub, and a garden, it’s got that chilled-out vibe that makes you feel like you’ve found a secret getaway.
The apartments come with full kitchens, meaning you can make your own breakfast or pretend you know how to cook something more complicated—like ceviche. Walk to nearby markets and restaurants, or head to the beach just a stone’s throw away. It’s laid-back, it’s convenient, and it’s a hidden gem. Click to view the images >>
Final Words
Alright, these places might not be the cheapest (we’re not in some run-down hostel), but they’ve got exactly what you need: a bit of luxury, a bit of comfort, and most importantly, a prime location.
Stay at one of these, and you won’t be asking, “Where am I?” while trying to find a taxi at 3 a.m. Instead, you’ll be asking, “When can I come back?” and that’s a good sign.
