Mazatlan Hostels

Very friendly staff

The location of their private beach is the best in my opinion it’s so clean. The service of the hotel is too strict. I ran into problems because of the bracelet thing. One of my family members got her deers erased by being in the beach and she was stopped and asked to go to the reception to check if she was a guest at the hotel but we told the security to look at our bracelets and they were from the hotel and my grandmas was also fading yet he didn’t believe us so we had to go to the reception. It was time wasted that we had to deal with just for them to be yes they are guests. And then it happened again because the first time they didn’t change our bracelets when they should’ve have done that in the first place.

I stayed at The Palms for 7 nights in early November. I have stayed here many times over the years, at least 15 times. I have always given good reviews of my stays. The recent sale of the hotel has brought some changes, not all of them good. They have changed out the lobby furniture, more informal, less classy. The addition of the Panama Restaurant has brought many more people to the property, many who are not staying there. Good for the hotel I'm sure but more crowded for guests seeking tables at the outside restaurant, etc. But my biggest disappointment was that they hosted a wedding on property at the pool that went to 11 o'clock. With live music blaring into everyone's room! I thought the band was done until the wedding party brought up a banda group for the last hour from the beach. I'm sure it was pre-arranged. Oh brother. I can't believe the hotel management thought so little of its guests to allow this kind of noise late into the night. There was no way to sleep during this event in my opinion. I should have complained to the management but did not and that is my fault for not doing so. Maybe they would have given me some consideration on a future stay. I usually stay on weeknights only and this just reinforces that weekends are not for me at The Palms.

My family stayed at Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay Feb 18-Mar 4, 2023. As always we had a wonderful visit at Pueblo Bonito. We are extremely thankful for the wonderful people working so hard to make our vacation relaxing. Melissa and Enrique are very friendly and helpful. Melissa took such good care of us. My son got sick when we were there and she made sure to help us get a doctor. He was feeling better in no time! At the Cordelier, Carmen, Jairo, Claudio, Nahu, Ariel without fail are welcoming and attentive. At the poolside, Felipe was the absolute best. Antonio at the front entrance was a familiar welcoming face who went above and beyond to help us out. The only negatives I have is that the lounge chairs by the poolside are very uncomfortable. It was quite difficult to get out of the chairs. Also, there was one employee, named Idilia, up front in the lobby that was extremely rude. She approached us when we were waiting and started scolding us. It was very unprofessional and I was quite surprised as everyone else at Pueblo Bonito has been so friendly and helpful.

Experience was poor. Went to the snack shop and was given a coffee with chunks of milk floating in it. When I showed them and asked for a new one they said no it was fine I had to pay a new one. Asked the management to deal with it and they were indifferent. Breakfast wasn’t great either. Room was ok but had some maintenance issues e.g lights not working etc.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, the facilities were super clean and all the furniture was new. Food and the buffet service was great too. I’m definitely staying again here

Third time I have stayed here-this time for a month and one week visit of 2 of my son’s families. The entire hotel is freshly painted. I stay on 7th floor near elevator to help block street noise-Mazatlan is noisy. Excellent friendly staff-William -Jorge Front desk /Gema housekeeping/Christopher-Jose- Pool activities & yoga/Friendly Security/Life Guards alert/Pool Wait Staff-friendly & attentive/Restuarant Staff did excellent job making my Granddaughter’s 16th Birthday celebration memorable/Grounds keepers constantly cleaning and watering. My family had great vacation here. I get that it is an old hotel so things not perfect but Hotel trying to be at a good price point. Had weekend entertainment on outdoor stage that was nice too—-I will be back

The location is great, the pool area is very nice, and the restaurant ”condimento” is great during the breakfast buffet. However, I would not recommend the hotel for the following reasons: -My room was ugly, dated, and in bad condition. Additionally, there were bugs in the ceiling. -The hallways in the hotel smelled bad due to the garbage being stored outside on the bottom floor (I have pictures) and the open property next door having a garbage disposal area right next to Emporio hotel. -The valet parking took too long to bring vehicles to customers. -The bar was attended by young people unaware of customer service, the waiters and bartenders needed to be trained. Some waiters would charge you for drinks before delivering, and others would not. Most customers had to go to the bar because waiters did not approach anybody for orders or drinks. Lastly, the bartenders would play music randomly and stop/interrupt the songs if they did not like it, making it very annoying. -It was very inconvenient not being able to bring coffee, water, or food to my hotel room. I recommend the hotel for the breakfast buffet. It has a great view, and the service during breakfast was good!

When we arrived they couldn’t find our reservation. Finally after 15 minutes they find it. We ask for towels to use at the pool. They say they didn’t have any but someone would bring them to our room. We get to the room that was supposed to have one king or two queens. It had one Queen. Very small room. Hard mattress. My arms kept falling asleep. I only wish the rest of me could have done the same. Two sheets, top and bottom. No blanket. It had an ocean view however the balcony door stuck so badly it took all my husbands muscles to open. No lock on the door either. We went for supper, when we got back still no pool towels. So I decide to have a shower and realize there were no towels at all. Nothing. So my husband calls. They say they will bring some. I wait. And wait. I go back downstairs and tell the man at the desk I need two towels. He opens the cupboard, searches through a stack of towels and hands me one bath towel and two hand towels. No I say I need dos grande. Nope. He say no we no have. Not sure why I couldn’t have one out of the stack of towels that were there. They couldn’t be pool towels because he looked through them earlier when we checked in and asked then for pool towels, just as it said to do on the information page they gave us. I guess maybe they were thursdays towels only and we came in on Wednesday… who knows. Anyways with all that and the elevator that was in need of repair, (it was loud and out of balance and rubbed on something when you rode up or down) and the mold on the bathroom floor it is not worth the money at all.
