Casa Contenta

Mazatlán


Right on the beach in the heart of the Zona Dorada, these spacious apartments – each with cable TV, kitchenette, dining area, double bed and two twins – make a decent option for families. The rooms and beds could do with a bit of modernizing, but it's friendly and pretty fair value for this great location.
