Mazatlán


Three blocks from the beach, this is a good-value option offering spotless rooms with kitchenettes and either a king-size, double or twin beds along a pleasant plant-filled patio. It rents out bikes, bodyboards and fishing gear and has an ecologically minded policy of recycling solid waste. Turn off the coast road opposite the gold statue of a pulmonía taxi.
