Best Hotel by M! Magazine
A good hotel makes more than good memories – it makes great memories that not only don´t fade with time but keep on keepin’ on. Such is the case with your choice for the Best Hotel, the Hotel Playa Mazatlán. In 1952, it was the first hotel built on what was then "the north coast", 1/4 mile of beachfront with a view of the islands offshore, gentle surf and swaying palms. More than half a century later, it remains the No. 1 choice for visitors, who enjoy the friendly ambiance, weekly "Mexican Fiesta" showcasing local music and dance (ongoing for 40+ years!), oodles of beachfront activities, a new spa and fitness course, and of course just relaxing in the numerous indoor and outdoor spaces, including the classic row of Concordia-style wooden rocking chairs lined up in the front lobby.The restaurant and bar are open to the public; I say take a day, go enjoy like the tourists do and see what it´s all about.

From M! Magazine:
You know the saying about "Youre not getting older, you´re getting better" Well, that seems to be the case with the Hotel Playa Mazatlán, our 2010 Mazzie winner for Best Hotel. (And 2009 winner, too!) The Playa, as it´s called, was the very first hotel, built in 1952, in what´s now the Gold Zone in Mazatlan. That´s more than half a century of fine service, with thousands of satisfied, happy guests returning year after year with family and friends to enjoy the fine service, beautiful oceanfront rooms, fabulous surf and sand, gorgeous sunsets and so much more that the Playa has to offer. Even if you´re not a guest, you can check out the monthly Mexican Fiesta, a one-of-a-kind eventwith traditional live music, dancing and food, or the beachfront restaurant and bar. Hey, why not? – All those visitors can’t be wrong!.
