Mazatlan also has the best weather on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. The
winter season, in particular, is fantastic, with virtually no rain from
mid-October until mid-June. Daytime temperatures average 84 degrees
Fahrenheit. And there's always a cool breeze off of the ocean. Ocean
temperatures are rarely colder than 68 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer than
75 degrees Fahrenheit.
In addition to water sports and excellent fishing, Mazatlan has two
golf courses and 100+ tennis courts, including clay and all weather.
Mazatlan also has a wide variety of restaurants, from reasonably priced to
deluxe. You can enjoy fresh seafood on the beach under a thatched roof or
sit next to a fountain in a courtyard and experience the finest in
international cuisine. You can listen to mariachis or jazz, go for a
midnight swim or disco until dawn, do the wild and the crazy or the quiet
and the romantic.
Also, unlike many destinations, Mazatlan is easy to figure out, even
for first-time visitors. It's "user friendly". The town has a basic north
to south orientation, following the shoreline. Transportation is
inexpensive and it's easy to get from one end of town to the other. It's
also a great town for walking, with a variety of shops, sidewalk cafes,
restaurants and parks.
Following is our list of recommended hotels, which, with the exception
of La Siesta, are in the "Golden Zone." This is the area that

Mazatlan is on the mainland, directly across from the tip of
Baja California, and has the best beaches of any destination on the
Pacific Coast of Mexico. They are long and uninterrupted, some of the
longest beaches in the entire country. They're easily accessible and
walkable, ideal for families. The water is warm. The surf is generally
moderate, without dangerous undertows or riptides. There are areas for
surfing and boogie boards, and water sports of all kinds. And there are
nearby islands with their own sandy shores to explore. If you want
beaches, Mazatlan is the best, period! 
Azteca Inn is a small, inexpensive
hotel located in the Golden Zone across the street from the beach and
Hotel Playa Mazatlan. The Azteca is an excellent compromise if you want to
stretch those pesos as far as possible. You'll save some money and still
have a convenient location close to the action and only minutes from the
beach. The hotel is a low rise three-story building with 75 rooms, featuring
colorful bedspreads and marble floors. Some rooms have adjoining doors,
especially convenient for families. Most rooms face a center courtyard and
