Sometimes there's nothing like your own bed (or two) to
stretch out in, when you've had a long hard day at the beach, or one
too many at the bar.
In addition to the hotels and motels around, there a many private homes that are available for short term vacation rental. These homes are fully equipped, with tourists in mind. Prices range from about $70 to $125 dollars per day during the winter high season, and usually drop substantially between May and October. You can take a look at all of the private homes that are available, and even make a reservation directly with the owner. Please note that new homes are continually being added to this program, so if you don't find what you want, when you want it, check back in a week or two and see if something new has become available.
If you know of a rental unit that needs more exposure, and would like to do a
good deed in the process, please tell the owner or manager to contact me and
participate in this program. All proceeds will be donated to the Amigos de los
Animales, and the details are available here.
If you have some specific dates in mind, you can select
your arrival date as
If you can't find what you are looking for above, you might look here for a site that has some other rental homes available.
There are lots of hotels in Mazatlan, ranging from small motels off the beaten track, to large luxury beachfront resorts. The prices range form $20 to $200 per day. Frequently someone sends me an email message asking me to recommend a hotel or describe whether or not the hotel they are staying in is "nice." I have never answered such a question. Why?
Even though Mazatlan is a big city, it is also a small town. I want to stay on good terms with all of the hotel owners in the area, so I try to refrain from expressing any preferences. I always want to be able to honestly tell them that I didn't say anything bad about their place. If you want to find out more about a particular hotel or resort, you might consider posting your inquiry on the rec. travel.latin-america newsgroup on USENET.
If you want to contact a hotel directly, here is a list of phone and fax numbers of some of the hotels and motels in Mazatlan.

There are also several trailer parks in Mazatlan, where you can drive up, hook up, and hang out. I've visited two of them so far, and found the owners friendly and helpful. One is on the beach, and called Mar Rosa Trailer Park. Their GPS co-ordinates are 23 degrees 15 minutes 26 seconds north and 106 degrees 27 minutes 35 seconds West. The cost is 10-16 dollars per day depending on the proximity to the beach. They charge 3 dollars a day extra if there are more than 2 people in the trailer, and require a 100 deposit to reserve space. The nice thing about this park is that it is right on the beach, in the middle of the golden zone. Needless to say, the beachfront spaces have been reserved by the same people for years and years, but no matter which space you wind up in, you are only seconds away from the crashing waves.
The second trailer park I've been to is the Las Palmas trailer park. It is just across the street from Guadalajara Grill, right in the heart of the golden zone. Their GPS co-ordinates are 23 degrees 14 minutes 40 seconds north and 106 degrees 27 minutes 04 seconds West. The cost is $270 dollars per month. Particular spaces can be reserved for a minimum of three months, and require a one month deposit. The folks here love to get together and go down to Lario's for dinner and Margaritas. The office is on the third floor of the building overlooking the trailers. Their phone number is 011-52-669-913-5311.
If you're lucky (or unlucky) enough to have a boat, and you are looking for a place to park the thing, there are 3 marinas in Mazatlan that you can choose from. The Pacific Pearl has gone through the trouble of collecting the following information:
