Can you tell me if the Playa Maria Beach Hotel is still open? We have been trying to contact the hotel regarding our reservations for Dec 20-Jan 3 with no success. I hope we aren't heading for a place only to find that it is no longer in existance. Thanks for any info. you might be able to provide. Debra
I am traveling to Mazatlán via Cruise ship in January 09 with my husband and two daughters ages 13 and 8. We are not the conventional family and we are looking for something to do at each port that will not only give us a memory but a hand of help to others. Our family enjoys giving back and we are wondering if anyone knows about safe and serious ways to give. The girls enjoy meeting local kids and spending time with children who are orphaned. We enjoy helping at schools and comunity centers with after school programs. If anyone has any information for us we would love to know. As we travel we enjoy the beauty but we are aware that behind the FUN there are real families and live less fortunate. I can be emailed at thestorybegins@hotmail.com
We have been going to Mazatlán for 30 years. I can't remeber when I discovered your website. I give it to everyone. We drive down once a year after tax season. A week is never enough.
Hi I have the same Davis weather station as you and I had the simular problem you have with the barometer. I sent off to Davis and got a replacement unit along with an envelope to return the old one. The cost was Minimal. Great job on the site. I do the work on our weather site sonrisanet.org. Geary
Nadine & Henry: My fiance and I will be visiting Mazatlán for the first time from August 25th through September 4th. We are staying at the Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay and are looking forward to a great trip. THANK YOU so very much for such an informative and DEEP site. Your maps, coupons, phone numbers, etc. are great and I'm sure will help us out in our travels. First time in Mexico for both of us. Humid? Thunderstorms? Bring it. Peace, Matt & Sarah
Greetings! My husband and I are traveling to Mazatlán for the first time at the ending of July. We are very excited as we are going to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary. I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful site to review & to help us perpare. I know you have lots of information already on the site that both my husband & I have researched, but I would love to hear more if you would like to share. We are going to be vacationing at the El Cid resorts. Anything especially close by that we should definitely do? I LOVE getting a tan on the beach, but my husband is ADHD and prefers to be active. Any suggestions???? Thanks again for your wonderful website!

My husband and I have been to mexico many times. Never have I found such a well rounded over all view of a city.I am thrilled to be reading this before our up coming trip in August. We have never been to Mazatlán, and I am surprising my husband for his 50th Birthday.I have a question or two if I may. We our looking for leather goods, boots,hats,vests, etc. Looking not for the kind of leather in the states,but the kind we found in matamoras which is right over the border in brownsville. Is it possible to find some here. We were in puerto vallarta and were very disapointed buy what we found they were like the harley shops up here and fairly pricey.The other question is freshly caught fish for lunch or dinner where would we go, and can you get good lobster, but priced reasonable. Great job on the information again given in this article. I need look no further you have fully answered all my questions. The city sould be thanking you, you have done them a great service!!!!! Thank you Toni P.S. as I get closer to the time to leave I hope if I have anymore questions I could return for your advise.

I got tons of information for my visit to Mazatlán in two weeks (first time). And had a lot of fun while reading it. Me and my husband are mexican and we couldn't agree more on the dangers at the beach (souvenir vendors and timeshare salesmen) my husband had a great laugh so we decided to tell you that we think you are oficially mexican. Thanks for this wonderful site and hopefully we'll say hi on the beach. If you're walking my kids will look for your doggies.
Hello Henry I am wanting to invest again in Mazatlán, however I was taken by Isla Mazatlán. What is the real deal on buying in Mazatlán. How do we know we will not get taken again.
My wife and I were planning on having extensive dentistry work done by Dr. Mackey at the Mexican Dental Vacation office, but now he has health problems and has returned to the states. There office manager has recommended Dr. Antonio Gutierrez who comes highly recommended by Canadian and U.S. residents living in Mazatlán and he has his own office there. Have you heard of him? We hope to have an appointment with him on Feb. 21, 2008. We would appreciate any info or feedback you may have on him. Thank you.
This is the best Mazatlán site I've seen. Thanks for taking such good care care of us tourists. I now know just what I want to do while in Mazatlán and won't waste my time and money wondering where to go and what to eat. I have a couple of questions perhaps someone can answer. Is the restaurant information up to date? Also, I would like to load the coordinates of some locations into my gps unit. The maps indicate the raw data is available. How do I get it? Thanks.
Great Site! Thank you both for all of your time, work and interest in helping others. You may have forgotten to mention one thing - SINGLE LIFE - for those considering retirement to Mazatlán. I saw no reference to that issue. As a long standing Mexico lover and traveler, I have finally decided to make the leap and move down permanently. Chosing the right area is the final issue.... Have always loved your area, mainly due to the fantastic billfishing. What is your advice to single ( age early 50's) financially secure women making the move, aside from the competition of the beautiful spanish women...lol. Any info would be appreciated as I have only traveled to Mexico with a now non existing male partner. Thanks once again, Jane

Nadine and Henry I really enjoy your website. I view it often, and use you tips and coupons! We have been coming to Maz for almost 10 years with some friends. Unfortunately we purchased a unit at Marina Del Rey years ago. Do you know who we could contact regarding some problems we are having with the terms of our contract and the management there? Since we are usually unable to book ur unit (even with a floating time) we have been staying at the Playa Mazatlán the last few times. Do you have other places that you recommend? Our friends require that we stay on the beach in the Golden Zone. Any suggestions? Thanks for your invaluable info! Stacy
