My Weekend at Mazatlan

Review of Gaviana Resort
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 29 Apr 2020
The area is great to stay, and this resort has a little bit of everything you can enjoy during your vacations, is just a great Family place! Pool is always nice and the buffet is really good, my only side opinion is to move the rocks near the beds.
Date of stay: November 2019

This is a recently upgraded hotel purchased from a national chain.The grounds are well maintained and its location near to the malecon and several restaurants is excellent. Check in was easy with a friendly bellhop and 3 elevators

Enjoyed the beautiful pool and location right at the beach. Lots of seating at the pool. Room nice and clean. Good food at Joe's Oyster bar - Ceviche and shrimp tacos. Room was nice and cool (food a.c.) and quiet.

We booked a weekend stay at the Ramada resort in Mazatlán. Upon arrival we found out that the resort was taken over by Gaviana. The reception area was appropriately staffed and we checked in without incident. Upon arrival in our room....the room was out dated and the bed although soft it lacked support. I woke up with a sore back each morning. The lighting was less than desirable. The bathroom was small.
There are local bands that play on the beach until the wee hours of the morning. I thought they were playing in the next room. The beach and pool ares are nice and the wait staff will keep the drinks coming if you want. We only had lunch there. The portions were good and the tuna crèche was delicious. Over all a 3 out of 5 stars. The bedding needs to be replaced and the noise was too much for us.

Location location a great beach front hotel, lots to do on the beach and in the water. Nice rooms and a great spot in the golden zone, close to everything. If you want to stay off the beach the pool is great!

Room tip: I get a pool view, but that’s my preference.

We booked this hotel looking forward to a ten day beach front rest. This was anything but!!
Joes “oyster bar” ‘HA!,!’ a night club with no walls right underneath the hotel with no walls, we moved rooms three times and still no sleep for ten days. This went on until 3/4am EVERY NIGHT!!
Local music from the many bars across the street blared from the other side of the hotel so didn’t matter where your room was there was just NOISE NOISE NOISE !!!
Beachfront tranquility HAHAHAHA! I think the hotel could do a better job of protecting its guests from the relentless preying of beach vendors (some of which didn’t look exactly sober and were definitely dodgy) selling sunglasses,hats,bracelets,day trips, chewing gum, cigars, basically stuff we neither wanted or needed Not to mention the battle of the bands and the relentless hour after hour of bands with trombones, trumpets, drums playing the same songs at a blaring and deafening decibel drowning out the sound of the waves.
The cleanliness of the hotel left a great deal to be desired. Countless times we noticed empty beer bottles and cans left for long periods. These would be disguarded at the pool, in the flower beds, in the hallways room service dishes left outside generally didn’t get removed for over a day.
Elevators were somewhat worriesome my husband got stuck in one and it didn’t come as a suprise as they only worked occasionally.
If you value your sleep and peace DO NOT go to this hotel
