 Funnest Pool on the Beach by MonoBichi
The Costa has very neat lobby shops. No little tobacco kiosk here: they have a complete convenience store that sells six packs, groceries and liquor. And instead of the usual tacky gift shop, they have Rubio Jewelers, who show work by Segio Bustamante, Mexico's premier atist in ceramics, bronze, and fine metals. By the way, even locals flock to an across-the-street neighbor, Mazatlan Books and Coffee Company. Get your beach reading, or sell what you brought down. The restaurant, Adobes, is just feet above the sand and waves and gives killer sunset views. Prices are about par for Golden Zone for a very well-prepared selection of seafood, steaks, and Mexican specialties. Try arrachera--tender marianated steak.
For more information, see their WEBSITE.
But what counts is the water, and the Costa has that all over: The pool area is highly cool: a freeform lagoon job with rocks and waterfalls and the whole neverland scene, and a big shallow apron area for smaller kiddos--but big wide enough for actual swimming. Bar close at hand, or course, and a stairway down to the beach for real swimming or walking. Sunsets are pure Mazatlan from the deck, the copper sky filtered through the Three Islands.
The beach also offers enhancement for those who being on a tropical beach with swimming pool is not entertaining enough. They rent parasail rides, kayaks and Hobie Cats to explore the islands offshare, boogie boards, even jetskis if you are the type of obnoxious *** who uses jetskis. If you are seeking nothing more than mindless tanning, wave-hopping, and sand in your toes, the "Gold Coast" definitely fits the bill.

The hotel that we stayed in was called the Casa de Ora.
It had a great view of the ocean, nice and clean hotel rooms, and very friendly staff. The pool was great to! Theme: HotelComparison: less expensive than average

| Costa De Oro: Don't buy a timeshare, browse the net find deals

We have been to Mazatlan 4 times, the first time we stayed at the hotel beside Costa De Oro, but ended up buying a timeshare at Costa De Oro. We thought we had purchased an anytime period, but turns out only May, June, Sep, October and first two weeks of Nov and Dec. We were really disappointed because our exchange student from Mexico always spent July in Mazatlan and that was the reason we purchased the timeshare. So we have made the best of a bad situation and continued to use the time share. It has many good qualities, but I would advise everyone to NOT buy into the timeshare program. Just surf the net and find great deals each year and try something different until you are sure of what you want and are getting.
Love the view, the pool, the on site spa, the location. Smells like the entire stairwells should be scrubbed down with bleach water. The first time we went they tried to give us a very "tired" room and I said I wanted the one we were shown as the model. We were quickly moved. The refrigerators have had to be replaced several times, but the maid service is consistent, honest as is the pool side waiters. It is a joy to see the same wait staff year after year.

It has a very large pool area & a bar located right beside the pool. It appears to be an excellent spot to chose if you want to be where the action is.
