Royal Villas Resort in Mazatlan

in Mazatlan, Mexico Hotels on 04/08/08

For our 3 days in Mazatlan, we stayed at the Royal Villas Resort.  We really enjoyed our stay here.  The resort itself was upscale, very comfortable and we had a great time with one small exception that will possibly keep us from staying there again.  We had an accidental charge of $600 USD on our debit card- a charge that was apparently intended to be a “hold” rather than a charge and the only solution offered was, “we’ll deposit the money back into your account in about 1 to 3 months.”  So that sucked.

The lobby alone is worth a visit- a wide platform stairwell is surrounded by Koi ponds and impressive rock formations leading to the pool.  There’s a comfortable cocktail lounge here and a game section with everything from pool to foos ball.

The room was beautiful- large, very nicely decorated with comfortable beds and a full kitchen.  We also had a jacuzzi tub which worked for a little while and although they offered to send someone to fix it, they never showed.  Oh well, we got to enjoy it once 😉   We had a great balcony which was spacey but not really private- A few ladies next door were caught spying on my fiance after he was out of the shower and became our frequent fans!

The pool was beautiful, located on a patio above the beach.  There was a fun slide off a rock formation but it was not turned on for the full duration of the pool hours so we unfortunately never had the chance to try it.  The pool opened at 9 AM and closed at 9 PM-  the slide was on from 11 AM to just after 6 PM- quite disappointing.

The staff was very friendly and helpful.  Service for poolside cocktails were fast once we started a tab.   Valet parking cost us around $3 USD a day and was well worth it.  They were fast getting our car and always helpful as far as providing information and directions.

    Thank you very much for the information and for creating a attractive site. I have been seeking honest info on travel tips and will put this information to use. I have found it difficult to locate reliable recommendations, as there are tons of web sites with junk articles. Definitely keep the good information flowing!
