About this property

Welcome to Hotel Don Pelayo Pacific Beach

Hotel Don Pelayo Pacific Beach is a laid-back hotel located directly opposite the beach in the Flamingos area of Mazatlán, offering convenient access to the Pacific Ocean promenade and close proximity to local attractions such as Laguna del Camarón and the Mazatlán Aquarium. Its setting is suitable for visitors who want to enjoy the seaside while remaining within easy reach of the city’s highlights, including the historic Catedral de Mazatlán, just a few kilometers away.

The hotel features a modest range of facilities including an outdoor pool, a restaurant, and a bar, complemented by amenities like free Wi-Fi, free parking, air conditioning, and room service. Reviews highlight the friendly and accommodating staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and a family-friendly atmosphere with features appreciated by children such as a playground. However, guests should note the pool is small and hotel services are straightforward rather than luxurious.

Guests have praised the excellent location with ocean and boardwalk views, though some mention occasional street noise. On-site dining receives mixed reviews; while some find the restaurant satisfactory with good service, others suggest exploring nearby dining options. The hotel does not offer airport shuttle services, but it is located approximately 44 minutes by car from Mazatlán International Airport.

The property is smoke-free and accessible, making it a practical choice for travelers looking for affordable beachfront accommodation with basic amenities rather than high-end luxury. Its position close to popular local points of interest like the Malecón de Mazatlán and Plaza Machado offers opportunities for sightseeing and leisure on foot or via nearby bicycle rental services.

The hotel was great! We went in July of 2024. Great location, beautiful view.The staff was amazing everyone was nice. My kids loved the pool and the playground. Our rooms were nice and clean, and up to date. We were so blessed to find this nice hotel because we didn't even make reservations to go out there. We just walked up and asked if they had rooms available and they did. Thank you guys for a great stay.

You get what you pay for, therefore, I am rating this hotel according the Rates/$$ and the amenities and services it offers. Do NOT book a less-expensive hotel and expect a 5-star amenities. Having said this, the best parts of this hotel is its location. Right by the malecon, close to zona dorada and the old market, and it's easy to catch a cab or the bus. The staff do the best they can. Be nice to them and they're nice to you. Simple. The room we had was on the 600's facing the lagoon. It was clean, newly painted, no frills (not even a coffee machine or a hair blower but no big deal for me.) Food at the restaurant is ok; if you don't like it, go to Zona Dorada. The best part: There were NO MARACHI band playing nearby or on site.

We stayed here for 2 weeks. The staff were super friendly and professional. The rooms were very clean and beds are super comfortable. View is spectacular. It can be a bit loud on the street but ear plugs helped and was perfect when sleeping. This hotel is walking distance to everything. The restaurant was excellent we had many meals and service and quality was superb. We felt very welcome as Gringos and would definitely come back again.

Nice place for a short stay, it’s kind old but functional, the pool is quite small so you’ll keep in mind to go there in the morning if you don’t like crowds, room service is ok, staff is very friendly, this place is ideal for kids as well, food is ok, have no complaints for now. Love the raccoons surrounding the parking lot Tip: Have some cash before check-in. Even if you already booked and payed in Booking, when you arrive you must pay $500 pesos as “down payment” per room. When you leave, that amount will be refund, so don’t lose your invoice paper and ask for your refund before leave.
