SECOND YEAR! Hotel Playa Mazatlán

            You know the saying about “You’re not getting older, you’re getting better?” Well, that seems to be the case with the Hotel Playa Mazatlán, our 2010 Mazzie winner for Best Hotel. (And 2009 winner, too!) The Playa, as it’s called, was the very first hotel, built in 1952, in what’s now the Gold Zone. That’s more than half a century of fine service, with thousands of satisfied, happy guests returning year after year with family and friends to enjoy the fine service, beautiful oceanfront rooms, fabulous surf and sand, gorgeous sunsets and so much more that the Playa has to offer. Even if you’re not a guest, you can check out the monthly Mexican Fiesta, a one-of-a-kind event with traditional live music, dancing and food, or the beachfront restaurant and bar. Hey, why not? All those visitors can’t be wrong! -JB
