Mazatlan has plenty of hotels ranging from very basic rooms to deluxe resorts. The majority are located in the Zona Dorada and along the coast north of downtown. Condos and timeshares are also available for rent. The latest tourist zone, Nuevo Mazatlan, is on the northern fringe of the city, and so far has only one resort hotel, the Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay. For sanitation and comfort and to minimize hassles, stay away from hotels at the bottom end of the scale and make certain that even costly properties are well located for your needs. Bed-and-breakfast facilities also are available near the Zona Dorada and in the Centro Historico.
