Las Flores Beach Resort

I have traveled to many different locations in Mexico for the past twenty years; this was my first trip to Mazatlan. The topography is quite beautiful. Las Flores offers stunning views of the Pacific ocean, the beach is clean and the sunsets are breath taking. I rented a Ocean view studio for the week. The decor was very basic and outdated. Satellite tv was very fuzzy with poor size and picture quality. If you need internet access, be prepared to go down to the lobby, and even there it is slow and often times disconnects; keep in mind if you are on the 11th floor this is quite problematic with only one elevator working properly. Beds and pillows are horribly uncomfortable. Be prepared to spend $8.00 for a margarita; the most expensive I have ever paid in twenty years of traveling to Mexico. If you want to pay 5 star prices for great views, this hotel is for you; I on the other hand will not return.

this hotel is right on the beach with stunning views of the beautiful coastline. plenty of eateries in the area. hotel makes terrific pina coladas! close to everthing you need including restaurants and casino.

We have stayed at Las Flores at least 8 times and have always enjoyed our visit. The staff is attentive and personal, seem to want your visit to be perfect. Our room was comfortable and well appointed -- except the two beds were full sized and very very firm. It would be much appreciated to have the option for a king size bed with a comfortable (i.e., SOFTER) mattress. Our shower only delivered lukewarm water for the first two days, but the requests to improve the hot water resulted in an entire 10 days of pleanty of hot water with great water pressure. We were in Mazatlan March 9 to 21, 2011 -- it was really depressing to see the very empty beaches and restaurants. It was so sad to see the beach vendors looking to make a sale to anyone, but there was no one there to sell to... There was also a higher police/military presence and a notable increase in graffiti and closed businesses. It was not the Mazatlan we've visited in the past. Though we did not feel endagnered or threatened in any way, it will be a while before (if) we visit Mazatlan again (and I say that with a heavy heart). For future visitors, the ocean front suite at Las Flores is a great option for families wanting a little privacy for spearation of sleeping and living spaces. We were there when the earthquake hit Japan but found limited access to English speaking news sources via television or radio. A USA Today newspaper was about $4.50 per day-old edition at the local vendor. Plan to bring a lap top or note book computer if you wish to stay in contact with current events or people at home. However, our internet connection was difficult to obtain and less than reliable when finally established. We ended up paying a few dollars for 30 minutes on a land-line computer to complete 'necessary' communications. NOT an ideal location for an internet-dependant working vacation. Wish you all the best on your travels.

Great hotel with a great location on a nice stretch of beach. Good food and prices. The service from front desk, housekeeping, bar and restaurant was excellent. The hotel is older but very well kept up.

Not a pleasant stay, unfriendly staff, charged for an upgrade for standard features that you would normally find in a hotel. Internet did not work very well. The food in the restaurant was bad, better off eating at one of the many local places nearby. The only nice thing about the hotel is its proximity to the beach.

This was a mostly, lie at the beach and relax holiday. This part was fabulous. The room was very dimly lit, and so it was hard to read when it got dark. We have been going there since 1997 and I don't think that they have changed the menu since then! I think that they could change it up a bit. Their happy hour/entertainment section needs some work. They are losing people after happy hour, who then go out to eat. I would suggest happy hour includes some two for one appies to get people eating, plus have the entertainment start during the last half hour of happy hour. People will buy food, enjoy the music and I think that more people would stay in that lounge instead of leaving and going out for the next good deal. We went on a private tour to Capola ---great trip ---a bit pricey, but well worth it.

Las Flores is like a .5 star hotel in the US ratings. The beds are hard, VERY hard, kitchenette cupboard doors don't shut (or match), but they do have ANTS. First room we had, the sliding door to the tiny balcony didn't lock, the second room, had a door - it did lock, but had a nice gap at the top and bottom. The window was held in tight with a match book. There was an awlful sewer smell that would come up through the drain in the morning. And the elevators were very slow. When it would finally arrive, you generally went up before you went down, stopping at each floor along the way. The employees weren't all that friendly, but travelers there were super! It is a great location, and nice beach - but the hotel is not the greatests. Would not stay again unless huge improvements have been made.

Las Flores is a wonderful hotel, i have gone to Mazatlan 10x's and have stayed here everytime.The people are so accommodating, they will help you with everything you need. Be sure to stop at Pacific jewelry and Jewel Emporium, they have the BEST deals on jewelry. the rooms are very nice, you aren't in them much, the beach is beautiful and Hot! The wait staff is also excellent and do well with their english.

I've been to MZT each year the past 12 years and have enjoyed many of our visits there. I've stayed at many of the hotels in the gold zone and find Las Flores to be the best value of all. The location is great for all I love to do there, everything within steps of the hotel. This combined with the friendly staff make this hotel one of my favorites for the rate they charge.

Great place to stay, the waiters were the best, and [...]on the beach made everybody's day, Got to buy a hat or sunglasses from him.
