Guest Comments: “El Rancho stands apart”

We were very impressed and enchanted by the foliage as we drove by "El Rancho"- seeing it from the street as we entered town and we decided to stop. We learned that it is a "green" resort and is very committed to providing and maintaining the atmosphere of the area's original native plants and trees. In a town that is over-run with too-tall hotels and resorts without character, "El Rancho" stands apart. We were also very impressed upon arrival with the shape of each unit as it allows for much privacy for everyone staying. They are designed truly with the care of the vacationer-- not with putting as many rooms as possible on the plot- what a rarity! The pool was lovely, as well as the spa which is shrouded in trees and flowers.

Every unit is two storied with comfortable beds, lovely tiled bathrooms, kitchens, huge sun-drenched windows, comfortable couches and chairs--- very truly thoughtful amenities. The price is incredibly affordable considering how much you receive, and amazingly cheap in comparison to all the big hotels and garbage that fills the rest of the city. It is truly unique and a very special gem.

"El Rancho" is also located on a small stretch of beach outside of the huge stretch that most of Mazatlan occupies-- meaning more privacy on the beach and less traffic. So much better I can tell you!!!!

We fell in love with the restaurant maitre-d Jose Escobar, he was wonderful and uniquely passionate about the special place that is "El Rancho". Also, everyone we encountered from the lovely ladies that booked our bungalow to the bartenders and workers detailing the garden really contributed to our enjoyment.
