Guest Comments: Why go anywhere else in Mazatlan?

Sue along with her husband came for a vacation with us in December of 2008. They came through a timeshare exchange with Interval International, and she was nice enough to call me back when I asked her to share her comments about their stay with us.

Why go to a huge tower when you can go to El Rancho instead?

Sue's first comment was really striking. There has been a lot of development recently in the area where El Rancho is located, called New Mazatlan, because people have recognized the beauty of the beach there. So El Rancho is now surrounded by tall condominium towers. But Sue's comment was "Why would anyone want to go to a huge tower like those surrounding El Rancho when they could come to El Rancho instead?"

Sue was very impressed by our gardens - "totally beautiful," she said. And she also really appreciated that our villas are single units without a high-rise on top. "It's just totally different not being on the 15th floor." Another aspect of the villas that she liked was the size - she just felt like there was an extravagant amount of room. She also commented that the staff was great and very helpful, and that the food at the restaurant was wonderful as well.

Can I retire at El Rancho?

Sue felt like they had really struck it lucky with their choice of El Rancho. They chose it from the hotels available for exchange through Interval International without knowing anything about the different hotels in Mazatlan. But they saw that El Rancho was not in the Golden Zone and offered peace and quiet, which sounded good to them. El Rancho more than lived up to that, so much that Sue said she really wants to retire in Mazatlan, and not just anywhere in Mazatlan, but she wants to live in El Rancho!

Thank you, Sue, for your incredibly kind comments! And we will make sure that the staff is more attentive to picking up any small pieces of trash that mar the perfection of our gardens!
