Mazatlan Lodging Option #3 – Mazatlan Bed & Breakfasts
This is the third post in a series about the different options for lodging in Mazatlan. For the overview of the different types of options, see the page Mazatlan Lodging.
We're exploring the different options for lodging in Mazatlan, and the topic for discussion today is bed & breakfasts in Mazatlan. B&B's are a very attractive option for many people. Let's look at some reasons why.
Advantages of B&B's
A bed and breakfast inn is a great option for lodging in Mazatlan for those who want a unique character for their accommodations, and who enjoy the personal service that the host of the B&B can provide. And of course, the breakfast that is included is also a nice touch!
Each bed & breakfast has it's own unique character, formed by taste and character of the host/owner, and also by the house that it's located in. Most of the bed and breakfasts in Mazatlan are in homes that have quite a history, where families might have lived for generations, and that sense of history is often reflected in the architecture and decoration of the home. This can make your stay much more interesting than being in a generic hotel room.
Also, because of their small size, B&B's are able to provide a very personal level of service, giving guidance and insight and advice about how to enjoy and explore the beautiful city of Mazatlan. There's nothing like having a local expert available to answer all your questions over breakfast!
Location of Mazatlan B+B's
If you like the idea of staying in a bed and breakfast inn, you'll probably end up staying in the downtown area of Mazatlan. This is ideal for those who prefer a quiet atmosphere, and who enjoy exploring the history and culture of Mazatlan. Obviously, it's not the ideal for people who want to spend a lot of time on the beach. There are also bed & breakfasts along the Malecon, and in the area of the Golden Zone, which each have their own advantages.
Staying in a bed and breakfast can make for a delightful vacation! As you're considering options, however, be sure that you talk with the host/hostess and are comfortable with them, because their character will greatly affect your vacation. Also, be aware that though most of the B&B's in Mazatlan are close to the beach, and some even have beautiful oceanfront views, none of them are directly on the beach. So, for example, you won't have your own section of beach with a palapa so you can lie on the beach in the shade. Instead, to enjoy the water and the sand between your toes, you'll have to at least cross a busy street, or maybe walk a few blocks.
