The Zona Dorada is the hub of all-inclusive hotels in Mazatlán. Stretching along Avenida Camarón Sábalo, this hotel zone provides direct access to the best beaches. Resorts here enjoy prime locations near Witches' Beach and Punta Camarón Beach. Packed with restaurants, bars and shops, it makes for easy escapes from the resort.
The Cerritos area to the north features newer, more spacious all-inclusive resorts, often with integrated golf courses. Calmer and family-friendly, it's perfect for those seeking peace and quiet. The El Cid Marina waterfront offers top options with private marinas and extensive water activities.
Access and amenities
All these areas are easily reachable from Mazatlán International Airport, roughly 30 minutes by car. Resorts typically provide free shuttles. The Malecón, one of the world's longest seafront promenades, is accessible from most hotel zones and connects to the historic centre.
