Varali Grand Hotel
Staff was great throughout hotel. There was a safe in the closet and also coffee maker on the desk, however there was not a refrigerator. Our room had a balcony with chairs and a nice view of the lagoon.

Hotel Playa Mazatlan
Clean rooms, staff was exceptionally nice & courteous, food was good. My only complaint would be the mariachi bands that compete on the beach in front of the resort everyday. Very loud & annoying.
