We didn’t use the parking since we didn’t have a vehicle.
I don’t think there is a swim up bar. I never noticed or used a swim up bar there.

The room was very spacious and clean. The ocean view was amazing.

The staff are friendly but it would be nice if the cleaning staff understood some English but we seemed to manage

This was our second year at this resort and would go back again

Firstly I would like to say that the staff and cleanliness of the hotel were above reproach. Special shout out to Luis and Erik, who went above and beyond. Sadly this is all that can be said that was good about this resort. I did my research, read the reviews and picked this resort for a few reasons. Firstly, Expedia states 3 restaurants. This is not the case. There was one restaurant outside of buffet that was spread between 3 resorts. This restaurant did the a la carte on most days but was closed Monday and Tuesday of our stay. First night we did the A la cart I was very ill all night. Buffet was over run with pigeons. They walked all over the \"clean tables\" and utensils and were frequently shooed out of the kitchen and food area. Second reason I picked this resort as swim up bar, and pools. The swim up bar was closed and we were told hasn't been open in years. The main pool was in horrible shape, loose tiles etc. the second pool has a big sign that says adult only area but was overrun with kids. Security refused to do anything about this. bar at this pool was frequently closed. It wasn't until half way through our vacation that the pool in the adjacent Star Palace was opened. this pool was small but at least the bar was open. the last few nights of our stay, the hotel allowed people to party and blare music past 3 am. it was so bad that people were throwing things off the balconies at the partiers to try to get them to be quiet. Overall I would not recommend this resort.

I do not recommend unless you’re on a budget. I waited 45 minus in the hot humid lobby for my room to be ready. Check-in was crowded and a big mess. There’s only one pool and not nearly enough pool chairs. There’s not enough seating in general. There’s only two bars and there was always a long line. Worst, you had to carry around a hotel cup in order to get drinks. If you didn’t have it, they wouldn’t serve you. There was not enough access to drinking water unless you waited in the bar line or brought down the bottles from your room. The buffet was pretty much the same everyday. It was not appetizing. Some of the items seemed like frozen food meals, and they always ran out of soft drinks and ice. No one wants to drink warm water especially in a room with no air-conditioner. Always a line at the elevators. I will say that the staff was nice, especially Fidel our bartender. He was so patient. My room was great. It was spacious and looked modern. However, the rest of my family slept in outdated humid rooms even though they paid the same as I did. The beach is beautiful, so visit Mazatlán but stay somewhere else.

I don’t write reviews. And this is my first all inclusive, but I was with my sister who is more than well travelled and had just arrived from Asia. If possible, pay the extra money and stay at Riu. I stayed here because I met my family from Mexico and this was more in their price range. Umm not cheap btw. $1400 3 nights. Sub par food, bare minimum on everything. They act like I’m gonna steal their towels or cups. They give you a 10 oz reusable cup in your room that you take down and have to keep reusing all days for the drinks. Gross. Everyone buys thermos on the beach for like $12. Stupid. You have to reserve seating on beach at 7am or your SOL. Bring a pop up cabana if possible. Only one pool. EVERYONE is there. My sis says beach should have water refill stations, and more shaded cabanas. Same with pool. Our room was humid, bathroom is clean, but looks dingy. We did get ocean view as promised but just keep track of receipts. My Expedia app says I paid a deposit when I reserved. Both Expedia and hotel said I didn’t when I arrived to hotel. I checked my cc transactions and have many Expedia transactions for my 3 week trip all over Mexico. I’m weary I got conned out of $450. My sister had a room on 7th floor. No humidity, way better look, toilet paper folded in origami. She paid same price per person. I won’t be going back. I’d tell my family to save a little more next time, or let’s visit a beautiful small town like I’d rather do.

It’s in a great location, you can get anywhere from here, via walking, buses taxis. The rooms are very clean but very basic, so if you don’t need much then it’s perfect. The food could be better, it was ok. Lots of other options outside of hotel. The gym is really nice, good equipment. The biggest downfall for me was, there were way to many kids!! They were everywhere!!! So I more than likely won’t stay there again because it’s to family friendly for me.

Pros: Friendly, helpful staff, a lot don't speak much english but they make do or find someone else who can help.
Affordability, location and gorgeous ocean view.
Access to the 4 different hotels was somewhat helpful but we mostly just used the amenities at oceano and park.

Cons: The room was not cleaned well the first day the bottom sheet only covered half the bed and there were hairs all over the sheets. Some days we were given face towels and other days not so very inconsistent.
The food was mediocre, the buffet was better than most of the restaurants on site. The mexican option was the best dinner we had.
Amenities were okay but it was slow in January and on the day the weather was the coldest none of the pools or the hot tub were heated...

It is outdated but it is easy to get on a bus and get into town for the day, the ocean view is well worth the extra cost.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Oceano Palace and would definitely stay there again, either as all inclusive or otherwise. The staff members were more than helpful at all times and we were sorry to leave. Our room was clean and comfortable, the food was certainly ample and diversified enough for anyone to be happy about the choices they were given. We would recommend this to anyone wishing an all-inclusive in Mazatlan. Our room was on the third floor, in the Pacific Palace section of the hotel, overlooking the ocean and it was very quiet there.
