Mazatlán Simple wedding in Maz....Know of a planner/coordinator?
Posted: Tue January 2, 2007 10:50 PM UTC
Hi there,

We are getting married in Maz in May 2006. We already have our reservations at a timeshare at Costa De Oro where we've stayed many times. We have approximately 30 friends/family members coming down with us. We are looking for a wedding planner/coordinator if anybody knows one? Or any other ideas on where/how to have a very simple, casual, beach wedding. Most things I find so far online are wedding packages where you have to be staying at that particular resort. There is very little actual information as to wedding packages etc. and we have gotten little to no response online from several hotel planners. I saw one person's wedding album online where they got married at a casual beachside restaurant that we love 'Chilis Pepper" and that would work for us also, but no idea how to go about planning it.....We are open to ANY ideas. Names or numbers we could contact of planners? Hellllp! :)

Thanks in advance!

Mazatlán Is there a boat from Mazatlan to Cabo San Lucas??
Posted: Thu December 28, 2006 08:46 PM UTC
Is there only a ferry that goes to La Paz? What is the best way to get from Mazatlan to Cabo San Lucas? I want to visit both places but don't want to take a plane from Mazatlan to Cabo. How long does this trip take and how much does the trip cost?

Hello, I will be in MZT in Jan and have always wondered if someone would let me on their shrimp boat for a day or evening. I would love to see them in action. I could help sort, rig, anything.

Mazatlán LOOKING FOR OTHERS!
Posted: Fri December 8, 2006 05:13 AM UTC
Girlfriend and I are looking for other couples to hang out with. We will be arriving on December 23rd and will be leaving the 7th of January. We will be staying at the Cid Beach hotel. We love drinking and are a blast to hang out with. We seem to have much more fun with others than just hanging by ourselves. Well email us if this sounds fun! Not looking for something freaky just new friends!

Mazatlán Off-the-beaten-path Accommodations and activities?
Posted: Mon December 4, 2006 06:34 PM UTC
Hi!
My boyfriend and I are coming to Mazatlan in January. We want part of the trip to be relaxing on the beach and snorkling and part seeing "real" Mexico.

We'd rather stay in a less-touristy area--perhaps outside of Mazatlan? Are there any accommodations that might be more isolated with hut-style rooms rather than high-rise mega-resort style? Any small towns nearby that might be better for us?

What off-the-beaten-path day trips can you recommend?

Thanks!

Mazatlán Mazatlan Sept. 1, 2006 thru Sept. 3, 2006
Posted: Thu July 20, 2006 11:13 PM UTC
I plan on visiting Mazatlan for these 3 days.
How is the weather down here at this time?
I booked our stay at the emerald bay resort, hoping to pop the big question to my girl. I didn't realize it was so humid down there and then i heard its rainy that time of the year.
Anyone local here that can give me an idea of what i should expect while down there?
I checked the weather for the past 10 years during this time. Always seems like it rains a little at night and then says overcast and cloudy during the day.
Is it still beautiful down there with the overcast?
Is it really HOT? I'm from southern Cal so this is the weather i'm use to.
any help what to expect would greatly be appreciated.
thanks.

Would please someone that lives in Mazatlan, be so kind, and advise me where to find a nice little place to rent for 5 months [November-April] like one bedroom apartment. It must be bright, very clean, if possible with the view of the sea, therefore, close to a calm beach also not to far from el Mercado [with fresh vegetables and fruits].But the price must be not more then $550.00USD/monthly?
Please email me at: MJ77@SAFe-mail.net.

Mazatlán small hotel with kitchenette?
Posted: Thu March 23, 2006 09:47 PM UTC
Hi, we are 3 couples looking for either a 3 bedroom 3 bath villa/condo or a small hotel on the beach which has kitchenettes. We usually go to PV but want to try Mazatlan for January 2007. Does anyone have any suggestions? We like to be able to make our own coffee in the morning and sometimes breakfast or lunch. also don't like having to scramble for beach or pool chairs in the larger resorts. I have tried looking in VRBO, Great Rentals, etc. but haven't been able to find what we are looking for.

Mazatlán Recommend a resort??
Posted: Mon February 6, 2006 12:36 AM UTC
My husband and I are middle age yet enjoy an active and very busy lifestyle. We are looking for a beachfront, all inclusive resort on Mexico's west coast (away from the summer threat of hurricanes!) that seems to be popular with North American tourists. I'm sorry if this sounds prejudiced, but we have been to so many popularly named resort-chains that attract couples and families from Europe, and unfortunately, the European guests are loud, rude, and generally in everyone's face. Breezes in Curacao was exactly the kind of place we enjoyed - guests were from the States and Canada. So, if anyone can offer ideas of AI resorts, we'd sure like to hear them. Thanks.

I really just want to know if we should plan on swimming in the ocean very much, what the weather is like, and is the ocean pretty cold, but bearable, or decently warm? thanks a lot!

Mazatlán Bullfights - tix in advance for Christmas?
Posted: Mon November 21, 2005 04:32 PM UTC
Hello.

This forum has been very helpful so far. Now that I have decided not to finish my scuba certification (I appreciate the thoughtful responses), I'm researching activities for the rest of our time in Maz.

My friend and I would like to watch a bullfight. I realize they kill the bull - but it's still something we want to experience. We want to go on Christmas Day (since we'll be in Maz from Dec. 22 - 27). Should we order tix in advance? Is there a way to do that? We've asked our hotel a couple times but they have not replied. We are staying at Hotel Playa.

Thanks!

Mazatlán Fishing in December
Posted: Thu October 13, 2005 08:47 PM UTC
Hi there! My first time on this site and my first time to Mazatlan in Dec, 2005. Staying at Costa De Oro from 17th, and Sea Palace from 24th. Question: It was always my husband's dream to do deep-sea fishing for some 'big ones' but it never seem to fit into our budget. This is a surprise Christmas gift to him - does anyone have recommendations as to where to go, who to use, what to ask for? Keep in mind we are novices, have no equipment, and me and my sister will want to go along (spectators!), no kids. Price is important, but also the 'guarantee' that he will actually catch something. We are in units with kitchens, so it will be nice if we could eat some of what he catches. Please help!! And any comments re our resorts we stay at will also be appreciated. THANKS!

Mazatlán Need info on package deals, condos..
Posted: Mon June 27, 2005 08:29 PM UTC
My husband and I are planning to visit Mazatlan in Feb or Mar 2006, and are looking for info on either reasonably priced package deals from Los Angeles, or info on cheap airfares(LAX) and beachfront condo/apartment rentals in the Golden Zone or down towards the old part of town.

Can anyone tell me what the temperatures are like in Feb and March? Is Feb warm enough for shorts, t-shirts, swimming, etc? Any info would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.
