Mazatlán is the Most Underrated City in Mexico!!

[@alysmalls]

If you need ideas about where to stay in Mazatlan, I put together a quick guide on best hotels & neighborhoods: likewhereyouregoing.com/best-places-to-stay-in-mazatlan-mexico/

[@viperfx2940]

I'm from Italy and Mexico is my favorite country love the people, culture, food and amazing weather. and also Mexico feels like a European country because of their architecture and beautiful colors

My parents retire april 2025 to Mazatlan they cant wait, great place great food

[@lilymeowington9395]

I’ve been to Mazatlan 12 times (my 13th is this march) and every year I love watching videos of others trips to mazatlan, just to see if anyone discovered anything I haven’t done or restaurant so haven’t ate at! It’s so much fun and I LOVE it!

[@gissellearambula6277]

Great video, Aly. Thank you for sharing this video. I’m from Chicago, and my family and I have been driving all the way to Mazatlán for the past 3 years (we will go next year again), and we have never been in a situation where we felt unsafe (even 16 years ago we had no issues when we went for the first time). I keep going back to Mazatlán because it doesn’t compare to other popular destinations in Mexico. Mazatlán is unique for its people, music, ambience, gastronomy, and beautiful sunsets. I highly encourage other Americans to visit Mazatlán; you will not regret it.

[@alysmalls]

Beautifully put! I have a feeling we will be back very soon!!

[@no_soy_rubio]

I'm here now, visiting from the UK. Love this city!

[@chingsanbuenaventura6816]

I was in Mazatlan with my girlfriends last November on a cruise. I wish I could’ve experience that place the way you do. When the ship docks, we can only see very little but nevertheless, we had a great time. Mazatlan is a beautiful place. Good food, good people and we didn’t feel nervous at all. Thanks for sharing your amazing experience of Mazatlan.

Mazatlan is wonderful!! The people make the place.

[@filymg1788]

Hi there,I was raised in mazatlán but I live in Los Angeles,CA. I love your smile and I'm glad you like my hometown. I'm planning to go back to Mazatlán in July and I'm hoping to have a great time. I'm proud to be from Mazatlán. Saludos de parte de un mazatleco.

[@missmayflower]

I’ve been twice and it’s so much fun. Day of the Dead was fantastic and they have one of the biggest Mardi Gras célébrations in the world.

[@thee_calamity]

I love Mazatlán. I went there for the first time in 2023. I had a blast. I highly recommend it. We did the all-inclusive resort. And we also got to explore around the city using the pulmonia taxis.

[@oscarvo9459]

I’m from mazatlan and a world traveler, and I don’t want to leave my mazatlan!!

[@luikzv]

I love Mazatlan, it's my favorite city. As a Mexican, I confirm this, you're right. Mazatlan is the most underrated city/beach in Mexico. Largest malecon in the world Delicious food, seafood and typical food. Nice waves 🌊 and nice/beautiful beaches. Cost of living is affordable. Nice hotels and beautiful sunrise/sunset Beautiful architecture. The unique beach city with a historical center/colonial. Beautiful towns close to the city. The transportation is affordable. Close to the cold mountains and cabins. And of course, kind people.

[@liveourbest2067]

How far out of the city do you need to get to experience a more authentic area not full of gringo retires like myself lol

[@lilwavesz]

i just booked two months in the area where the divers are!!! for jan and feb. and i just got back from st tropez and nice in the french riviera which i fell in looove with. so your comparison to it just made my day! thank you for this video

[@chrishugo]

Olas "Atlas?" Wow. It's Olas ALTAS as in "high waves." Makes more sense now, huh. I learned that in 1959 when I first visited on a family road trip from Spokane, WA, a distance of 2,500 miles and no interstates. I was 11. We now live two blocks from the opera house in a 3,000 sf home we bought in 2016 and occupied the next year with retirement. I'm sharing your video with Seattle friends who are planning a first visit this fall. Good job.

[@garlandetheridge9902]

I'm also 2 blocks from the plaza. Can't wait to return. Love Maz!!

[@francoisbouchard9488]

Hey Aly, this was a real opener for me. My favorite destination so far in Mexico has been Puerto Vallarta, but I've often wondered about other Pacific destinations like Cabo and Mazatlan. Cabo seems to be a bit too commercial for my taste, but Mazatlan looks perfect! Thanks!

[@cmnweb]

Another awoseme place in the pacific is Ixtapa Zihuatanejo 😎

[@sabinoluevano7447]

Cabo is not worth it, it's not walkable at all. Mazatlan is very walkable.

[@robsmazatlanvacations]

Mazatlan is amazing. It has amazing history and incredible Center HISTORICO. I traveled to a variety of Mexican beach cities and Mazatlan hits all the sweet spots.

[@PattyEstrada-w2w]

Love Mazatlan. Need to go to El Quelite it’s not far from Mazatlan.

[@neilg3333]

I was stuck here during the first months of the pandemic. Besides dry law and closed beaches, it was a lovely place to be stranded!

[@mrfoo12emily]

This was amazing, thank you so much for inspiring me to give Mazatlan a try!

[@chadrud]

I went to the Riu Emerald Bay my first time ever in Mexico and I loved every minute of that resort even though it was like the north end of town

[@gabrielsandoval4994]

Looks like a beautiful place to go and get away from the cold northern weather.

[@jbnavarrete]

Loved your review of the city of Mazatlan. One of the best I’ve seen. I travel to Mazatlan every year and it’s a fantastic hidden gem.

[@lisadanner2319]

Thanks Ally for making this video. We just arrived yesterday and have made a list of all of your recommendations. We are staying at the Courtyard Marriott for 3 nights then we go to Centro for 5 nights at an air bnb that is charming, similar to where you stayed at.

[@alysmalls]

Enjoy!!

[@VeronicaandPeter]

Amazing video! I felt the vibe of the city which is rare through video. Thank you!

[@blinkies2012]

Good video, I have a guest house in San Pancho near Puerto Vallarta. Re-inspired to visit Mazatlán again!

[@goretiteixeira3700]

Great video really want to see more of Mazatlan I love PV its my favorite in Mexico so far but watching your video Mazatlan I think I would enjoy going there.

[@alysmalls]

Glad you enjoyed! More Mazatlan videos on the way ☺

[@RVOutlawz]

Just stumbled across your video and well done 👍 We moved here a little over a year now and love it after Gypsy RV life in states. All the best and thank you for shining a bright light on Mazatlan.

[@Travel-Costa-Rica]

Thanks for this informative video. We are going there next week. Very excited to see what Mazatlán offers

[@t-pk8qh]

Looking forward to more Mazatlan videos. Looking to possibly relocate there one day. One of few cities on my list.

[@midlifetravelbug]

Thanks for the great information, we are headed there tomorrow! Cheers Chris and Jim

How was your trip to Mazatlan?

[@monicaz.o.7079]

I oved your honest review of Mazatlan, I am a Mazatleca now living in Spokane, Wa. And I like to promote the beauties of my city with the people I know. I miss my Mazatlan, although I try to visit it every year. Thank you for this beautiful❤❤❤

[@Walker983]

I used to live on Icebox Hill ( Cerra de la Neveria ) and I've got stories I could tell like walking home early one Sunday AM on Angel Flores and when I came to Bellisario Dominguez there was this Jeep Wrangler coming towards the intersection - - Without a Driver ! I ran, jumped in, and hit the brakes just in time to soften the impact on the curb of the Bank building . . . the owner was up at the Pizzeria . . . (1990) 😺😺😺

[@MrBornfisher]

Great video. First time I went there was 1967. Last time was in November on the Blues Cruise.

Yay 👏👏 thank you for this video. I've been to Mazatlan many years ago and I always loved it. I love the unique taxis. They are so much fun. My hubby and I are planning to go to Mexico next Christmas and we're thinking of going to PV, but your video has me thinking that Mazatlan will be a great affordable option since it will be high season. But still would love to go to PV too.

[@GLoz-oh9yk]

"Pulmonía" is Mazatlán's popular taxi name.

Well I hope you’re paying taxes and contributing to the country of Mexico and I also hope that you respect the people and it’s culture. Mexico doesn’t need more gentrification.
