Resort Hotel in Mazatlan Gold Zone for day?

[baymenow]

We are cruising to Mazatlan in November on Princess and would like to spend the day at a nice resort hotel on the beach in the Gold Zone. Any recommendations?

The golden zone is named after the many jewelry stores there. Most all Mazatlan beach front resorts greet pool using cruisers with open arms, including the ones adjacent to the golden zone. Best to go few mile farther north to the El Cid, which is the preferred cruiser resort spot, so preferred that you will see many of your fellow passengers there. El Cid is giant and the beach has all the amenities and rent able beach toy options. Golden Zone resorts would be a bit quieter, if that's what you are looking for

Great info! Thanks! We will probably go to one in the Gold Zone where it is quieter. Thanks a lot.
