Jet Set LatAM · Hotel Review
On Mazatlán’s Olas Altas seafront, where the old town meets the Pacific, Casa Lucila is the boutique hotel that made the historic center fashionable again. It’s small and personal, with a rooftop pool facing the ocean and the cobbled streets of the Centro Histórico right behind you.
This Casa Lucila Mazatlán review covers the rooms, the rooftop and how to plan your stay.
The rooms
Rooms are individually styled, with ocean or city views, and the best face the Olas Altas waves. Ask for a sea-view room and an upper floor for sunsets from your balcony.
The rooftop and spa
The rooftop pool is the hotel’s showpiece, a calm place for a swim and a drink as the sun drops into the Pacific. The hotel also offers spa treatments and an on-site restaurant.
The location
You’re on the Paseo Olas Altas, where the cliff divers perform, and a short walk from Plazuela Machado’s restaurants and the Teatro Ángela Peralta, all within the historic center.
Good to know
- Arrival. Fly into Mazatlán (MZT) and pre-arrange a transfer.
- Book ahead. The hotel is small; reserve early for Carnaval and holidays.
- Season. November to May is dry and warm.
What to pack
- Cashmere travel wrap: for breezy seafront nights
