Luna Palace

Our 4th visit to Lina Palace. We enjoyed the setice and laid back crowd. Our room faced the ocean and the weather was perfect.

The hotel is relatively new and well-located, but the rooms require some improvement. Upon arrival, there was a moldy odor, the amenities could be enhanced. For instance, the breakfast menu at the hotel restaurant was repetitive, and we eventually discovered we could dine at the Oceano Palace. Knowing this beforehand, I might have chosen a different hotel. Furthermore, the advertised activities were only available at a different location. Why offer reservations at one location, yet require guests to travel elsewhere for meals and activities? In my opinion, the housekeeping staff could benefit from additional training—I have experience in the hospitality industry myself. The bathroom mirror remained unclean throughout our stay, despite multiple housekeeping visits. The amenities were lacking; for example, while coffee makers were provided, coffee was not. Guests must purchase coffee downstairs or by calling room service. I will likely stay at the Oceano Palace next time.

A lot of the stay was good. Front desk staff was amazing, the entertainment guy was amazing and the bartending staff was amazing. The issue with this resort was the security staff, particularly the heavy set security guard with the penguin walk. The entire time he was on his shifts, he would hover around our extended family (3 families) and watch everything like a hawk. If my wife's parents who live in Maz came to visit, he would be there in an instant to escort them off the premises even though they weren't using the facilities. They would be coming to link up with their 3 daughters families to go out and experience Maz. He also watched our shuttle leave on the last day and then as soon as it left made sure to escort them off the property. He also got very upset and my niece who accidentally took her wrist band off because she is a child. He had to escort her to the front counter at an instant making her feel uncomfortable. I will be returning to Maz to visit my family but will not be staying at the Luna Palace or any Palace hotels because of this. What should have been a relaxing week was hampered by the security guard who wouldnt leave our family to enjoy the hotel pool.

Great view to the beach.

We have stayed at the Luna Palace numerous times the past years on an annual family vacation. This year, we definitely seen improvement with happier staff and an amazing breakfast on site included in our daily rate. Our view was incredible as per usual. Only major hiccup, is our room had mild luke warm water only the entire stay. When bringing to their attention, as Gold Members, they offered a couple other rooms to try: the water temperature was no improvement when testing. It would be a positive direction for Luna to look into improving to a “On Demand “ or new hot water system in the facility. Another strange policy we have found is the Luna charges 60 pesos when leaving if you don’t do the dishes. Yet, we leave a daily Tip for the maids, could this not be part of the task routine? Interesting there is no dish soap, dish towel to wash dishes so wonder how the cleanliness of the complete kitchen supplies are…. Is everyone just washing with cold water? This is what we had to do. If this policy could be revisited that would be a stronger push for guests to stay at the facility ….. after all, the rates have exceeded the last years staying at this location.

5 stars

The lady who cleaned my room Noemi was the best. If I’d change one thing they need a real restaurant and bar. It seemed it was always a buffet

We stay here every year - great place, a few small details would make this place outstanding. For example dish cloths and soap to do your dishes. Salt and pepper. Coffee filter. The people are great and the location is quiet!

We come to Mazatlan every year with a group of friends. There is a choice of three different rooms, we book the one bedroom suite. They all have a good size fridge, microwave and two burner stove if you want to cook some meals. Staff are friendly and the front desk team speaks good English. Nice pool and beach. Great access to the rest of Mazatlan by pulmoñia or bus.

The location is perfect, the heated pool and beach are great & all the staff are great!
