We travel Mexico very often. This is right up there with the finest properties we've stayed at. We know that you get certain amount of excellence when you choose RIU, but this one really stands out. Super friendly staff, the food was much better than most all-inclusive resorts and the facilities, for the most part, were in excellent condition. Mazatlan is such a beautiful city. We'll come back to Mazatlan and when we do, we'll most likely come back to the RIU Emerald Bay.

I am leaving this review to help others because I know that is how I choose my hotels. Pros for resort food it was pretty good and I am a picky eater, drinks were great, the resort itself is so clean and the staff are very friendly. We went into the Golden Zone a few times (four young females) and we felt completely safe. Taxis were easy to get. The beach is so pretty, the pools were great, the room was also clean Cons - disappointed in the “reservation” Asian restaurant the food was not that great there and it is hard to get a reservation you have to be up at 7 am and down at the front desk to make it. The lighting in the room is a little dark and the beds slightly hard. I give this resort 4 stars as the pros definitely outweigh the cons and I would go back! Also, we went for a girls trip but there was a variety of ages and we often felt like the youngest ones besides the kids. It seems like a great family friendly resort with the bonus of a few adult only pools.

No complaints about anything, but for those traveling with small kids, note that none of the pools aside from the kiddie pool have a depth of less than 4 feet. This was a bummer for our 6 year old, who was too big for the splash pad but not big enough to touch in any of the other pools.

The room was nice. The electrical was hit and miss at best. The outlet for the coffee maker didn’t always work so no in room coffee. House keeping didn’t daily restock the coffee or refrigerator. So basically bottled water was at request only. All in all an adequate vacation.

Wonderful staff, beautiful property. As it was an all inclusive resort, it’s expected that the food wouldn’t be over the top in the buffets, but the 3 restaurants were nearly impossible to get into.
