We have been traveling to resorts in Hawaii for years. We were surprised to find that we enjoyed Mazatlan and Paraiso even more. The Paraiso Costa Bonita I resort is absolutely top notch. The facilities are great and the staff is even better. The Penthouse is breathtaking.... practically beyond words. Mazatlan is amazing with so much to do with the Old Town and market, the aquarium, fishing and water sports, and more. The restaurants were all excellent and the value unsurpassed. We loved it so much we bought a condo!

We chose your Penthouse because close friends had recommended it. I saw the pictures before visiting and thought that it can't really be that nice. The truth is that it is even better than the photos. We have already booked our next trip.

Our first time at Paraiso so exceeded our expectations that we were stunned. The peace and beauty of the views, the pool, the light, the sound of the ocean, were so immediate that we felt somehow right at home. As an artist, I spent every spare minute drawing, taking photos, and making notes about the lovely air, smells of the sea, and light glinting from the water. Besides the sensory joy, the beauty of the penthouse was truly spectacular. In addition, the" down to earth" friendly reception of everyone we encountered, the truly excellent food, and the ease of getting around made our vacation so memorable that we truly cannot wait to return.

Paraiso and your place are amazing. We had two families come together with eight of us in total. It was really great how we had plenty of space so it never felt crowded. The adults loved spending time on the deck enjoying the views, chatting down at the Palapa bar, or lounging by the pool. When the kids are happy.... the adults are happy! And the kids loved it. They spent most of their time in the pool or on the beach. We also did parasailing, horseback riding, and went out on wave runners. We were going to do zip lining but ran out of time. That will have to wait for next year! Thanks for sharing your home. We can't wait to return.

We stayed in the Penthouse at Paraiso for 2 weeks this past year. It was truly incredible. I have never been in a nicer resort or condo. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer! Jaime, Daniella, Jesus, and the rest of the staff were all so nice. We ate most of our breakfast and lunch meals by the pool. The food was excellent and so reasonably priced.

We came down to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary! I wanted the week to be special so I did lots of checking around. I had several calls with Gary to understand if it would be OK for my dad who has limited mobility. I also wanted to make sure that we would all feel comfortable and that there would be sufficient activities for the "kids".... we are all in our forties! It all turned out great. My parents began to cry with joy when we first entered the Penthouse as it was so stunning! Mom and dad could not have been happier and our visit could not have been more memorable.

Stunningly beautiful! That is your first impression and it includes views in 3 directions as you enter the penthouse. The impression grows (and stays) as you wander to the far end of the cathedral corridor to your master suite and its royal bath - truly your own personal spa! All your guests are equally pampered in their own suites and the common areas are exquisitely appointed and more than comfortable. The kitchen, bar and patio BBQ are an entertainer's dream but make it difficult to get your guests out to restaurants! When you do, you'll discover that it’s easy by bus, taxi or pulmonia to get to some of the finest restaurants Mexico has to offer. There are also plenty of reasons to stay put. The onsite restaurant serves delicious and reasonable fare and there are other options within walking distance. A new shopping area nearby makes it easy to stock the kitchen and the shrimp vendor walks along the beach daily. We had various family and friends - ranging in age from 15 to 98 - visit for a total of 3 weeks. All thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Highlights included bottom fishing, parasailing, zip lining, beach walking and swimming in the ocean and the pools. It is comfortable in the evening to enter the warm pool at night from indoor where it’s protected from cool night air and then swim to the outside to pop up and stargaze before heading to the hot tub. All of the staff were welcoming, helpful and able to accommodate every request and the rental manager(s) were available 24/7 to answer any questions. I'm afraid to say more because I'll find this perfect place already booked next time!

The penthouse was a dream come true. Pictures don't do it justice. Stayed with husband, mother, mother's girlfriend, daughter and her girlfriend. Plenty of space to have quiet time. Staff is accommodating and hardly any challenges. Took time to get hot water, and no gas for grill. However, we would bring concern to Claudia and she'd address. Renee at front desk helpful. I hired a driver/ guide for mom and friend for five days through Renee, and it was huge success. Drivers name is Humberto and highly recommend him. Also had cabana. Total hit for daughter and friend to be right on the beach. Lovely location, grounds were well-maintained, and very safe.

Truly is the best place to be at Mazatlán. the views are great. sure I will come back next year.

We arrived in Mazatlan on the same day hurricane Sandra blew through. Our place was ready for us inside. The next day Claudia came over and arranged the decks, including cleaning all the windows, and arranging the outside furniture. The views from this very spacious condo are magnificent. We had a few issues that were quickly dealt with by Claudia and Gary, the owner. This condo has everything you could imagine and then some. We had four generations of our family staying at the condo. There was something for everyone. The Parisio 1, where the condo is located is superb. Super clean and well manicured. Eduardo at the front gate, Allen at reception, Jamie and staff at the Palapa were outstanding. Everyone in the complex were very helpful and made us feel like family. The security staff were always around making us feel welcome and safe. The food, beverage and service at the Palapa was excellent. There is no shortage of fine and casual dining, at reasonable prices, in Mazatlan! We had a fantastic time in beautiful Mazatlan. We will be back and will stay at the Penthouse again, if it is available. Karen, Martin and Family
