Artistic Oasis in Historic Center
Beautiful, folkloric design- unique decor and excellent location. There are two plunge pools for soaking in various courtyards. It was quiet and the staff graciously put up with our terrible Spanish!
It was absolutely amazing. We only stayed for 5 days but easily could have stayed months. The propertg is so unique and beautiful, so clean and in perfect location.

Great location! Right in historic Mazatlan with walking to the beach less than 10 mins. Tons of restaurants and shops nearby. This is an excellent place for a quiet retreat. The caretaker was so sweet and helpful. There is a small kitchen for food prep and so many patio areas to enjoy. It was a magical location.

Location and staff. Why as a Canadian did U.S money for payment come up? I’m in Mexico I pay in pesos. Used credit card and had to pay a 5% charge. Next time, I’ll pay directly with Expedia. No extra charges

The place is located right in the middle of the old town, a few blocks from the best restaurants in town.
Very few guest early May, so we enjoyed the pool in the beautiful courtyard by ourselves. Our suite was nice, basic, but lacked a bit of sunlight and the bathroom was small and outdated. We had a tour of the facility, some suites are very spacious. The staff was very kind and pleasant.
We were told it's packed in the winter and in the summer, which would make a very different experience.

My wife and I have stayed here a few times. And we absolutely love it. The staff are so nice and helpful. It’s like a family when you are there with the other guest and the staff and everybody’s so friendly and talking there so many options for restaurants for shopping. It’s a beautiful neighborhood it’s very safe the bed was so comfortable, the shower had strong pressure and very hot water. Everything you need to make meals were there, we most definitely will be staying there.

Nice stay
Fantastic staff, welcoming and helpful, A+!
Location is perfect, central yet quiet.
The apartments are basic, well maintained. Comfortable matress.
Little privacy due to the closeness of each unit and you can hear your neighbours.
Its a haven for old gringos, you wont meet Mexicans like in hotels of the golden zone.
Lovely rooftop patios.

Despite the poor reviews about communication with managers, we actually got into our place right at 3:00. It might have been a challenge if we hadn’t been right there waiting.
It was a quaint and comfortable place, that seemed to have an interesting history. Very close to main plaza. Kitchen had the basics. It would have been nice to have 5 gallons of filtered water available and at least one kitchen towel. Overall a comfortable stay.
It was kind of hard to get in contact with the property management (owner).

We liked the room….. the bed was wonderful. We didn’t like having no hot water, no housekeeping while we were there. We felt like we had been forgotten about. The garbages were never emptied, the towels were never refreshed… we asked for hand towels or facecloths …… didn’t get either. Would not stay there again

To whom it may concern, both my wife and myself thoroughly enjoyed our recent (brief) stay at Villa Serena,
from the old world Vibe of the Centro Historico, to the ease of accessibility for all the local amenaties, ie: restaurants, shopping, local culture, access to bus transportation etc.
And our hosts Marthe and Daisy were always accomodating no matter the request.
We also enjoyed meeting and socializing with the other long term guests each evening to share knowledge and updates of local activities and or places to eat.
Not sure when...but we will definitely be going back.
