Costa de Oro

  • June 15, 2004
  • Rated 5 of 5 by El Gallo from Monkey Junction, Newfoundland, Afghanistan
Costa de Oro

The Costa de Oro isn't the oldest, newest, or biggest hotel on Sabalo, and it doesn't drip with luxuries and pampering: what it offers is comfort, barefoot beach access, a great pool area . . . and a lower price than its neighbors. Cheaper rooms with two double beds start at about $65 USD a night with air conditioning, cable, balcony and coffee makers...a cut above Holiday Inn and a sort of beach cottage feel. Goes well with the sound of surf you get in every room. The suites run up to around $170 US a night and are everything you could want in a beach retreat. The living room and kitchen are very nice, with access to lawn or balcony and the sleeping areas are ingeniously stepped up almost like lofts, with dividers to allow open feeling or privacy -- the TV swivels from living room to bedroom.

The Costa has very neat lobby shops. No little tobacco kiosk here: they have a complete convenience store that sells six packs, groceries and liquor. And instead of the usual tacky gift shop, they have Rubio Jewelers, who show work by Segio Bustamante, Mexico's premier atist in ceramics, bronze, and fine metals. By the way, even locals flock to an across-the-street neighbor, Mazatlan Book and Coffee Company. Get your beach reading or sell what you brought down. The restaurant, Adobes, is just feet above the sand and waves and gives killer sunset views. Prices are about par for Golden Zone for a very well-prepared selection of seafood, steaks, and Mexican specialties. Try arrachera -- tender marianated steak.

But what counts is the water, and the Costa has that all over: The pool area is highly cool: a freeform lagoon job with rocks and waterfalls and the whole neverland scene, and a big shallow apron area for smaller kiddos -- but wide enough for actual swimming. The bar is close at hand, or course, and a stairway down to the beach for real swimming or walking. Sunsets are pure Mazatlan from the deck, the copper sky filtered through the Three Islands.

The beach also offers enhancement for those who being on a tropical beach with swimming pool is not entertaining enough. They rent parasail rides, kayaks and Hobie Cats to explore the islands offshore, boogie boards, even jet skis if you are the type of obnoxious moron who uses jet skis. If you are seeking nothing more than mindless tanning, wave hopping, and sand in your toes, the "Gold Coast" definitely fits the bill.

Costa De Oro Beach Club

  • March 22, 2004
  • Rated 3 of 5 by B&J from Atkins
We stayed in one-bedroom unit with a roll-out bed in the living area and one bathroom. There were tile floors throughout the unit. The kitchen area had a microwave, small fridge, and enough cooking and eating utensils. We had a balcony with an ocean view. The unit was very tidy and clean. It was nothing extremely fancy, but very comfortable. The only downside was that the air conditioner was not at its best.

The staff was friendly.

Costa De Oro Beach Club

  • Rated 4 of 5 by CambridgeKate from Cambridge, Ontario
We had a huge bedroom with two double beds, a large bathroom with an enormous shower, and a living area that had a fully equipped kitchen and a living room. Off the living room was a balcony overlooking the pool, beyond which was the ocean. Delightful gardens and a great restaurant. We were right in the thick of restaurants and shops.

Costa De Oro Beach Club

  • February 4, 2001
  • Rated 4 of 5 by Ken & Alice from Clearlake, California
Costa De Oro Beach Club

Costa De Oro is located in the Golden Zone. The rooms vary from small/no view to balcony rooms with ocean views. The restaurant with a varied menu, faces the ocean and is partially open-air which lends it a tropical atmosphere.

As the Beach Club is located right on the beach, you can sit at the pool, swim in the ocean, or take advantage of water activities such as boogie boarding, sailing, parasailing, surfing or wave runners, and all with a margarita at your fingertips!

Price per room is estimated as we were timesharing. You can stay at this hotel without timesharing. Information on this hotel can be gotten at their webpage. Just search Costa De Oro Beach Hotel and get great information.

We liked this hotel and we are returning this May. Things the resort could improve are: the organized activities (when we went to a cooking class, they had cancelled it), the travel desk (the agent was very friendly but inefficient), and the hours for the pool (they absolutely won''t let you use it after 10pm!). Our room was small, but if we didn''t have 5 people in it, we probably wouldn''t have noticed! (It did have an awesome view!)

All things considered, this is an excellent place for fun and relaxation!
