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!
Was looking for a nice culture look place to stay in el centro. This place was amazing. Love the architecture, the greenery, the views and the pool. 100 percent recommended. Would definitely come back.
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 Our suite was nice, basic, but lacked a bit of sunlight and the bathroom was small and outdated.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.

We booked this property because we knew people there and they said it was really nice. We were greeted by a wonderful woman Marta but she spoke no English at all. They put us in a room beside the jacuzzi, there were no towels, no face cloths, no toilet paper, and the room was not as projected on Expedia. There was one pot a microwave a fridge and hot plate. There wasn’t even a coffee maker. We were very disappointed with what we received for the price we paid!! If the owner had been there at all we would have expressed our disappointment but they were not present at all in the three nights we were there. Thank God for some of the winter residences that lived there, they helped us to get some basics!

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.
The friendliness and helpfulness of Martha and Faby made my stay very enjoyable. Great location also.

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
No tenía agua caliente en la regadera y nunca nos dieron la contraseña de internet en la mañana no había quien nos recibiera las llaves de la habitación
The apartment was pretty good with the kitchen. The microwave was a little difficult to get to and operate being on top of the fridge. I think some paper towels would have been good along with a couple dish cloths. Maybe some tall plastic cups would be good. In the bathroom, toilet paper didn't have a holder and probably some wash cloths and hand towels would be good.
El hospedaje fue de maravilla, sugerencia personal, tener acceso al servicio del cliente no cumplió las expectativas, no tuvimos limpieza del los cuartos ningún día.
Sé disfrutó mucho lo demas de la propiedad!

Amazing Mazatlan
Our stay was amazing. Loved that it was near stores, the beach, and fun places.
The Villa Serena is a quaint property in old historic Mazatlan. When you arrive you get a feel of old country living with the courtyard and all the beautiful tiles.
There are several restaurants in the area so finding a decent meal was easy, although we were there for the eclipse and the town was overwhelmed with tourists, so finding a meal wasn't as easy as it would have been normally. It is also conveniently located so that virtually everything in the central district is walkable. We walked to the basilica, the observatory, down the Malecon and elsewhere. Rarely did we need a taxi and it was usually because we were simply too tired after walking all day.
The downsides? Well we had to go up two flights of stairs and climb through a bougainvillea forest to get to our room. Every time I came or went, I was attacked by this thorny hedge. Another factor is that since these are 'apartments' they only clean or replace towels and linens on request. Not a downside, pre se, just be aware this is not your typical hotel.
It is certainly quiet and you can leave your windows open if you wish.
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.

Felt like home
Very much felt like home, very friendly hardworking staff. Extremely flexible with check in and check out. Great location.
Literally time travelled to historical Mexico.
No wonder folks stay for weeks and months.
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.

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.
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.
