For people planning to visit Mazatl?n for short- and long-term stays alike, savvy travelers and those looking for a permanent place in the sun have long relied on this unique and personal guidebook... This description may be from another edition of this product.
If you're planning to do anything more than just sit on the beach and eat at your hotel in Mazatlan, this book is a must buy. My wife and I were in Mazatlan five years ago and we're returning in February. I bought this book to prepare for the trip, and I wish we had it the last time we were there because we missed a lot. The book is well written and organized, and the author provides you with enough information about hotels, sights, restaurants, tours, etc., without bogging the reader down with too much detail. It's also plain that the author has a genuine love for native Mazatlan residents, which results in a book that appeals to travelers who appreciate the Mexican culture and want to experience more than the sterotypical "gringo" in Mazatlan. Indeed, there are even sections for persons interested in buying a home and working in Mazatlan. Hopefully I'll see Mr. Hall while I'm there so I can thank him for writing the book.

This book was essential during my travel plannning to Mazatlan. Charles Hall covers every little detail. The only book that I found on Mazatlan only. All others included other beach resorts or the entire Pacific Mexico, etc. A must read if going to Mazatlan.
