outdoor Jacuzzis, and a gourmet restaurant add to the charm. Shuttle service

lation and exclusivity, this is the place for you.

The Inn at Mazatlán: My personal favorite because I have been a timeshare

owner since 1985, and have never regretted it. This timeshare also rents rooms.
Located in the Golden Zone, just south of the El Cid Mega resort, The Inn
recently added a tower, and a second, larger swimming pool. The owner is
from Salt Lake City, Utah, and until recently, has been an owner in residence.
Its main selling point is that most employees have been there for years, and the
service is simply the best. The beautiful Teresa Inglis-McFarland handles time-
share resales, and she is most helpful whenever a guest has a problem. The
popular Papagayo Restaurant is located on the grounds and has an excellent
breakfast buffet. Double occupancy rates run from $120-$180 U.S. You can
telephone them at 913-4151.

The Inn has a qualified activities' director, who supervises activities for the

young and young at heart. There is a fantastic gift shop in the lobby.

Pueblo Bonito Mazatlán: This complex is among the most beautiful in

Mazatlán. The suites have colorful Mexican décor, and gorgeous tile kitchens. A
good-size beach and large swimming pool, surrounded by palapas and umbrel-
las accommodate the most discerning sun worshiper. Breakfast in the open-air
café, and dinner at Angelos, one of the best Italian restaurants in Mazatlán,
makes the trip more appealing. Double occupancy rates are approximately $158
U.S. for junior suites and $193 U.S. for a one-bedroom suite in November, and
$182 U.S. for junior suites and $215 U.S. for a one-bedroom suite in April.
