Mazatlán Beach Resort Day Pass: Pool, Beach & Lunch

Five hours at an oceanfront resort without leaving the cruise port schedule behind.

A beach day pass at the Courtyard by Marriott Mazatlán in the Golden Zone gives cruise passengers round-trip transportation from the terminal, full access to oceanfront pools and the beach, one meal from the menu, and two drinks. The five-hour window fits inside a typical port call, and pickup and return are timed to the ship's schedule.

The experience

Cruise passengers stepping off at Mazatlán can skip the hunt for a beach club and head straight to the Courtyard by Marriott in the Golden Zone. A driver meets you at the cruise terminal and takes you directly to the resort, which sits oceanfront with the Pacific in front and the city's main tourist strip at your back. Once there, you have full run of the resort's pools, loungers, towels and beach access for the afternoon.

Your meal comes from a menu of five options (fish tacos, beef or chicken fajita tacos, nachos with beef, or chicken nuggets), and you choose two different drinks from the beverage menu. If you want more flexibility with drinks, the open bar option swaps the two-drink limit for three hours of unlimited beverages. The resort handles the logistics. You show up, change into your suit and settle in. A driver returns you to the terminal in time to reboard.

The five-hour window is the constraint that makes this work: it is long enough to swim, eat and rest without cutting into your ship's departure. Families traveling with infants can bring a stroller or request a specialized seat for the ride. The resort is built for this traffic, so the day pass holders move through without the friction of a public beach or a restaurant that was not expecting you.
