Peaceful Paradise

This is paradise. If you want to relax by day on the deck, at the pool or on the beach or if you are a golfer this is the place. My husband played golf almost everyday and I walked the beaches, read books and just plain relaxed. This unit is in the building closest to the beach so it has beautiful views. Being on the second floor with no one above, we didn’t get any of the noise of moving chairs, walking, etc. from above. It’s only one flight of stairs down to the pool and beach so super simple.
We liked the idea that EDM is ecologically minded with a turtle sanctuary just down the beach 50 yards or so. The food at the golf club restaurant is very good but we rented a car and went to town (about 25 minutes) and bought groceries so did most of our own cooking in the well equipped kitchen or on the charcoal barbeque.
There is not any shopping or night life at EDM, other than the live music a couple days a week at the restaurant. Shoppers, remember to book your shuttle ride and I think the last shuttle returns from town at 7:30 pm. We would recommend a rental car as visiting old town Mazatlan is really neat and there are some great restaurants on the town plazas. Driving is a little different but if you just go steady and watch out for the wild ones you will be fine. Oh remember, the closest gas station to fill up your rental is on the main highway into town so give yourself time to get there and fill up before heading back to the airport. Many gas stations only take cash so keep some handy. If you need help or advice, the Resident Manager, Olga is very nice and David the Property Rental Manager can also help arrange things for you.
I highly recommend this unit as one of the best at Estrella del Mar. We hope to go back soon!
