The 4 of us traveled for a short AI family vacation. We stayed 4 nights. I didnât realize there was a difference staying at PB MazatlĂĄn and PB Emerald Bay. We stayed at PBM, but enjoyed PBEB more. The thing we really didnât like about PBM were the bands playing on the beach. It was so noisy!! More than one band was playing Banda music on the beach, while the resort was playing music by the pool and guests had their own little speakers. So we honestly spent pool days at PBEB. But, at PBEB the beach wasnât as fun to swim in bc there were definitely less waves. Another thing, the food was good as long as we stayed away from the buffets. Cilantroâs was nice and so was the Asian type cuisine at the other restaurant. I wish the menus would change nightly. The service everywhere was good. At the pool, some servers were better than others, but no one came by often to clear plates and cups from poolside, so that caused more birds to be picking at plates and therefore more poop around the pool chairs and umbrellas. The shuttle two and from both resorts was very useful. But, the earliest you go was about 10:30 am and the soonest you could get the next shuttle was 4pm. So youâre pretty much stuck at one hotel until the next shuttle, unless you take another form of public transportation. The hotel did have a fishing company come by to see if anyone was interested in fishing. We did the deep sea fishing, at $100 per person and had the BEST day!
It was a good trip, but I wonât be back.
