i have been to mazatlan just twice, briefly, several years ago, and while it is not my favorite coastal Mexico destination, i would not call it an armpit. <BR>I was not crazy about the newer resort beach area, which is where the big hotels like el cid are located. But i liked the downtown, with churches, theaters, markets, and just everyday life; the lovely residential area on the hill (believe it's icebox hill?); and the older beach area _ maybe called atlas? (sorry my memory is going.) The deepsea fishing was also fun, at least for a non-expert like me. Like anything else, it depends on what you're looking for; if you have more specifics on what you're looking for, someone here could probably help steer you to an appropriate place.
