Mazatlán Swaps Flip Flops for Feathers as Carnival Beckons
Mazatlán's post-holiday lull awaits Carnival's glittering embrace. Hotels catch breath, fish count aquarium memories, and the Mayor cleans up security booths. Garbage woes hum a discordant tune, while Carnival's Baroque Eclipse theme paints the streets with anticipation.
Mazatlán, the Pearl of the Pacific, is catching its breath after a whirlwind holiday season. Sun-kissed bodies have faded to their winter tans, suitcases unpacked, and memories of sandcastles and margaritas tucked away for colder days. But fear not, for the rhythm of this vibrant city doesn't skip a beat, just a shuffle step or two, as it prepares for its next grand waltz: Carnival!
Like a schoolyard playground after recess, our hotels currently echo with a hushed 55-60% occupancy. The backpack-toting brigade has returned to textbooks and classrooms, leaving behind an air of bittersweet serenity. Mark your calendars for January 18th — 20th, when winter whispers back and Carnival explodes in a riot of sequins, feathers, and samba beats. Expect occupancy rates to sashay towards a 70%, and keep those piña coladas frosty until Easter's grand finale.
