We're in Mazatlan now - staying at a hotel we always have stayed at previously. We are the only US guests here now, no Canadians either. I spoke with one of the security staff; he said Americans (US & Canadian) don't stay here any longer. The last time we stayed here was 2019 and then the hotel had a large population of Americans. The hotel changed hands since then and the entire staff we knew from past visits have been replaced. Changes are mixed... rates are higher, nights are quieter, no more pot smoke drifting by our balcony.
The hotel seems busy, full of nationals but it's hard to tell which are staying over night and which are just here for the day. I assume the hotel is busy since we had to change to a more expensive room to stay tonight (Saturday).
Since we were last here dozens of hotels/condos went up and I still can count about 9 cranes along the malecon. There are very few US or Canadians in town unless there's a cruise ship in port - which there are 7 cruise ships due to stop here in May ... not many compared to years past.
We were going to check out Tres Amigos RV park but I'm not so sure we'll continue RVing in Mexico or the US. Life has changed so much from what it was when we started RVing.
