Review of Mazatlan’s $59 Stone Island beach club with food, drinks, water sports, horse rides, transport, tips, and honest drawbacks.

We started with a fresh herbal tea & got to know more about our host. We loved how passionate Émilie was about her garden. We even got to pick our salad for lunch & learnt about all of the different varieties of legumes. Émilie really treated us to a big spread at lunch, after we walked in her field to meet her horses.
