“Had an excellent 1 week stay in April”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2013

This was our first trip to Mazatlan. We stayed for a week in April with close family in 2 tower rooms. We had never stayed at an El Cid resort before, and we were drawn to this resort partly because of the El Cid Foundation and its philosophy of helping its employees better themselves. That is very creditable. We found... More

Stayed at the El Cid from March 29 to April 5. We had 2 adjoining rooms on the 15 floor tower facing the ocean and a nice view of the two pools. Well worth it. Check in was fast and efficient. There is a charge for wi fi. I think it was approximately $35 for the week for one device... More

“Maybe not for everyone, but a great time!”

WARNING - long review! We stayed 4 nights in late April with this being our 3rd all-inclusive (others were in Cancun and Cabo). We got an awesome deal on "Cheap Caribbean" and figured we'd give Mazatlan a try! We booked an ocean view room and asked to be on a higher floor and low and behold, we had a great... More

“Excellent Service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2013

This is a great resort, it definitely is dated now and needs a serious overhaul. They have been renovating to update the pool area. It has a nice atmosphere, it's close to the strip (5 min car journey) has plenty of shops outside, a great family resort feel. The rooms are dated but clean and the price isn't too high... More

“Incredible”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2013

This resort is amazing. We had an ocean view room, overlooking the pool. The room was smaller and not as fancy as anticipated, but when you're at a resort in Mexico, you don't want to spend a lot of time in your room. The staff are amazing, particularly Ricardo who was our server for breakfast and lunch, as well as... More

I could not have chose a better vacation, the hotel may be a bit dated, but the waterfalls, the pools and all the flowing water make up for everything lacking.
