I have been coming here for 23 years starting as a guest of my parents. My wife and I bought 3 years ago at a VIP level and trust me there has been buyers remorse! BUT, every time we come with or with out our 3 kids we realize how much we truly LOVE Mazatlan and the El Cid Resort. The people here are fantastic and do literally EVERYTHING that they can to make your stay as pleasant as it can be. We were at El Cid in September / October 2011 for 10 days with our children and the property was not at its best. I am sitting in my room as I write this and am happy to say that this place impress' me! The updated pool tiles are smooth and comfortable on the feet, the wifi throughout the entire property is great, the property shows they have invested in its aesthetics and the best part, the servers, staff and sales people DO NOT CHANGE. I see the same people here every time we come and we are always greeted with a handshake or hug. Thank you El Cid Resort Management for showing us what our maintenance fees are going to as I know times are tight not only in the Domestic US but here too and to see you keeping the Resort in top shape is a kudos to you all! Only thing that I wish has nothing to do with El Cid! Too bad so many airlines are not flying here as much to make it easier to get to Mazatlan! The travel advisory's are BOGUS, just don't go and do stupid things and you wont find yourself in jeopardy. We go to the Market, and walk all over and town and never have any issues!!! Come and see for yourself I bet you will feel the same!

I have been coming here for 5 years and I will have to say this is the best vacation a person could ask for the area is very safe the locals are so nice and the resort staff is the best. I have traveled all over and mazatlan is the only place I will come back to. They bend over backwards for you.Rui and Susanna are great people they make sure you are we'll taken care of. I will rate this as a 5 star resort. The food is the best ever and they use top shelf for there drinks as well. This is a AAA+ resort

Pool area..........Beautiful! Swim through the cave and under the waterfall. Caution......Don't leave food unattended as the rather large Iguanas will take them quickly!

We had a pent house 3 Bedroom Suite and it was stunning with wrap around balcony on two sides over looking the pool. Nicholas Cage was staying on the top floor above me at the time so there was a bit of security in the area at the time. But this did not effect us at all.

The bar areas were beautiful and the bartenders and staff were fantastic. Walking distance to the town.
Make sure that you ask for the El Moro Tower when booking. It is the best.

A couple of weeks ago i was fortunate enough to stay at El Moro and had a great time. I went with a party of 20 and the accommodation for all of us was great. The rooms were big and clean. Pool area was awesome, along with the beach as well. I especially loved the service, this hotel and staff did everything possible to make are stay the best and smooth as possible. I definitely recommend this hotel for everyone, whether you come with your family or friends. And i will definitely come back to stay here when I come to Mazatlan.
