We went for 1 week with my husband and other family members. We loved our stay, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious at the specialty restaurants; we tried the Argentinian and the Italian, our room was clean and we had fun at the adults only pool. All in all, our stay was very would highly recommend staying at El Cid Castilla Mazatlán. Thanks to all for making our stay a beautiful experience.
Staff and room service was always helpful and did a great job in cleaning the room. Had a great view to the pool and ocean. Would definitely recommend El Cid and consider going back.
Always a great time when we stay here. Staff is always accommodating and excellent to deal with. They’ll go above and beyond to make sure your stay is amazing.

Room was clean basic room no mini fridge which was a disappointment a large balcony with great ocean views. All inclusive plan does not include everything and is confusing your only choice for breakfast and lunch is the buffet and it is not good. Dinner choices were better

Rooms were clean but dated, A/C barely kept room cool! Pool view with no view of ocean. Pool chairs always reserved with no one in them for many hours. No access to beach chairs either. Staff were amazing and friendly.
Staff here are so friendly and service was great. Fabian took time to talk to us in the mornings, he was welcoming and kind. Mario at the Italian restaurant was funny and kind, and provided great service as well. Everyone did a great job, and work so hard. The accommodations are clean and the building is also clean throughout.
We had a small issue with our room that came up mid way through our trip, but we were moved right away and there were no other problems.
Thanks for a great stay.
The staff stood out. They were amazing, starting with check in. We had a slight problem with our booking and Candy was very courteous with helping resolve the issue. She is definitely an asset to this resort.

With the elite package, food was amazing and plentiful. Easy to book Al a carte restaurants. Had some issues with one of the housekeepers, but it was rectified with one phone call. The other housekeeper was amazing.
Resort is a bit rundown but clean.

I like the swimming pool area but the only good restaurant is La concha .
Ideal for families. Food was excellent considering an all inclusive resort, alcohol drinks could be better. I didn't like the resort fee and no free internet.
