Relaxing and quiet. This is the best El Cid property in Mazatlan if you want a quiet and relaxing vacation. We paid for the all inclusive package. Food was very good. The only thing we found annoying is you had to wait to sign your bill at the end of every meal even though it was already paid for.

We were met at the airport by fun El Cid staff providing taxi, some tour discounts, a few other discounts, and a breakfast invitation. The breakfast invitation turned out to be an appealing review by a very nice woman of the properties, followed by a request for 120,000 USD on the spot for membership. We explained we would never do that without a comprehensive deep dive into what we were buying. Should have ended there but followed by an extreme and confrontational hard sell by a condescending manager. Last straw—snarky ethics remark. When we cut that off, manager #3 appeared and we left pronto. Unfortunately, that set the mood for the remaining stay. Recommendation: ignore non-prearranged hotel transportations. We ate one meal there and were disappointed. Shrimp dish arrived cold. We sent it back to be nuked and it returned slightly less cold. We came for the eclipse and did a great deal of touring of Old Town and Durango. There are terrific surrounding restaurants, guided tours (BTW the concierge at Ed Cid was excellent), and Old Town is fabulous. Regarding the room: Inadequate lighting and all bulbs were 6500 K fluorescents. So,unromantic 1980s vintage night ambience. Cute with daylight, admittedly. Coffee in room was extra, internet $10 daily per device and too slow to be practical. Also very loud, intrusive, and mood dampening music affecting all units from 6:00 to about 10:00 Friday through Monday. Had high expectations, but last El Cid stay for us.

There are 3 nightclubs/after hours clubs near El CID Marina-which means they open late on the weekends and stay open late. If you are in building D or any other buildings closer to the ocean you will hear the nightclubs on the weekend. That is a given. Bring earplugs. The cleaning staff were lovely and friendly-their hours for cleaning the room were super random so be forewarned. We were often gone for the day and would come back in the late afternoon to find the cleaning staff either still in our room or the room had not been started yet. The front end staff (bellboys and front desk staff) in the entrance area were not friendly at all. Out of the two weeks we stayed there we were greeted upon our return to the resort exactly once. Out of probably 3 to 5 outings per day for 14 days. If you have not opted in to the all inclusive you will probably have at least one server tell you that you need to pay cash for either a meal or a drink at one of the bar areas. This place is cashless-set up a credit with the front desk and don’t hand over any cash. The resort is apparently the nicest of the El CID resorts but is in need of updating/refurbishment. It is also a very long way from the Malecon and Centro so if that is the area you are interested in you will either be spending money on Uber and taxis or taking some extremely long walks.

Beautiful, clean and safe with wonderful staff and great amenities. Beautiful pools. You have a choice of the more shallow, warm pool for activities and kids and a deeper quiet unheated pool. The gym was so nice with great variety of equipment. Grounds were immaculate, rooms clean and well appointed. Every room has a fabulous view with great balconies with comfortable furniture to hang out and enjoy the view. Lobby was open and beautifully furnished. Every staff member we had interaction with was so friendly and responsive to our needs. Wish there was were more price conscience food options, like pre made sandwiches or salads. The local market is only good for booze, Doritos and water. No tortilla chips, salsa, eggs, creamer, milk, butter, etc. The staff is really unfriendly as well. Got there one morning right at 9 when it was supposed to open. The door was still locked and the man inside just looked at me and shook his head "no". I looked at my watch which indicated it was 9, but they made no effort to let me in. They never once smiled, said thank you and never seemed to really care if i spent my money there or not. The other shops by the marina had friendly staff, nice options (if a bit expensive).

Overall the place was good. 9 out of 10 service workers were friendly and kind, area is well maintained including landscaping and room. Food is not good, they also serve the same food everyday. They do not have real Mexican food. I would compare their food to USA Taco Bell which is not authentic at all but only to get people full. We had all inclusive during our stay but wasn’t able to make reservations for dinner, this is probably because they would rather reserve those who pay cash before those who paid for all inclusive. Might be one of the ways to make extra money. Our resort room was at the end which means we needed to catch a golf cart every time. When purchasing on Expedia room shows nice balcony but our room did not have one. Had to pay for room service even though we had all inclusive, close can beers were also not including and needed to pay. You do have access to others CID hotels but we did not have a change to experience them however this one suppose to be the best one out of the other 2-3. One small pool had a heater but the bigger one did not, water was super freezing. This is the pool with the slide which was part of the reason why we book this resort for the family. During our stay did not see anyone swimming in the pool with the slide. Been to many resorts in the past but I personally would not stay on this one again.
