The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Diverse Restaurant Options

During my stay, I was impressed by the variety of dining options available at El Cid Castilla. The all-inclusive package allowed us to enjoy a mix of cuisines, from Mexican to Italian and even Argentinian! I particularly loved the shrimp cocktail at La Concha, a must-try dish that became our go-to. Plus, the on-site bakery offered fresh breads and desserts to satiate every craving.

Fun for the Kids

El Cid Castilla was a fantastic place for families! The pool area was perfect for kids, featuring fun activities and a warm atmosphere. My children especially loved the rock they could jump off into the water, and they made plenty of new friends during our stay.

Relaxing Poolside Experience

One of my favorite aspects of the resort was lounging by the pool. The large pool area had music playing throughout the day, creating a vibrant and relaxed atmosphere. I also want to give a shout-out to the entertaining staff who kept things lively and ensured we always had our drinks at hand!

I just got back from a great week at El Cid Castilla in Mazatlán. The view from my pool room was fantastic, overlooking the El Moro pool and the ocean. The atmosphere was generally quiet, especially during the weekdays, but weekends brought in a lot of families, which made things hectic. The food and drinks were plentiful, but the entertainment could use some improvement. Overall, it offers good value for money and is a solid choice for a beach getaway.

Our stay was quite enjoyable! The resort had good food options, with plenty of authentic Mexican dishes and a fantastic sushi restaurant that we loved.

Although the Wi-Fi comes at a cost and the beach was crowded, the overall experience was positive, especially for a family getaway.
