I just got back from a great week at El Cid Castilla in Mazatlan. 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.

We had a great stay at this hotel with its amazing beach and attentive staff. The rooms were clean and spacious, making our experience relaxing. While the dining options had their highs and lows, especially with the a la carte restaurants, we generally found the buffet to have varied choices. One downside was the crowded beach and pool area, where finding a chair was often a challenge. Overall, it was a lovely place, but some improvements could enhance the experience further.

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. The pool area was great for the kids, but we found the beach a bit lacking compared to other spots we've visited. Although the Wi-Fi comes at a cost and the beach was crowded, the overall experience was positive, especially for a family getaway.
