This was my first trip out of the country in over 30 years. Friends talked me into going to the El Cid in Mazatlan. Upon arrival at the airport, I was advised to "not even look at" the people that were offering timeshares. I was nervous about this trip, and quite anxious as well. Upon checkin, which was pleasant and... More

We have been to Mazatlan the previous 3 years. Every year we think about going elsewhere and trying the El Cid in Cancun or Cozumel but end up coming back to Mazatlan. The service is always great in the restaurants, lounge, beach service and the pool bar (thanks Francisco Renteria). We had a bit of an issue but the staff... More
