We just spent two weeks at El Cid Castilla and had a safe, wonderful vacation. We spent our days beside the pool which is heated and has a swim up bar. The water was wonderfully warm, and in the mornings was partly shaded. There were plenty of lounge chairs available at both pools but we found that the Castilla pool... More

We only stayed 1 week, next time will be longer. Excellent service, extremely friendly staff in all areas of the hotel. They really know how to spoil a person. From the moment we woke up till bed time we were made to feel very special. We especially appreciated "Angel" the waiter at "La Conchita snack bar". He is extremely friendly... More

My husband and I just returned from Mazatlan (Feb 2-9), where we stayed at El Cid Castilla. Although we had 3 cloudy days, we still had a great vacation. From the check in to the check out, we have no complaints about the hotel or the area. The room was super clean, a safe is included, the beds were comfortable... More

There were 7 of us that went on this trip and we had a wonderful time. We went from Jan 5th -12th. I had heard from some reviews that they weren't allowed to use the sister hotels pools and restaurants but we didn't have that problem at all and we were NOT upgraded to the elite package. My older boys... More

I am shocked by the positive reviews of this place. I can only assume they must be paid. My experience was SO different than any represented here. First, the check in and the check out are time-consuming experiences. The line lasts forever, and they feel no need to add extra staff to help out the situation. Finally, after a half... More
