On Our Radar: The El Cid Family of Resorts in Mexico

Share the love

A resort vacation, while enjoyable in most cases, can sometimes feel impersonal. A high volume of guests and numerous staff can translate to a lack of personal touch afforded to more boutique properties. But El Cid Resorts is one hotel group in Mexico with a history of warm hospitality that goes back 50 years. Something that continues to set them apart from so many other resorts.

El Cid Castilla Beach Hotel

Three destinations, endless options

Well known among guests for a high level of service and authentically warm hospitality, you can find El Cid Resorts’ award-winning properties in Mazatlán, Cozumel and the Riviera Maya. It just takes one stay at one property to understand exactly why so many people make return visits. No matter which sun-soaked location you choose, you can expect to feel welcome and well taken care of from arrival to check-out. In addition, amidst the pandemic, they stepped up their already above-average sanitation protocol to enact even stricter cleanliness standards.

Where it all started: Mazatlán

If you’re wondering where to start when it comes to choosing which resort property is right for you, we suggest you start where it all began: Mazatlán. Otherwise known as the Pearl of the Pacific and the Only Colonial City on the Beach in México. The scenic coastal city boasts nearly 26 kilometres of golden sand beaches, excellent seafood and a vibrant historic centre which can’t be missed. Getting there is easy–there are weekly direct flights to Mazatlán this winter offered from several major Canadian cities.

El Cid Moro Beach Hotel

El Cid Granada Hotel has its own golf course. Other blissful beachfront options in Mazatlán include El Cid Castilla Beach Hotel and El Cid El Moro Beach Hotel. Both are located in the city’s vibrant Golden Zone. There is also El Cid Marina Beach Hotel, which comes with gorgeous marina views. It’s also worth noting that there is a regular shuttle service offered between the four resorts. Perfect for exploring the entire Mazatlán family.
