El Cid Castilla Beach Hotel Offers All Inclusive Adventure

Looking for a resort with everything? Then look no further than the all inclusive El Cid Castilla Beach Hotel in Mazatlan. Boasting a championship, 27-hole golf course and a 120-vessel marina at a sister resort, El Cid Castilla Beach opens the door to adventure. For lazier days, lounging on the beach as the sun sets behind nearby islands might be just what the doctor ordered. And for the days you simply want to be pampered, aromatherapy and herbal wraps await you at the full-service spa.

Kids love the water slides in the pool, but it's the cascading waterfalls, rock formations and tropical plants that charm parents. Widely regarded as Mexico's largest, the infinity pool at El Cid Castilla Beach Hotel is just the place to soak up the lavish warmth of Mazatlan's sun. While there, be sure to quench your thirst with a lava flow or mai tai at the swim-up bar. If that's not enough, you can check out the pools at the sister resorts!

One vacation won't be enough time to try everything at this beach hotel. Mazatlan, the "Pearl of the Pacific," lays claim to some of the best sport fishing in the Americas, and charter crews operate from the El Cid Marina Beach Marina. Save a day or two for diving, snorkeling or simply sailing.

The resort's five restaurants provide plenty of choices, and the dinner show at La Pergola is sure to intrigue. The distinctive mariachi blend of trumpet, classical guitar and violin stirs the soul, even as whirling dancers in traditional costumes mesmerize. Mexican Fiesta is just one of the shows offered at the dinner theater. Each night is different, with Broadway musicals, like Cats and Evita, as well as a Fantasy Show with black light special effects.

After an action-packed day, retreat to an Ocean View Room and spend time enjoying the stunning pool and sea vistas from a private balcony. Lounge on the couch in the living room, or rest comfortably on the plush bed. After all, another day of adventure awaits.
