  • The pool stretches throughout the resort and includes waterfalls, rock formations and the ever popular swim-up bar. 
  • A grocery store on-site lets you pick up snacks and drinks.
  • Take advantage of the 15-person spa tub to meet new friends, or head to the quiet pool for soothing adult-tranquility.
  • Noshing on seafood under a palapa at La Concha is a must-do.

    Very Pleased

    Excellent staff and accommodations. My only negative comment is that there are too many beach vendors who are constantly trying to get our attention. It would also be nice to separate the smokers from the non-smokers on the beach. Have the smokers down wind.

    great location, uninviting resort!!

    We were picked up by the resorts airport shuttle as reqested! After a 30 minute ride we arrived at the resort. The huge lobby was uninviting! The staff at check in were courteous and pleasant. Our one bedrrom suite on the 21 floor was huge, with a view of Mazatlan and the lengthy beach! Suite was not decorated with paintings etc.. Mini kirchen with a large fridge and all the ameniteis of home, table and 4 chairs in eating area Two private full bathrooms (one with a huge walk-in shower ) The hide-a-bed was atrocious, could see the spings in the mattress! After advising the staff that it was going to used as a bed for the two weeks we were there, they placed a Queen size "pillow top" bed mattress on it and we left it pulled out during our stay. It had a regular balconey with 3 "lawn" chairs. Room servce attended daily. We did not take the all in-clusive plan because there are many good eating establishments in the immediate area! The food in the resorts restaurants was mediocure . Ample shoppping close by

    Vacation during the Plague

    I enjoyed El Moro and the neighboring hotels very much. Being right in the middle of the city was a big plus for me. Even with all the craziness going on in the world it was an excellent experience. The employees there are the backbone and I hope they are being treated well. Maybe improve the pizza a bit but overall everything was great. If the price is right I will be back soon.

    El Cid Moro

    This was our 2nd family vacation to El Cid in Mazatlan. We love El Cid! I love being able to visit all the other resorts. My all time favorite is the Marina. My family love the activities. I love the food, the drinks, and especially the staff!

    El Cid 2020

    Our week at the El Cid Moro was as wonderful as ever and, even in the midst of the coronavirus, we felt safe in spending a week at the resort in Mazatlan. The only difference with this visit was that we stayed pretty "close to home" i.e., the resort and did not venture out into the city. The resort was a real oasis in the midst of the pandemic.
