El Moro Tower el Cid at Mazatlan

  • January 11, 2004
  • Rated 5 of 5 by borntraveler from Alameda, California
Best Things Nearby:
Beach, restaurants, shops, taxis always available. Our favorite and an absolute must is to take a taxi to Plazado Machado (historic downtown), which has a beautiful theater and fantastic, inexpensive restaurants. This is one international city where we didn't worry about our safety.

Best Things About the Resort:
Staff is excellent, very friendly, and accommodating. Daily maid service is wonderful and gracious. I felt so trusting of the accommodations and staff I'm not sure using the safe was necessary. The hotel (like many) has purified water for all needs (including the pool).

Resort Experience:
The El Moro Resort is directly on a safe swimming beach with beautiful pools including a swim-up bar. It's a high-rise hotel (27 floors), but the elevators worked faster than my work building with only eight floors. Each room has an ocean view and each one-bedroom unit has two baths, a safe, kitchen (no oven), and balcony. At check-in, we requested two rooms ending in 23 and 25 (best views of sunset - read in RCI travel journal - big thank you). Although only one was available, the next day they moved the second unit (we had rooms 2123 and 2425). There is a special pool and jacuzzi for owners that we were given bracelets to use. The restaurants were very good. The only downside was the only El Cid (there are five hotels) that has a heated pool is the one at the Marina, which you can take a free shuttle to. We still swam at El Moro's, but the water was really too cold for most.

El Cid Resort - El Moro Tower

  • August 3, 2003

El Cid Resort - El Moro Tower

Best Things Nearby:
The beach and restaurants.

Best Things About the Resort:
Pool, friendly staff, and the accommodations.

Resort Experience:
The rooms were clean and very spacious, the pool was phenomenal, enough to keep the kids entertained all day. The staff at the resort work very hard to make sure there is always something to do. The food was good, particularly the Mexican French Toast at breakfast. The room had a spectacular view of the ocean, city and mountains, and was very spacious with everything necessary to be comfortable. The hotel is well located, within walking distance of many restaurants and shops.

The resort offers a fun, exciting atmosphere for children, and relaxing vacation for adults. I would highly recommend this for anyone, families in particular. In fact, we enjoyed it so much we bought into the timeshare. It's very worthwhile, and we look forward to visiting on a regular basis.

To start, we are planning a complete family vacation with parents, sisters/brothers-in-law, nieces, and nephew over Christmas 2003. We're looking forward to it so much.

El Cid Resort - El Moro Tower

  • July 28, 2003
  • Rated 2 of 5 by davilin88 from Chico, California
Best Things Nearby:
The beach and Los Arcos restaurant.

Best Things About the Resort:
The spa across the street is very nice. The island in the pool has a water slide and waterfall you can swim under and is fun for the kids.

Resort Experience:
The unit was large and had a good view of the pool and the beach, but the bed was very hard and everything smelled moldy. The microwave did not work and it took a good part of a day to get it replaced. La Cascada, the onsite restaurant, was fairly good and reasonable.

Best Things Nearby:
The resort is right on the beach. Across the street and next door are some shops and restaurants.

Best Things About the Resort:
The resort was beautiful and it was right on the beach. There were a lot of activities for the vacationer to participate in as well.

The resort was beautiful inside. The hotel employees were very friendly and were eager to wait on you. They had an indoor/outdoor bar, along with a swim up bar. The resort had beach equipment you can check out. The resort was fully equipped with whatever you needed.

The bedroom was very spacious and the sofa in the living room made into a bed.

El Moro Tower el Cid at Mazatlan

  • March 28, 2003
  • Rated 4 of 5 by Carrie10 from Lakewood, Colorado
Best Things Nearby:
The best things to do nearby are either going on a catamaran over to Dear Island, where there is a feast waiting for you and there are people on the beach right outside the hotel that are ready and willing to take you over there. Other wonderful things to do nearby are to take the shuttle over to the El Cid Marina, which is a part of the resort. It is only a five minute ride and there you will enjoy a wonderful buffet and also beautiful boats, as well as pools and parks. Other things that are great to do nearby are either playing tennis or golf, or even going for a walk in the El Cid neighbodhood. The houses are beautiful and they are located right on the 27 hole golf course.

Best Things About the Resort:
The best thing about this timeshare is that anything you could think of doing or that you may want to do is ready and waiting for you. At the El Cid El Moro Tower you feel like you are in a whole other world. There is swimming, there is golfing, there is biking, there is hiking, there is tennis, there is a hot tub, there is food, there is painting, there is surfing, there is sailing - everything you could imagine is located right in your backyard. I also would say that one of the most wonderful things about this resort is the room amenities as well as the staff. The staff is wonderful and willing to accommodate your every need.

Resort Experience:
The resort is very cultural, and yet at the same time very luxurious. All the facilities are well-kept and the food is very wonderful as well as very clean. The one bedroom consists of two queen-size beds with a television and full bath. There is also a living room with a pull-out sofa as well as another full bath, and finally if you were to stay at the El Moro Tower you should request a unit ending in either 23 or 25. They are units located directly on the beach with a balcony, and watching the sun go down in Mazatlan is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I would also recommend going March through June - that is when the weather is the best.
