Description: We had the pleasure of visiting Mazatlan for the second time this past June. However, we unfortunately had a very bad experience at the resort. The Mayan Sea Garden, from the start we felt fooled by both the Mayan Sea Garden and RCI. They both lured our family family into thinking that the resort was gold crown and that it was equivalent to Marina el Cid Yacht Club, where we stayed the first time in Mazatlan. However, we later found out by the bellhops that this resort is one of the oldest in Mazatlan (build in 1972), it is classified as a gold crown because of the construction that is going on for the Grand Mayan Palace next door. In fact, the resort really is only 3-stars! We reserved a two bedroom unit, however, it turned out to be two closets! That supposedly had space for six, even though the four of us felt claustrophobic in the rooms. We complained and were changed to another two bedroom unit, which did not have access to an elevator, and had to climb two flights of stairs. The microwave and freezer did not work. When our friends tried to visit, they were told, that we were not registered. The pool closes at 8pm. We tried the buffet restaurant for breakfast, and were allowed only one time through the line. El Cid has unlimited access. You cannot swim on the beach, which is on the grounds, because of the rocks in the water. The only thing, that I liked was the grounds at the pool, which was really kept up. Almost forgot, I was sick from the food at the restaurant the entire day with diarrhea. We complained to RCI, and were moved to El Cid's El Moro, which is another experience, which we really enjoyed.
