El Cid Marina Beach Hotel Mazatlan

Live it up like the Rich & Famous at El Cid Marina Mazatlan, where you will find yourself surrounded by our beautifully designed Mediterranean style suites located right on the ocean.

Couples and families come here for quiet vacations, and sport fishers are attracted by the fishing opportunities and proximity to the charter boats based in the marina.

The hotel features two heated pools, one with beach-entry children's section and swim-up bar and the other with water slide and waterfalls. Adjacent to the second pool is a 7.5-meter-diameter (25-foot) spa tub. A complimentary shuttle boat transports guests across the marina to a long beach. The marina is home to a sports-fishing fleet and sailboats that can be rented for snorkeling/swimming/lunch excursions to an offshore island
