The room was very clean and the food was very good, though I would not pay for the upcharged menu items. The breakfast buffet was my favorite- very fresh and lots of options. The drinks were flowing at the pool bars, though not very strong and often very sweet. Drinks in the restaurants were okay, though again, some alcohols were an upcharge (ex. Kahlua). For the money, you cannot beat it.

The staff was amazing. It really made our stay excellent. Luis at breakfast every morning was an amazing server. Diane in the Concierge lounge was so helpful. Jesus at the shuttle was always so welcoming and knowledgeable. We loved the open air style of the resort, no huge buildings blocking our view. The Marina hotel was so great. We cannot wait to come back.

First time to Mazatlan, and we were so glad we changed our reservations to this hotel (Marina)! Things to know: Do we recommend? Absolutely! Package? Elite All-Inclusive. Did we tip throughout the stay? Absolutely! Number of days: 4 Nights Best: #1: Service (phenomenal) #2: Property Grounds (stunning) #3: Amenities (everything) #4: Private Beach, Jacuzzi, and Pools #5: a la carte Menu Items (very tasty) #6: Drinks will get you buzzed #7: Very clean, lots of staff #8: Room Service (elite all-inclusive has free coffee, soda, juice, bottled water, alcoholic beverages, food for delivery) #9: 9ft-Deep Pool (unheated): slides, waterfalls, caves, rocks for jumping #10: Regular pool (heated) has swim-up bar #11: Plenty of loungers/seating/tables at pools #12: Quiet enough to relax Not the best: #1: Location is north of the main town #2: Property is older #3: Most rooms do not face the ocean front #4: Most rooms do not have balconies as-shown in the property photos #5: Buffet selection is smaller than the larger resorts #6: There are time-share presentation requests #7: Only two restaurants, but also 3 snack bars. More at sister properties with free shuttle. #8: Evening Entertainment is at a sister property, but there are free shuttles #9: One of the pools is not heated This place is fantastic and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Our concierge, Armando, was beyond helpful, funny, and treated us like we were special. EVERY staff person is friendly and helpful. Do it!

Its a resort, not a hotel.

this is an older property but has been kept clean and well. service was excellent but their restaurant was pricey. We didn't have an impression of pushy sales people for the timeshare thing. In fact they never even bothered to ask us but noticed the first day that it was a time share. We love the cave pool and felt like we didn't have to go outside of the hotel. I was impressed the female trainer for the hawk would come out to the pool area for the families to experience! Should be called El Cid Resort, not hotel. Stay within Mazatlan, after all this is Sinaloa.
