The location in the Golden Zone right on the ocean is great. The staff were very friendly and provided excellent service. We did not care for the food, however. There are many peddlers and mariachi bands on the beach outside of the resort which isn’t unique to this hotel, but it can be a little overwhelming if you’re trying to relax.

Location is the only good thing about this place. Hotel is old and it shows. Bed mattresses and pillows are hard and uncomfortable. When getting ready for bed pulled down comforter and sheets on bed were disgustingly stained. when we asked for them to be changed there was about a 20 min wait in sending someone up it was probably about nine in the evening and we were tired from a long day of travel and just wanted to go to bed, but finally someone came up to change them. That person said that that was normal and they are told to still use those sheets on the beds. We also had another instance in one of their restaurants of dirty table placemats that were used on the table we sat at and were told they were washed that morning and those are just stains and we’re OK to use. We told them to take them off the table and we would not use them. Food quality is mediocre. Staff members seem to not be well trained in customer care for the hospitality industry, making guests wait excessively for things when there should not be a wait. We will not be coming back to this resort.

The pool area was huge and jumping off the rocks into the water was a highlight. We reserved five restaurants during our stay and the dishes were all delicious, unique and presented favourably. And the check-out was stress-free with no hidden charges; which we’ve dealt with at other resorts over our years of travel.

We had a wonderful stay at El CID Castilla in an oceanfront room. The all inclusive elite package provided a top level luxury experience for us. Staff was courteous and attentive. The bands on the beach are incredibly loud and it would be a more enjoyable experience, especially in the afternoon, if they were not directly in front of the hotel. The mornings, evenings, and nights, were beautiful. We had one bad experience dining at the Golf Club steakhouse. We ate there twice. On Friday November 22nd we had and incredible meal with flawless service and we decided to go back again. On Sunday November 24th we returned to the steakhouse. It was quite busy but we were served promptly. Unfortunately, my appetizer was forgotten. My friends, of course, would not start eating until everyone was served as is proper etiquette. I had to find a staff member and reorder my food. By the time it came, everyone’s food was cold and my hurried appetizer was burnt and not edible. I did not wish to eat it and sent it back. Our main courses were delicious with no issues. After the main course was finished, it took so long for our desserts that we decided to leave. We paid full price for a partial meal that was substandard for the cold appetizers. Although this was brought to the attention of resort staff, there was no offer of restitution. This was the only poor experience of our stay. I would like to mention that the staff in the Cafe Elite were friendly and attentive. Thank you

A group of us spent 4 nights at the property in September of 2024. We are between 52 and 71. It wasn't the correct property for us. It is really geared towards families, and multiple generations at that. We all live in Mexico and have proficient Spanish. The property is showing deferred maintenance, and, at times, was really dirty from the crowds. That said---the staff, to a person, were delightful. They were friendly, helpful and seemed to genuinely be glad that we were there. Our biggest problem was that 3 of us booked with Expedia and the other two booked directly with the hotel. There was a marked inequity in the bracelets and the benefits that came along with them. We were constantly given incorrect information on what we could/could not do, where we could/could not eat. On the last full day---the two who didn't book with Expedia paid for an upgrade. Well, due to poorly advised staff members, this resulted in an even bigger problem. They jumped levels above us. It was a problem when they were assured we could all go to the marina for dinner. Once we arrived, the staff had to tell us that this wasn't the case. We could join our newly upgraded friends for dinner but would have to pay the menu prices. We did this, it was never about the money. The real problem is that there was never one clear explanation of the levels of all-inclusive packages.
