Happy New Year to all of our
partners! Every year (and every day)
starts with endless possibilities.
Right after Christmas, I headed to
Philadelphia for a conference and
enjoyed the "Rocky" movie steps at
the Philadelphia Art Museum.
|
|
My wish for you is that you have
many things to look forward to in
2026 and beyond!
|
|
I hope you enjoyed your start to
2026 with family and friends!
Sincerely,
Dave Emery

Since I get to Mazatlan at least
once a year to visit the El Cid
properties, I often get asked what
activities agents can recommend to
their clients. Here are a few of my
favourite things to do in Mazatlan.
|
|
· Ride
the New Zipline -
1.3 kilometers across the bay from
the light house to the mainland
|
|
· Release Baby
Turtles at the
eco-friendly turtle sanctuary
|
|
· Walk
the Malecon with
all of the public art and great
beaches
|
|
· Attend
a Baseball
Game with the
locals and cheer for the Venados!
|
|
· Visit
the New (world-class) Aquarium
|
|
· Explore Machado
Square and
the beautiful historic downtown
district

I spend much my time reminding our
agent partners about El Cid’s larger
properties in Mazatlan and the
Rivera Maya (Puerto Morelos), but
did you know that El Cid has a small, boutique property in
Cozumel?
|
|
The El
Cid La Ceiba Beach in
Cozumel is a small property with
only 60 rooms, comprised of deluxe
rooms and one bedrooms suites. I
always remind agents that this is
the perfect property for scuba
divers. The
property has a PADI
dive shop right
on property making it easy for
divers to pick up their equipment
and get right on a dive boat at our
dock.
|
|
You can find the El Cid La Ceiba
Beach property offered through our
Canadian tour operator partners
including Air Canada Vacations,
WestJet Vacations and Sunwing
Vacations.
