With the exception of the front desk personnel and the sales “sharks” , the staff at El Cid were exceptional. You can diffenetly tell who the members were as our vacation progressed.

I hope you are well and enjoying a lovely Wednesday afternoon. I would like to offer a sincere token of gratitude and appreciation for giving us the opportunity to be your hosts.

Our aim is to make people happy, delighted and optimistic, never has it been our intention to anger or frustrate our guests. Rest assured your comments do not fall on deaf ears and we will follow up on these important opportunity areas in our service.
With all kindness and respect, we humbly invite you to revisit any of our El Cid Resorts where we will gladly welcome you with open arms.
Warm regards,

Great food (coffee wasn't that good), helpful staff, nice accommodations. Beach has shade, a bit rocky, might need water shoes.

by Dear guest,
First of all, I would like to thank you for sharing your comments in base this past visit to our resort.
We are glad to identify that all in all you had a wonderful vacation experience, nevertheless, it is a shame to know about the negative details which prevented your holiday of an excellent getaway.
Our resort is located in front of one of the largest reef in the Mexican Caribbean and this is one of the reasons because our beaches tend to be rocky.
On the other hand, it will be a pleasure to take into account your feedback and shared with our food and beverage manager with the aim to correct this deviation in our quality service.
It will be an honor to have the pleasure to greet you again in the future.
Best regards,
Iván Bringas

Fun in the Sun
Pros:Good food overall. Lots of restaurant and bar choices.
Cons:There are several pools, but they are not heated so were very cold. Also, beach had lots of seaweed, but this was also at other resorts in the area.
Location:Not far from the airport, but much quieter than Cancun. Close to everything you can do from either Cancun or Riviera Maya. Scuba diving from hotel.
From the moment we arrived at El Cid we received excellent service. Our room was wonderful! It overlooked both the ocean from a distance and the lagoon. We had two balconies, one with a jacuzzi. This resort was family oriented and though we were not travelling with children we really enjoyed it. There was an area for adults only in case you wanted to enjoy a little quieter scene. Luis the butler and Joel were so nice. Really the best service we have had at an all inclusive.

Awesome Family Destination
Pros:Great selection of food, infinity pool a main pool, service
Cons:It would be nice if one of the hot tubs allow kids under parents supervision. During chilly days it would be great to be in warm water with your kid.
Location:Hotel is conveniently located not far from the airport. We had a 2-year old, so no excursions this time.
We had a fantastic experience with Hotel Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort. We stayed at Ventus section, which was brand new, and a super nice gentleman at the front desk gave us a room with a hot tub. The room was huge, and looked phenomenal! The property of the resort looks absolutely beautiful and is very well-maintained. Everything was amazing, our room, service, constantly smiling staff, pools, nightly entertainment. The food was the best I have ever tried in the Caribbean so far. It's not a huge resort where you need a shuttle (even though there is one) to take you from the room to the lobby, or from the room to the beach. Everything is very close to each other, and will take you no more than 5-7 minutes walk between two opposite ends of the resort. The beach was a bit rocky, but the hotel staff is doing a great job by pulling those stones out on a daily basis. Swimming shoes will work just fine. Overall, great time! So, highly recommend to anyone who wants to stay at a nice hotel with great food, service and entertainment.

Sales Pitch when you walk in the door.
So very mixed feelings about this week.
Room-air conditioning was sketchy, didn't maintain a consistent comfortable temp. Hot water in the shower was non existent at points during the week. Had to get new room keys everyday, if they are near your cell phone they deactivated.
Meals-Dinner reservations get filled up very quickly despite the restaurants being half full when you get there. Wines are awful. Buffets for breakfast and lunch were good, nice variety. Dinner buffets were mediocre.
Fitness center-was nice and clean and very busy in the mornings! Great yoga and spin classes with Dalia in the mornings.
Bars- Pretty sweet and often weak drinks. Lacks consistency , asking for the same drink at 3 different bars netted me three different drinks.
Staff- staff was great! Rooms cleaned well every day, bartenders very friendly!

Location:It is an isolated hotel, some things can be done in the little town of Puerto Morelos, especially if you like to try local food and contact with peopl
Just like other hotels at the Riviera, access is a little difficult but the place is worth seeing.
