Excelente hotel, de verdad que el trato de cada uno del personal es muy humano y amigable, la comida y variedad muy buenas. Los shows en la pérgola muy buenos, igual que las actividades en el día y los jueguitos para niños. El único pero sería el tema de que no hay wifi más que para 2 equipos y nunca pudimos accesar, pero es lo único que vi que podría mejorar. Sin duda regresaré al mismo lugar

We really enjoyed our stay at El Cid. We booked through Expedia and were treated extremely well during our stay. There are different colored wristbands and our wristband afforded us to go to any restaurant, and even order off a menu at the ala carte restaurants, and have top shelf liquor. Room came with robes and slippers for an extra touch. We truly enjoyed the upgrade to an oceanfront room and enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to the waves. Very convenient location with ability to walk to many place, or getting a taxi was very easy. We will definitely recommend El Cid and plan to come back in the future.

The pool staff and dining staff (especially in the buffet) were very good. I was a little disappointed that we couldn’t really “play” at the other El Cid resorts. I found the public washrooms were not as clean as I would have expected. The food at the Argentinian restaurant was fabulous.
