Your unforgettable dive vacation begins at the all-inclusive El Cid La Ceiba Beach Hotel, located on Cozumel's pristine southern shore. With its own on-site dive center, the resort is only minutes away from some of the best diving in the world. Before heading to the beach, you'd better grab your sunglasses. The sparkling white sand is gorgeous, but the light is intense. The free-form pool, with a special kiddie area and extended deck that juts up to the sea, is a refreshing alternative. From a comfy lounge, you can gaze across the turquoise waters to cruise ships docking nearby.

Good Vacation
The vacation was really good, the service was great, and the hotel (room, pools, beach) were really good. The only thing we didn't like was the food. There weren't many options for food, one restaurant only and the same menu for the 8 days we were there.

Relaxed in Cozumel
El Cid is a nice hotel - the room we were in was spacious with a living room kitchen combo, and an attached bedroom. There was a large shower as well as over sized tub in the bedroom area. Small fridge to put drinks and food in was included, plus all dining utensils i.e. forks, knifes, spoons, glasses...
The room's overlook the west side of the island. There is a decent sized beach plus scuba shop on grounds. The water can only be descibed as God's swimming pool with 100' + visibility! There is a large roped of area that El Cid has to snorkel or swim in.
Food at El Cid was very good, and the service was excellent. The only negative I could give would be that it takes a while for the food, but it is the same all over the island - I assume it is due to the freshness of the food (all fresh tasty ingredients).
I would definitely return to El Cid La Ceiba!

Hotel Description
Diving Paradise at El Cid La Ceiba Beach
Your unforgettable dive vacation begins at the all-inclusive El Cid La Ceiba Beach Hotel, located on Cozumel's pristine southern shore. With its own on-site dive center, the resort is only minutes from some of the best diving in the world. Before heading to the beach, you'd better grab your sunglasses. The sparkling white sand is gorgeous, but the light is intense. The free-form pool, with a special kiddie area and extended deck that juts up to the sea, is a refreshing alternative. From a comfy lounge, you can gaze across the turquoise waters to cruise ships docking nearby.
El Cid La Ceiba Beach Hotel is not only a gateway to underwater adventures but to the wonders of the tropical forest at the resort's eco-park. Your heart will pump a little faster as you soar across 1,400 ft of jungle canopy on zip lines at Fly High Adventures. The towers are the highest in the park, offering breathtaking views of the jungle and even the sea. When earthbound once again, test your hiking skills on six rugged trails woven through lush and exotic plant life.
Once you have worked up an appetite, the hotel's premier restaurant, La Chopa, ranks among the finest in Cozumel. Dig into succulent filet mignon, cooked to perfection, at this beachfront restaurant. Everything is fresh, from the fruits and vegetables to the pastries and seafood. If love is in the air, request the Romance Special. The splashing and gurgling of two waterfalls will serenade you as the sun dips below the horizon.
An intimate hotel of just 60 recently renovated rooms, El Cid La Ceiba Beach is the ideal base for exploring Cozumel. Start with San Miguel, the little family-oriented town only minutes away. You'll delight in the downtown plaza, where locals gather Sunday nights for music and dance and conversation that's a remarkable blend of Mexican and Mayan cultures. Other nearby attractions include a chance to swim with dolphins and stingrays, and Country Club Cozumel, with an 18-hole golf course designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus.
