Great Deal

This resort was a great deal for the price. The resort is smaller, so it does not have the number if different restaurants to choose from. The beach was very nice but small. The staff was great. If you have kids this is a great place for them. The staff kept them busy all day long.

amazing vacation

This was our first trip to Mexico and we were very please with Hotel Marina El Cid. We met numerous people at the resort who had been to Mexico many times and said El Cid was the best yet. The best part of El Cid is their pool. The cliff and slide brought laughter on our entire family with kids 4,8,15,16. Our 4 year old was even doing flips off the cliff. The slide is so fast and dangerously fun. My husband ended up with a bruise but it was well worth it and we all kept going back for more. We want to go back for the pool alone!The resort was clean, friendly, and great food options in the restaurants. Better quality with the reservations and my 16 year old son ordered room service every day in addition to our regular meals-the room service offered a great variety to the daily buffet and had great food as well. LOVED IT! Beautiful beach, tons to do, loved the kyaks although I could not keep from wiping out. We will be back!

Best Vacation Ever

This was our first trip to Mexico and what a way to go. The hotel staff was wonderful and the rooms were emmaculate every day. There was plenty of beach front area and the pools were crystal clear, I could not want for anything more. The choices or dining were just enought that you really had no reason to want to be anywhere but at the hotel. This was the most relaxed I have been in years and I can not wait to go back again next year.

Go elsewhere...

We've been to many Caribbean resorts and this one ranks last on our list. If you have a herd of kids and want to turn them loose and ignore them at other guests expense, this is probably the place for you. It was overrun with ill-behaved children which, of course, are a product of poor parents. The beach is nice but crowded. The pool is nice but crowded. The food is awful but plentiful. The staff isn't super motivated to help you. We will not go back.

This newly built property offers very comfortable, nicely appointed rooms. The upgrade to their Platinum service offers great added amenities as well. Their new spa is a great place to relax and be pampered and offers a wide variety of traditional mayan treatments.

The atmosphere here is pretty quiet...which lend greatly to relaxation but the towns of Puerto Morelos and Playa del Carmen are nearby and offer some fun options.

Riviera Maya.....relaxation or fun, sun and nightlife.....there's so much to see and do.
