    Awesome summer vacation resort!

    This resort exceeded my expectations! We were a family of four with 2 kids (age 5 & 9) From the moment we pulled up to the resort we were blown away by the hospitality. All of the staff was pleasant and cordial. The platinum lounge was our hangout before dinners and after breakfast most days before going to the pool for the remainder of the day. The food in the french restaurant was fresh and had a nice variety. I was able to find something for my 2 picky kids. The Delores was where we had lunch most days and the selection was great. Tacos, pizza, salads, pastas, asian, shwarma.. the list goes on. The presentation of all meals was exceptional. My favorite was A'Kaat. Flavors were excellent! My room was cleaned everyday by Anita and normally I don't walk barefoot in hotel rooms especially by the beach but our room was spotless. Not a speck of dust on the floor or anywhere in the room. The mini bar was stocked fully at all times. Our butler was Samu and Alexandro who was always available to answer questions, make dinner reservations or provide transportation to another part of the resort. The pools are all well maintained ( we went to the Ventus pool but most days were in the main pool on the Marina side.) My only complaint was the first night we were there ( Sunday June 22) we had no choice but to eat at the Alahambar buffet at Marina and I waited online for an hour for a pasta dish for my daughter. The chicken nuggets and french fries that were supposed to be for kids were eaten up right away by all the adults that did not want to wait in line for food and was never refilled. The pizza case was empty as well. There should be another option as well for the amount of people, they simply could not keep up with the demand. My 5 year old fell asleep at the table before he got anything to eat and my daughter cried on the long line. Thank god for the donuts and pastries in the cafe. Management, please take this into consideration. We came back home to Pennsylvania on Friday June 27th and I miss this place already!! We cannot wait to return, hopefully they change some things.

    Very relaxing vacation at El Cid Ventus!

    We had a very enjoyable vacation with family at El Cid Ventus. The food was excellent at all the restaurants with very attentive meseros. Excellent gym equipment. Hydrotherapy was very relaxing. Butlers Sebastian and Ricardo were very attentive to our needs and comfort. Our room had a gorgeous ocean front view. Daily housekeeping kept our rooms clean and comfortable.

    Disappointing

    Extremely disappointed. I’ve been to many all inclusive “luxury” resorts before and this feels more like a budget resort. No one in our party liked the food and room service was worse. Good luck with reasonable dinner reservations if any are available at all. Some room service items were received undercooked, bread and chips were stale. Phones in the room did not work even after being “fixed” by maintenance. Platinum service is a waste of money. Many times we were advised the carts were too busy to pick us up and we had to ask multiple times for items we were requesting often times to not receive them at all. Often we would return to our room at 5 PM to find it unclean, even though we would see the maid service on our floor early in the afternoon. Avoid the presentation no matter what they offer you! It’s not worth the headache and half day of your vacation. The people are very aggressive, insulting and extremely rude especially when they realize they don’t have a sale. I’m not on vacation to be harassed nor will I be bullied and talked down to because I don’t fall for your timeshare lies. Overall, staff is subpar and sometimes rude(mostly wait staff)as well. I have no intention of returning or recommending El Cid resorts.
