  Pleasant, private, quiet

  Away from the hustle and bustle of some other places. Friendly staff, very accommodating, and a generally quiet setting. Freda is a sweet young lady eager to be of assistance. The water is mostly calm with great opportunity to snorkel near the beach and see a variety of fish. Foodservices is good, and also many options nearby.

  Cozumel Charisma

  The location was beautiful, however the staff is what made this vacation the most amazing vacation ever! Hats off to the activities directors: Roger and Guiermo whose charisma charmed their guests daily. Bellhops Ari and Armondo were fabulous as well. Our hostess Maricella and waiters David, Edgar, Victor, and many more are to be commended for their excellent service!

  Good hotel with good food and drinks ( Seahorse cocktail was delicious)

  Considering we were already on a cruise for 4 days enjoying good food, we would still rate the food here as delicious. All the servers at the beach and servers at the restaurant were all attentive and friendly. We had 2X 10 year old and servers were patience with the kids too. Small facilities like a good size swimming pool, shaded hot tub and you can order drink directly at the bar connected to the hot tub. Good WiFi.

  Fun in Cozemel

  This property is right on the water and next to the cruise ship docking piers. We loved watching the ships come& go. It is older and smaller but well.maintained and clean and staff were awesome. Just know it doesn't have it's own beach but there is water access.

  Fabulous Week at the EL CID All Inclusive Beach Resort

  I had the opportunity to join some friends at the El CID under their all inclusive plan for a full week. Our suite in The Towers was on the 12th floor and it was amazing! Full kitchen, dining table, living room, flat screen, and door to huge balcony. And two huge windows with great views. The other side of the wall with its own door was the king bed, closet, safe, spacious bathroom, sitting area, and its own door to the balcony! I never heard any noises from other guests nor was the elevator disruptive. All of the employees I met were friendly and hospitable from the front desk checkin, bellmen, housekeeping, servers, beach waiters, spa, activities director, etc. I went daily to their La Chopa restaurant. I also used room service for breakfast three times and every time the food was timely delivered, hot, and tasty. And being able to order cocktails and/or food while sitting in the hot tub adjacent to the bar was heaven! The activities director always had something going on… bingo, pool volleyball, water aerobics, a Latino dance group in the evening, an incredible Mayan event after supper another evening, live music, corn hole, free snorkel lessons, karaoke, etc. Location is perfect if you are an ocean lover. Six concrete steps down into the water and you are off snorkeling or scuba diving. Sea life is abundant right below those steps and further out. A sunken aircraft, an old anchor, spotted rays, reclusive eel, thriving coral reef, blue tangs, trunkfish, damselfish, angelfish, parrotfish, clownfish and trumpetfish. I ended up snorkeling nine times over four days. The beach area has plenty of lounge chairs and lots of shade covers. And beachside waiters to take orders! Between the restaurant and the beach area was their pool which was fabulous insofar as temperature and incredibly clean and beautiful turquoise colors. I did do a spa service after a day of swimming and snorkeling. I selected the reflexology so that the service focused primarily from my knees down to my feet. After five days of being on vacation, the spa technician did an incredible job of massaging those tired toes. Best of all I chose to have my service outside in a somewhat secluded area under a canopy relaxing and listening to the ocean waves. Note: it is somewhat dated in furnishings/appearance and also close to where the cruise ships dock.
