Very Relaxing

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 6 Oct 2024
As usual El Cid provided a nice fun, relaxing getaway.
Positives:
Pools
Overall beauty of resort
Food
Service(special shout out to both butlers Manuel Diaz and Are Mendez)
Concierge(Richard)

Negatives:
Check in process took way to long
Some of bars would run out of different liquors
Wish the beaches were nicer.

One other comment, we arrived on Friday less than 2 days after storm/Hurricane Helene hit resort and there were virtually no signs that it had been hit, resort was completely picked up.

Definitely recommend EL Cid for your vacation getaways, place is beautiful and very spread out so you never feel crowded, very relaxing.
Date of stay: September 2024
Room Tip: Place is very relaxing, if looking for a wild party scene, this is not the place.

El Cid Marina is the place to be! Great food, service and activities. Great for family trips and friends. The massages were so good. I received excellent service from my Butlers, Are and Mendez and Manuel Diaz. 10/10 and I’m going again in the spring!

We had a wonderful time at the El Cid resort. It was a great choice of destination for sure after the Puerto Vallarta trip we had planned fell through due to our original airline cancelling flights.

Main pool & family infinity pool were both awesome, the staff were very friendly & most knew English quite well. Lobby was a great hang-out place for playing cards & having drinks. The main buffet area wasn’t as big as the Iberostar resorts, but the food was still very good. However, the Italian a la carte restaurant (Trattoria Di Giulio) was just amazing food & best of all was the lunch buffet zone (Mercado de Delores) which was like a food fair with a whole bunch of international eateries buffet style.

The hurricane Helene took us out of commission for 2 days as it was category 1 & the a la carte reservations were cancelled for those 2 nights as well as the pools, etc. Exciting stuff though!

There were 13 in our group & all were happy. One went on a scuba excursion & others went to Chitchen Itza. I’m sure there’s more stuff to mention, but I’m going to unpack now that we’re home from our 8-day vacay.

many restaurants were closed, limited dining choices. We were there during Tropical Storm Helene but this had no bearing on the restaurant closings. Buffets and food court still open but same food choices every day. Gets old after a few days.
Our room flooded.
Staff is friendly and grounds are beautiful & well maintained. Room service was quick.
