I attended a wedding here just last week. While the resort grounds themselves were immaculate, the rooms left much to be desired. Not sure if we were just in a bad building but our rooms smelled of musty, old dirty mold and upon returning home, all the clothes in our suitcase had the same musty mold smell to them. We... More

Very pleased with our experience at El Cid. We have stayed in Mexico numerous times and this was the first time in Puerto Morelos. We are glad we were so happy with the resort because there is not much to do without spending a lot of money to get into town. As far as the hotel itself we were very... More

The hotel was chosen by my travel agent from Linerty Travel. My trip went great until the second day when this family checked in. You may not stay at this resort unless you are really really numb or deaf about noise coming from next door. You know most hotels are designed to combine two rooms next to each other? This... More

We just returned from our trip (5/8 - 5/15/2013). We traveled with our three boys, 9, 8 & just 5.We were in two, 1 Bdrm Platinum suites, as we are a family of 5. My biggest complaint is that I kept asking about adjoining rooms ahead of time and was told that the 1 bdrm suites don't join. But they... More

Before I start my review, I will say this: I was so pleased with the Hotel Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort that I am booking my next trip there for the end of August. I am female, early twenties, took a family vacation from 4/21/13-5/1/13 My parents, whom I went with have been to Mexico before several times... More

We came as a group of 19 and chose a family oriented resort. Room was very clean and people were very friendly. We went on a few excursions and learned to bargain 50% of whatever they were asking. The alacarte restaurants could be improved significantly as the food was barely tolerable. The buffet food is surprisingly very good and waiters/waitresses... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at this resort in April 2013. Overall I'd have to say we were very pleased. We aren't exactly poolside relaxation kind of people. However, we did enjoy the pool and the swim up bar. Jacuzzi was always crowded after 5pm. There's only 1 on the resort. They had cabanas, lounge chairs and hammocks spread throughout... More

Coming from London, we were looking forward to this vacation for loads of sun and beaches, we were a little skeptical about the resort as our friends(who visited last year) had told us about it being too crowded with kids and their entertainments being too kids focused, we still went ahead with the resort as it was within our budget,...

El Cid in Puerto Morelos is a wonderful property. Be forewarned, it is mandatory all-inclusive, which means they will make money off you if you like to go on all-day excursions, don't drink like a fish, or otherwise do not make a general pig of yourself. But that is their business model and you should not be surprised. On the... More
