What We Love

  • To get into the island groove, spend the day by the enormous pool and your evening at one of the resort's many shows or classy bars.
  • Enjoy ocean, garden or pool views when you book a Junior Suite.
  • Scuba divers and snorkelers can explore the offshore reef ranked the second largest in the world.

Things to Know

  • The resort is less than 20 minutes from Cancun International Airport.
  • Though the resort is close to a wide variety of local hotspots, like Puerto Morelos, Cancun and Playa del Carmen, it is a quieter, relaxing resort.
  • Maximize your vacay hours by checking pick-up times on scheduled transfers.
At Hotel Marina El Cid Spa and Beach Resort, you'll find palm trees, warm breezes and a private beach of lovely white sand ready for you to ease your restless mind.

This all-inclusive, oceanfront resort overlooks Puerto Morelos National Reef Park on the Mayan Riviera, close to the charming fishing village of Puerto Morelos. Scuba divers and snorkelers can explore the off-shore reef that ranks as the second-largest in the world, while the water lovers find their sanctuary in the heated infinity pool or the 22,000 sq. ft. free-form pool, complete with a swim-up bar, cascading waterfalls, and in-water lounge chairs. A designated children's area hosts a network of waterslides to keep the kids happy, while the adult-only section features a spa tub, sun deck, and a Jacuzzi bar-and-massage area.

All-inclusive means a stress-free getaway: food, drinks and activities are included in the price of your vacay! Visit Hacienda Arrecife, poolside, for classic Mexican dishes and 100-plus brands of tequila to keep you palate wet. If you are hankering for something a little different, wander into El Alcazar for gourmet Mediterranean fare, where an extensive wine cellar and delicacies, such as duck breast and beef filet prove irresistible. Complete your daytime adventure with a dolphin swim before returning to your exquisite Junior Suite, with an ocean, garden or pool view, where you'll find yourself surrounded by contemporary decor and a mild Mediterranean palette of warm colors. Or, if your energy still abounds, just stop by for a change of clothes before taking to the Lobby Bar Cafe & Lounge for a night of live music.

    Birthday get away

    Ventus Ha was our resort. What a great birthday surprise for both BFF and I. even all the other birthdays in November Lots of chocolate and balloons catered by David and Marcelino our butlers (mayordomo in spanish) . they were sooo accommodating too all their assigned vacationers. Our concierge Christina and her Staff were on top of everything and so attentive to everyone in their group. The beach sand area was less, but the waters were free of seaweed as the season is off I guess. the farewell bash @ the KOBO was funny and the food was delish. ALL the cooks gave a show while preparing the meals and it it made it fun. Popul Vu dinner show was amazing and if like me who gets wowed by any little thing you'll get a kick out of it. lots of food and a magic show. this vacation was pretty exciting and even though I can't swim I was able to participate in the Dona Elvira Cenote water where you jump off the small cliff into the cenote, natural sink hole, ( I did not jump I walked in, lol)....overall, I love this resort.

    5 Star resort with awesome butlers and staff

    We had two awesome butlers, Alma Mayordomo and Luis Diaz. They went out of their way to keep us informed, make reservations for us, get us transportation when we needed it and are both very dear individuals. When we return, we will ask for them. We consider them dear friends at this point. This is a lovely resort with lots of special people that look forward to seeing each year. Tomas on the beach and Rooster at Pronation are also very special

    Great Time

    Rooms were nice and clean. Grounds were beautiful kept. Pools were all clean and refreshing. Food choices were plenty and all was very delicious. Wait staff were always around ready to help or get you drinks or remove unwanted plates.Will be going again, hopefully sooner than later.

    Wonderful trip to Hotel Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort

    Hotel Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort is a wonderful place to stay, relax and enjoy great food. We stayed for a week in October and we will be looking to return in the future. When staying at Hotel Marina El Cid you can use the restaurants and amenities at the connected El Cid resorts. This is a nice perk and gives you access to 6 pools as well The rooms are modern, clean and comfortable. We upgraded to a platinum room with an ocean view, use of the butler team of Ivan and Cali who provided awesome service. They booked our restaurants, took care of any requests we had, would let us know what the daily entertainment and activities were and were around to say hi each day and make us feel like we were one of their top priorities Housekeeping does a great job keeping the rooms clean and it occurs everyday normally twice a day Another nice perk is the hotel is extremely close to the beach. It is literally a 1-2 minute walk to the beach from most rooms. The beach is nice but it has some barriers built in so its not as great as some others we have been to The daily entertainment was excellent. There were different theme nights. The Disney and hit music nights were awesome The amenities: Kayaks, water slides and cliff jumping at the main pool, 2 beach side infinity pools, free daily guide led bike trip into Puerto Morelos which was very enjoyable, make sure to grab some souvenirs or food at the Chedraui supermarket and there are daily pool activities The restaurants: The main buffet La Alhambra is great and the local Mexican food they make is top notch. They change parts of the menu every day so you can keep going back and not be bored. Some of the highlights are the tacos, fresh cooked to order meats, pasta, crepes, and assorted deserts Mercado De Dolores is a food court/buffet style area open for lunch with many choices to eat all of which were great For the sit down restaurants Hacienda Arrecife(Mexican), Kobo (teppanyaki), and A'akat Ibero-American were excellent Aroma's cafe is an excellent spot to get a coffee, tea, hot chocolate, lattes and other hot/cold drinks. It also has fresh pastries, ice cream, jello/parfaits, and sandwiches. It is open most of the day and is a nice place to sit and enjoy the day. This is great resort and we would recommend it
