    Excellent getaway at el cid

    Gerson and Alan really took care of us. We really enjoyed the setup of the resort and all the amenities especially regular room cleaning and fresh water. The restaurants were all excellent and we especially enjoyed the Mercado de Delores. The platinum Lounge was excellent and every staff member we met was most helpful

    Leo and Orlando, Butlers extrodinares!

    Leopoldo Quintero and Orlando were the best butlers! They were always accessible and I couldn’t recommend their services more. As a first time vacationer to cancun they made the experience incredible! Ask for them when you go to Marina El Cid.

    Lovely all inclusive

    Stayed here for a week, and overall great all inclusive. The hospitality was 10/10 the absolute best part of the stay. Me and my partner were treated so well, the staff went above and beyond to meet any request we had. The platinum package is absolutely worth the upgrade, and would not return without it. The hotel itself is very family friendly, mostly older adults and families. Access to Ventus and ventus HA made me feel like I got more bang for my buck. The restaurants were all good, nothing spectacular but good. Would return again!!
