2nd time at El Cid--many of the waiters remembered us from 4 years ago which was nice. Room well cleaned, grounds very nice, snorkeling right out front plus dive shop that we heard was good. Restaurant food, esp. breakfast, very good and we had all inclusive. Good location, son and I walked to "town"--an easy 2-3 mile walk. With that... More

A friend and I took a week at this location in early Feb 2012. The best part: The water, weather, and grounds - beautiful doesn't describe it. The staff can't do enough to make your stay wonderful and relaxing, especially Luis at the concierge desk and everyone at the restaurant, including Williams and Jorge. The not so good part: We...

Stayed from Jan. 20th til 30th. One bedroom apt. on the 8th floor. For a family of three it's generous: two balconies, two full bathrooms. All inclusive. SERVICE is great! I mean it. Front desk staff (Ester, Maria and others) is friendly, helpful and nice looking. Room maid - doing great job. In and around the hotel it looks like... More

If you are planning to do diving while in Cozumel this is the hotel for you. A good diving operator is made up of three crucial parts: 1. A fast boat 2. small group 3. experienced and safety conscious dive masters who take the customer where he/she wants to go. Babeica Diving in El Cid has all of these and... More

I stayed here for 3 nights of my honeymoon trip to Mexico and loved this hotel more than any of the others! We did the all inclusive with a one bedroom suite, it is soo worth getting a room that includes all inclusive. We ate every meal there and drank there and did not spend barely any money, minus tipping,... More

September in Cozumel is the off season and many do not take advantage of the charms that it offers. To be sure, one will encounter a good bit of maintenance and many of your favorite staff members will be on vacation, but there is a laid back charm that is a bit different than during the busier times ("busy" in...

Hola from Cozumel!!! Yes, that year was very special because of the “bicentenario” of independence, many people find that traveling in September, October and even November has many advantages, it`s very relaxing, like we say “muy tranquilo and rico” (very quiet and delicious) and many people enjoy that, the Sunday fiesta is a very important tradition here in Cozumel, it`s...

We spent a week here as the "resort week" of a cruise/land package. The people were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were spacious and clean. The lighting in the bathroom was very dim, and whenever anyone above flushed, you could hear the water rushing through the pipes, which are below the ceiling, camouflaged by a bamboo pole false ceiling.
