Our stay at El Cid was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at home. The friendly staff and beautiful ocean views from our room were highlights, but the internet fee did catch us off guard. We really enjoyed the entertainment options and the all-inclusive dining experience. Overall, it's a great spot to unwind and enjoy Cozumel!

I had a lovely stay at El Cid resorts, where every room boasts an ocean view and it's just a few steps to the sea. The snorkeling was incredible, with vibrant marine life just off the shore. Julio, who ran the activities, made it even more fun with his enthusiasm. The only downside was a few initial issues in our room that took a moment to resolve, but overall, I would definitely return for the value it offers.

I had a wonderful experience at El Cid, with fantastic staff who made us feel welcome throughout our stay.

I had a really disappointing experience during my stay. The health and safety issues were concerning, especially when it came to getting basic drinking water. The dining service for New Year's Eve was poorly managed, and it felt like guests weren't prioritized. However, the room I eventually got was clean and had great views, which was a plus. The overall experience just didn't meet my expectations, especially after paying a premium for the stay.

We had an amazing stay at El Cid La Ceiba! The ocean view from our room was breathtaking, and the snorkeling right off the beach was fantastic. The staff was incredibly helpful and went out of their way to make our experience enjoyable. On the downside, the beach area was a bit small and rocky, so it might not be ideal for families with young kids. Overall, it was great value for money, especially considering the all-inclusive package options.

I had an amazing time during my stay! The hotel offered a perfect escape, especially for a mom-daughter trip. The staff was genuinely friendly, and the activities were a highlight. However, the location is a bit busy, which might not suit everyone. The room's view was also impacted by nearby foliage, but overall, it was a great experience.

My stay at El Cid La Ceiba in Cozumel was absolutely fantastic! The staff were just delightful, always accommodating and attentive, which made us feel truly valued as guests.

Our stay at El Cid Cozumel was a blend of relaxation and fun! The resort had a laid-back vibe with rooms that were very spacious, but some amenities felt a bit dated.
