nice location; tranquil area; not much/nothing to do at night. all inclusive package not worth your $; food alright; not many eating options, just 1; rooms were clean, beds need improvement. I arrived new year's eve; restaurant was charging $115 per person for the new year's celebration which included "entertainment" (a so so dj), so so drinks and a so so buffet; We showed up at 11:pm and they wanted $38 per person for drinks and "entertainment"; as we had not eaten I asked how much more to include food, they still wanted $115 p/p AT 11PM. unreasonable!!! it wasn't even really happening there. We walked a block away ended up at the Hard Rock Cafe with live band, food, drinks and tip for $75 for 2 adults. Shout out to the Hard Rock Cafe crew, we had the best tine ever!!!!.
message to your personnel in charge - reasonable prices, fare to you and us tourists, better time and happy guests. rather than only a few guests and a great waste of your so so food.
other than that disappointment I enjoyed my 5 day stay at El Cid
recommendation - rent a motorized scooter and venture out of the resort. the best beaches, food, at much better prices, and places are not at the resort. contact Armando Perez 52 987 114 7906 or 52 987 139 3454 for $35 a day and you will have a blast. We only spent our last 1/2 day at the resort. we had an amazing time venturing out in Cozumel. Ask Armando for his recommendation on to which beaches to go to stop at.
