Basically its an old hotel on the water at a very fair price. The staff is great, the food is fine and drinks are not pricey. It's not the Hyatt but spend your money on other things! I will be staying there again in the fall.

Property was nice, had issues with the whole all inclusive thing since apparently that is a separate charge. Close to many shopping options but they only seemed to open on the days that the cruise ships docked.

I have been going to El Cid consecutively for some time now. Booking with Expedia sucked because I thought I selected the All Inclusive which is what I searched but apparently Expedia just generated everything. It wasn’t until I was informed at the hotel that they said it had to have All Inclusive in the listing and of course no refunds. Guess my fault for not noticing. I had previously stayed 4 weeks earlier with the all inclusive and paid only $175. My booking this time was $121 so I asked if they could just upgrade me to the price I had paid before since it was an accident I meant to book the All Inclusive. They then tried to tell me it would be an additional $180 plus taxes for myself and a guest. 4 weeks earlier was $175 and now it’s $300. So decided it wasn’t worth it. Then to top it all off, my guest left a ring in the room with tremendous sentimental value. She called a few hours after checkout to see if they found it (which it was left in an obvious spot) and was informed nobody from house cleaning found anything. I highly highly doubt that is true but what can we do. Needless to say I will not be back and everyone I work with in the cruise industry I will inform to avoid this place at all costs.

I booked this hotel as part of a flight/hotel package. The transfer was ultimately deemed "invalid" by both the travel agency and the hotel given the distance and necessary travel time between the airport and the hotel. As a result, I was promised a special waiver to provide me with a refund for the stay as I would not be able to reach the hotel. Despite confirming the impossibility of the transfer, the hotel denied my fee waiver and charged me the full cost of the stay for a trip I was never able to take. I was charged for three nights and I never even stepped foot on the property. Extremely poor customer service. Look elsewhere.

I would NOT recommend this hotel. They cater to cruise ship people and not the people who are staying at resort. Once cruise ships leave, everything is closed in this area and no place to eat or seek entertainment unless you go downtown. Reception staff was not helpful, we complained about our beds having holes in the middle, only after multiple complaints one bed was fixed. They charged us an extra tax fee per night that went into play in 12/23. We booked our hotel pkg in 10/23 prior to this extra fee. We were told we should have been given option to decline this fee and we were not given this choice and they refused to refund our money. We were not all inclusive so we paid everytime we ate or drank at the hotel. During check out they wanted to charge us again for what we had the first day when we were at pool because pool wait staff did not mark it as paid. We had to argue with them and have other wait staff confirm we paid each time we consumed something. Reception staff was not friendly or accommodating. Food was good at El Cid, the activities director was fun and engaged with guests staying at hotel. But I would not recommend this hotel

The bed was extremely uncomfortable and we woke up with bug bites. The bathroom cleanliness was average. We did enjoy the restaurant and beach area. The staff was friendly and helpful. Overall however, i think the price was excessive for what you get. I probably would not recommend this hotel or return for another visit.

Everyone was so accommodating and amazing. It was my first international solo trip and also my birthday! The front desk sent a nice complimentary bottle of red wine to my room to say “happy birthday. The food was delicious and the views….absolutely breathtaking. I slept comfortably as my room was quite nice and comfortable. My stay was amazing and I definitely will make sure I return.

Cozumel is a great place, but not
Cozumel is a buitiful place, but we were dissapointed from the hotel. The beach was not well-maintained, underwater different slabs and pieces of building materials. Directly opposite the hotel there is marine for 5 large liners. The hotel allows 1 internet access per person. When we asked extra acess code for the laptop- they give us the price $22 USD/day. Positive points: spacious room, great view, cleanliness of the room, breakfast buffet.
