El Cid Marina Beach Hotel

Great hotel with great pricing and great service

Amazing resort with friendly staff.

The staff was amazing. It really made our stay excellent. Luis at breakfast every morning was an amazing server. Diane in the Concierge lounge was so helpful. Jesus at the shuttle was always so welcoming and knowledgeable. We loved the open air style of the resort, no huge buildings blocking our view. The Marina hotel was so great. We cannot wait to come back.

Everything was amazing!!!! 10/10 recommend. Will return!!!

The pool was the best! Clean and warm! The views were great. The kids loved to play in ocean all day. There was plenty of shade for everyone to cool off. The staff was super helpful and friendly. This was first time in Mexico and it something I would recommend.

My daughter and I had a great time at El Cid Marina. We love the vibe of the resort vs a big hotel. Staff was amazing! We had a great time with at the pool and activities hut. Never had an issue finding a chair. The sunsets are unbelievable! It’s nice being able to visit the sister resorts as well for a full range of resort activities, food and entertainment.

I would like to give a huge shout out to Olivia Vazquez, our chambermaid who took amazing care of us while we were at Marina Elcid. She went above and beyond to make us welcome and did so many things that made us feel very special, she folded our kleenex so beautifully, she made a swan out of towels for our bed with red heart balloons and left us notes, she folded out kitchen towels into the shape of a basket and everytime we saw her she had the most fabulous smile and greeting for us ! She genuinely made us feel special and cared for. The cleanliness of our room was top notch and in fact the whole resort was amazing at cleanliness. Olivia Vazquez and her work ethic is what makes a resort like Marina Elcid so attractive, Huge Kudos to Olivia, we can't wait to go back and hopefully see her again. Thank you Carolyn and Jerry Morrison
