I love this property because it is directly on the water and it's a great spot to snorkel. I also like the fact that it's near the cruise ships and there is a lot of activity to watch, but not be in the middle of the chaos. It's clean and a safe area. It doesn't seem over busy and you can always find a chair at the beach area.

Great location!

Although their website said WiFi for 4 devices we had to fight to get that. Twice it was lost and we had to get new passwords. Asked us to come to the front desk. We were always left wondering if we would have a face cloth or hand towel each day. They would bring us one, but just replace what you take out.

We bought the all inclusive when we arrived and paid way to much for what we got. The buffet wasn’t great for dinner and the drinks were weak. I wouldn’t purchase the all inclusive again. The price of WiFi was way too much, but we needed the WiFi.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The whole place is run down, ou need to pay for wifi per device, hidden costs all over the place, only one staff member was approachable (Bianca at front desk) The whole property is poorly run. I had a fold out bed, which was hard as rock and when you pay good money, you deserve comfort, luckily I was moved. There were mountainous cruise ships straight outside each day blocking the view. This hotel would be last on my list. It spoiled the whole experience of the holiday for me.

El Cid wants to charge $12 per day PER DEVICE for internet-RIPOFF! One small elevator in operation to serve 12 floors, so be prepared to wait, or take the small emergency stairs. Second elevator is under construction/renovation so enjoy the arc welding and hammer drilling while this is underway. Bed in our room was a Murphy Bed that folded down from it's cabinet and very firm. Required 4 in person requests over two days to get extra pillows to make the Murphy bed comfortable enough to sleep.

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

Overall we had a great stay. First off the staff is great and very responsive. The hotel grounds are great and there is a lot to do. Since we were there over the holidays, they had some special nights and dinners planned out. Our stay started off great but after a week in the standard room, my boyfriend started experiencing watery eyes, sneezing, wheezing and couldn't breath. Our bed felt so moist getting into it (like a damp napkin). None of our clothes would ever completely dry. Also, the people next to us were smoking and the smoke kept coming into our room. We couldn't even leave the door open. He has bad allergies so a mix of the room and the smokers put him in a bad position. The staff did address the smoking problem. We finally upgraded to a 1 bedroom and it was night and day. He could finally breath and we didn't feel the moistness in the air. I loved having a desk to work at and a microwave to reheat food. We loved that we could just go downstairs and snorkel or layout at the pool. The wait staff was great and making sure we were taken care of pool side. I did love the breakfast the best. They have an all you can eat buffet but we still ordered a from the menu. The dinner and lunch menu is good. We ate out at other restaurants a lot so we did not get the all inclusive. All in all, we did have a great stay, minus the massive amounts of un-normal rain. I would give them a 4 star. Would have been 5 but they need to upgrade some of the rooms.

We have stayed at 3 different properties in Cozumel. Park Royal: nice room but terrible food. Hotel Cozumel: room was dated but comfortable and Good Food. El CID: The best! The room was clean and comfortable. The food was great (I always stick to fish, chicken, or pork in Mexico as a rule, no beef.) Every plate of food I had was fantastic. The service was great. Bed was comfy and the snorkeling was fantastic! I highly recommend El CID.

The property and Room needed general maintenance. The curtain didn't close all the way. The shower head was faulty. The bathroom faucet only had hot water, which became unsafe pretty fast. Front door wouldn't properly close unless you slammed it. Food was hit or miss at the restaurant as well as the wait staff. Some were above and beyond others were lacking.

This property is next to the cruise ship port, perfect for business travelers visiting the ports. A bit out dated decor but really nice staff, clean, and restaurant has good food. Area doesn’t have much to do since it’s not located on a real beach front area or the main town of Cozumel. It works for a quick trip and/or Business trip
