Eco park with zip line, plus a Mayan spa on Cozumel
The recently renovated El Cid La Ceiba Beach Hotel is on the south side of Cozumel, just three miles from downtown San Miguel. Though cruise ships pepper the aqua horizon, the hotel is in the center of lush jungle and hosts the Babieca Dive Center on site, which leads supervised excursions to the most beautiful cave and cavern (“cenote”) diving in the world -- coral reefs, too. Fly High Adventures Eco-Park is the hotel’s new eco-park featuring six zip line platforms and six rugged trails, surrounded by jungle. A Mayan-influenced spa has a four-page menu of treatments which also are enjoyed beachside, if one prefers.Highlights
- Eco-park featuring six zip line platforms and six rugged trails
- Babieca Dive Center on site
- El Cocay Massage & Temezcal Center offers beachside massages
- Two restaurants and two bars on site
- Three miles from downtown San Miguel
Rooms
Rich wood and geometric modern art give the 60, recently renovated guest rooms and suites of the El Cid La Ceiba Beach Hotel an elegant touch. Choose from a studio room with a double bed and space-saving Murphy queen bed (or a king bed and sleeper sofa) and fully equipped kitchenette, or a one-bedroom suite which also has two beds -- one of which being the disappearing Murphy bed.Regardless of room type, all guests rooms have individual climate control, ceiling fan, coffee maker, in-room safe, private balcony or terrace, satellite TV, an iron and ironing board and radio alarm clock.
Dining
Get romantic at the upscale La Chopa Restaurant, and browse their cultivated wine list or sip a classic pina colada. Trattoria Da Salvatore serves crisp, sizzling brick-oven pizzas. Two plasma TVs provide entertainment at the El Cid La Ceiba Beach Hotel’s La Chopa Oceanfront Bar, and a swim-up bar is adjacent to the Jacuzzi.Recreation
Mayan and other presumably ancient massages, steam baths and healing treatments (the menu of services spans four pages) are dispensed at El Cid La Ceiba Beach Hotel’s El Cocay Massage & Temezcal Center. Or, a massage may be enjoyed beachside. A fitness center shares the spa’s space.Transportation

Exceptional staff
Front desk and restaurant/bar staff were outstanding. We were treated like family and frequent guests even though this was only our second time staying at this hotel. We were given our choice of room and our all inclusive package was upgraded by the General Manager. Room, food and drinks were excellent. All staff that we interacted with were super friendly and efficient. We will come back.

Needs more variety of All-Inclusive food
First, the food was very good; the all-inclusive was from a menu that was different that the one given to pay as you eat customers. The hotel just needs to have one menu for dinning with a wider variety of choices. Also, the hotel seems to cater to a mature clientele, 40+ with no children.

Good value for anyone!
This is the fourth time since May 2011 that I have stayed at this hotel. I was there May, August, November 2011 and February 2012. The hotel is nice and clean, the staff friendly and helpful, and the restaurant serves good food for a reasonable price. The breakfast buffet is particularly good. I travel with my father as we are both scuba divers and we have a suite with a kitchen. Although we often eat out, the kitchen is very nice for storing water, drinks, and making hot tea at night if you wish.

Long walk from hotel
Casa Denis and Jeannie's are both excellent places to eat. Casa Denis has great fajitas and I really enjoyed the filet mignon at Jeannie's. Both are well worth the walk into town or the $7 cab ride from El Cid.
