We really enjoyed our stay at El Cid. We booked through Expedia and were treated extremely well during our stay. There are different colored wristbands and our wristband afforded us to go to any restaurant, and even order off a menu at the ala carte restaurants, and have top shelf liquor. Room came with robes and slippers for an extra touch. We truly enjoyed the upgrade to an oceanfront room and enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to the waves. Very convenient location with ability to walk to many place, or getting a taxi was very easy. We will definitely recommend El Cid and plan to come back in the future.

The pool staff and dining staff (especially in the buffet) were very good. I was a little disappointed that we couldn’t really “play” at the other El Cid resorts. I found the public washrooms were not as clean as I would have expected. The food at the Argentinian restaurant was fabulous.

We got extra perks because we booked through Expedia. The Al a Carte Restaurants were very good for dinners and easily booked through the Elite Club. We could go to 5 pools, but only 2 were heated. Great gym, beautiful pools. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Buffets were disappointing and the Pergola Restaurant was like a cafeteria, no atmosphere. Not much for evening entertainment.

The buffets were average/below average. I had hair and egg shells in my AM eggs. Dinners at restaurants were good. No music on the beach so the brass bands (tuba, trombone etc) would blast super loud and try to play louder than the next band. Disturbing. We couldn’t hear the beach or waves. The buildings are a little run-down but the cost was low on the stay so it was what we expected.
