We just got back last week from a 7 day stay and need to rest after all the play time! We were a little leary of going with another couple and staying at a family friendly resort without taking our own kids, but it is what you make of it so we had a great time and made the most... More

Food, drinks, service, and pool were great. Two negatives. First the beach is short. The bottom is rocky/coral. And the beach is bracketed by rock jetties which detract from the vista. Second negative is the vacation club. I don't want to spend my vacation time listening to some sales pitch about a quasi-time share. But when I went to rent... More

If I had known better, I would have made another choice. THIS hotel is located between large swamps which means mosquitos day and night and unpleasant smell in the room. The bedding was comfortable. The al a carte restaurants were immaculate and classic. However, two buffets were found with flies, ants on the wall, and white worms on the salad... More

We were recommended to this place by Costco Travel, and at first we were really excited because our previous trip to the Majestic Resort in Dominican Republic was so perfect! However, our experience has so far been a nightmare. I cannot wait to go home. First off, Pick a different resort and save your money, but if you MUST go...BEWARE... More

Stayed there with a large group of friends and family, the hotel is nice, very nice rooms, clean...... The Platinum club is a waste of money, you supposed to have better drinks but they are ONLY available in a little room by reception, we ordered somewhere else they didn't have any! The staff at the platinum club were really helpful.... More

Highly recommended for families with preschool to school age children. We travelled with two other families and had a wonderful experience. The resort is small enough to not feel too crowded yet has all of the amenities of a much larger resort. We travelled with a 3,4,5 and 6 year old and all of the children loved the kids club... More

We fortunately arrived toward the end of the terrible rain. My heart went out to others that had 5 days of rain prior. Our taxi driver said he had lived there 16 years and never saw rain like this; not even with a hurricane. Our room was ready upon 2:00 PM arrival. Building 19; 5th floor. However, the elevator was...

I only have 2 somewhat negative thoughts about the Marina El Cid which I'll save for the end. Check in was a breeze. Arrived at 1 PM last Friday and our rooms were ready. 1631 and 1632 with outstanding views of the pool, beach and ocean. The rooms were spacious, and very clean. Maid service was excellent and the mini... More

I can find nothing to complain about. The rooms are great, the service is even better. The food is good everywhere on the resort, even the buffets were above par. The 24 hour room service that is included is pretty good too. El Alcazar was my favorite restaurant. This is a family resort, not the heavy partying or quiet and... More
