Gulf Coast of Mexico hotel rooms a the El Cid

"We booked with Hotel Marina El Cid but when we arrived to the property we learned that the resort actually consists of three sections that are listed as separate hotels on Expedia: Marina El Cid, Ventus, and Ventus Ha' (listed from oldest to the newsest). Each hotel has a unique architecture & very distinct from others but all guests can use any facilities across all three hotels! Ventus Ha' opened Dec'24 and this is where we were given our room. It is furthest from the ocean deeper in the jungle. It is a short walk to the beach or you can call for a golf cart ride any time of the day. We were happy to be away this time around because of the algae bloom/awful smell from the ocean. Our room at Ventus Ha' was spacious, hammock on the balcony, spacious bathroom. The bed was firm so were the pillows (not a big fan of those). Room was cleaned well once a day and all towels were changed regardless the fact that we hung them and didn't mind to keep them for a few days. Each hotel has its own restaurant set but everybody could go to any of them. Reservations are necessary and concierge will make the reservations for two days ahead. We realized that Ventus Ha' had the best two restaurants (Japanese and Aakat) so we stayed close to our hotel for breakfast and lunch. We also booked those two restaurants for dinner twice. Buffets were fairly small, didn’t have much of a variety of food but definitely basic breakfast options. Staff everywhere is friendly. Overall excellent experience!"

"Unforgettable Adults-Only Experience – Temptation Cancun Delivers! If you’re looking for a truly unique adults-only vacation with a sexy, fun, and energetic vibe, Temptation Cancun Resort is the place to be! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the vibrant atmosphere, welcoming staff, and endless entertainment. The resort’s design is bold and modern – exactly what you’d expect from a place that promises to break the mold. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and come with everything you need, including great views and sexy mood lighting that really sets the tone. What really sets Temptation apart, though, is the people and the vibe. The staff are amazing – super friendly, attentive, and always making sure you’re having a great time. Whether it was the bartenders at Bash, the entertainment team by the Sexy Pool, or the waiters at SHE, everyone went above and beyond. Food & Drinks: The dining options are surprisingly diverse and delicious for an all-inclusive resort. From casual beach bites to gourmet dining, everything we tried was top-notch. And the drinks? Always flowing and always strong. Entertainment: This is where Temptation really shines. Day or night, there’s always something happening – foam parties, themed nights, live shows, DJs, and more. It’s impossible to be bored. And if you’re feeling adventurous, the topless-optional policy at the pool adds an exciting twist in a judgment-free environment. Pro Tip: Embrace the theme nights! Pack accordingly and"

"The food was very nice! Lots of options to choose from. "

"Beautiful place! Amazing staff. Well designed. The people working there are great. Everyone of them. The view is breathtaking. The only thing bothering us was the sewer smell. At times was very strong. Overall great experience. Definitely we will coming back. Thanks Riu and everyone make easy and enjoyable our stay. "

"Really enjoyed my stay here at this property, wish I could have had more time to explore it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The areas were kept clean. The Xplor park was my favorite! However I wish it was communicated or advertised somewhere that Xoximilco and Xel Ha was a great distance from Xcaret Arte Having an hour plus trip there and back wasn’t in my schedule and took away time from enjoying the Xcaret Arte property as I had planned. I definitely will be taking another trip to Xcaret Arte! "

"Perfect"

"The food at the à la carte restaurants was quite good, but the buffet could be improved, as the food was often served cold. It would be beneficial to add more warmers to keep the dishes at a proper temperature."
