Located on the picturesque shores of Riviera Maya, the award-winning Marina El Cid Spa and Beach Resort is the ideal destination for families planning a getaway full of fun in the sun. Kick back and relax by the white-sand beach and cool off with a dip in the sprawling 22,000-square-foot pool featuring cascading waterfalls, a swim-up bar and in-water loungers. Mini-vacationers will have a blast at the on-site kids club while the whole family can try out exciting non-motorized water sports like windsurfing, kayaking and paddle boarding. Cast off from the resort’s marina and try your hand at snorkelling, scuba diving and sport fishing or treat yourself to a relaxing massage at the El Cocay Spa ($). Savour a variety of delectable cuisine options at restaurants offering everything from fresh seafood served up with sweeping marina views to classic Italian specialties and Asian-Mediterranean fusion dishes paired with the perfect glass of red or white from the wine cellar. After a full day of fun in the sun, retire to spacious accommodations with well-appointed amenities including options that can sleep families of five or more. For an elevated vacation experience, upgrade to Platinum Club room categories for enhanced inclusions like guaranteed oceanview accommodations, exclusive beachside palapa huts, butler service and a pillow menu.
