Mexico and Central America Fishing Vacations

We had a fantastic time at the El Cid Marina PM with our grandchildren despite my complaints. We have stayed at this resort in 2019 & 2023 with grandchildren as well and we returned due to how wonderful a place it is for youths. What we noticed this last trip was that our building #19 was dirty. There was Coati (Mx racoon) feces in the stairwell for more than three days, it's likely still there!! We also found some of the staff unfriendly, especially Karin who is a hostess and also a server named Ananis at the Dolores. The quality of the food and the cookery of food is sub par. While at the buffet my grandson went for a scoop of vanilla ice cream, he was given a hollowed out scoop. He requested another and was refused! At a buffet!!! I question the maintenance of this building as well as the balcony rail was wobbly on our third floor room. The chairs in the dining rooms and the lobby are filthy. This resort is run down, they should spend a little cash on the "old" part and stop on the Ventos side. Reminded me of the shabbiness like at the El Cid in Mazatlan. We paid cash for the extra fees and then those fees were charged to our credit card, beware.....do not give them cash. I am sad to say that we will never attend at an El Cid again due to these reasons.

Very clean room and bathroom/showers were lovely. Cleaning staff were prompt and friendly. Restaurant and concierge staff were very friendly and the food at the Mereva restaurant was above average. Especially loved the fish and shrimp tacos. Pizza was great too.

Only one restaurant. Really nice room and pool. Nothing else there. Water didn’t work for 1.5 days. Elevators didn’t work for 2 days. Air conditioning didn’t work for a day. Pool bar was closed the whole time. No other bars or restaurants.

Let’s start with the pros: Nice and cozy homely place Not too crowded Nice beach Nice staff Now cons: Chef Christian was horrible, not cooperative even with kids Refused to let us take a jelly sandwich for a full day tour Front staff won’t allow outside cabs if you don’t hire their recommended services Water was not sufficient or bottles not available anywhere on the property

We had the most wonderful week! The resort is absolutely beautiful with stunning ocean views perfect for whale watching! The breakfast was a big hit with my family each morning.

The grounds were clean and spectacular, and the room was fantastic. We had a garden with a partial ocean view, which was very private. We loved the different pools, restaurants, great drinks, and excellent food. The staff were outstanding, the service was superb, (the bellman Arnulfo [blue eyes] was helpful and stepped up to help out with transportation). Housekeeping noticed that we were celebrating a birthday, and they had a pleasant surprise in the room, complete with balloons and a "Happy Birthday" sign. That made the day even more special; it was just beautiful! Can't wait to go back.

We enjoyed our entire stay at the St. Regis!! Everything was perfect!

Safe, friendly staff.
