Independent in Cozumel from NZ$142

"The resort is smaller which we prefer. Service very good and food was awesome! Love the location, can walk to shops and snorkel right at the resort. It is a bit dated, but we really dont care. If you like new and fancy, then not a good fit. Hope to go back! "

"Older property but updated for the most part. Staff is wonderful, beach is amazing, food was good. Buffet for breakfast had a lot of choices. Plenty of beach chairs. The restaurants for evening dining were good too. Very relaxing spot. "

"Love the beach. Great snorkeling right on site."

"I came to Cozumel for dive training and had a great experience at El Cid. The staff were very friendly, the room was spacious with everything I needed, and the cleaning staff took care of the room every day. I paid for the all-inclusive meal plan and enjoyed all meals and drinks - worth the month. I might consider upgrading to elite to get the butler service. Overall, It was a great experience and I’ll be back. "

"nice entertainment, good staff, nic snorkeling from beach, good ceviche,, relaxed"

"We love their location, including the hotel park with friendly coati and iguanes, natural magroves, sandy beach with snorkeling for fishes, stingrays, sometimes stars (local Maldives); great service and good food. Visited and enjoyed second time in a year."

"Great place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle. The Explorean does not have TVs in the room (part of the living experience) but has solid wi-fii- throughout the Exlorean and Fiesta Americana resourt areas. Hospitality, food and service were great - all with way from the reception team to the various restaurant experiences ( Asian, Italian, Mexican, Cevecheria, and quick order foods). Highly recommend this all inclusive resort. Also, include with the Explorean package were great daily activities (snorkeling, bike ride to a lagun, tequila tasting, visit to beach park with live seal show, buggy drives around the island, and shopping."
