Mapimí Biosphere Reserve Tours

We were very pleased with our stay at Ventus at Marina El Cid. It was quieter than Marina El Cid side of the property but we could access everything. The staff was kind and accommodating. By booking “platinum” through Expedia we had added things such as a butler. The weather was not great for beach time (high winds) and it isn’t a great beach area in general. That’s probably my only negative comment. If you are traveling for the beach in particular, I’d look in a different area closer to Cancun where the beach is more useable. We were content with the pools and other offerings at Ventus so our stay was still great.

This was our second year at Marina. We went back because the price was right and we had such a great time last year. The resort itself is absolutely beautiful and very well-maintained. The kids pool is fantastic! The food is pretty good for an all inclusive resort, But it is difficult to make reservations at reasonable dinner hours. The service cannot be beat. Every single person was warm and friendly and very accommodating.

An honest review from someone who doesn't usually go to All-Inclusive. We spent over Easter with three kids (7,5,4) and had a blast. The water slides were a huge hit; the beach was very nice, and kids played in the waves and boogie-boarded. The pools were also very nice, and you had choices between the "louder pool" and the calmer one. There were other activities for the kids to do throughout the day, which was nice. The staff was great; I only had positive experiences with all of them. The room was good and did the job. The food was iffy at times. Breakfast was OK with all the staples. The lunch at Labamba was burgers and hotdogs. It was not ideal for parents, but the kids liked it. We were lucky to have dinner most nights at the Ala-cart restaurants, which were perfect. We didn't have food for two nights, and it was not good. There was nothing for kids to eat at seafood night, and sometimes, the food was not edible. We knew this going in. The drinks were great as well, and there was a good selection. Overall, this place is excellent for the price; kids had so much fun, as did adults. If you don't get reservations at the restaurants, consider a short cab to many restaurants around.
