lls138 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I was hoping this was the Marina El Cid (see my previous win 1 year ago) which was lovely. This was a slightly different amenity lineup so I knew that there was a chance that it might not be and it wasnt but still very happy with result. About $65 cheaper per night than other website for this hotel and by far cheaper than other similar 4 star options in North Riviera Maya or Cancun for these dates.Ocean Coral All Inclusive ResortCarretera Chetumal, Puerto Morelos, QROO, 77580CheckInDate:Fri, Aug 30, 2013CheckOutDate:Tue, Sep 3, 2013Amenities ResortFree BreakfastBeachfront PropertyFood and Beverages IncludedA la Carte Dining OptionsWater Sports/Ocean Activities IncludedEvening Entertainment IncludedDaily Activities IncludedChildren's Activity ProgramFitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(s)Business CenterLaundry Facilities (self-service)High-Speed Internet AccessSpa ServicesSummary of chargesRate per night: $119.00 Tax recovery charges & fees: $22.70Total:$498.70 Link to comment

Hmmm...Couldnt find my Marina El Cid post from 2011-2012....Marina El Cid is a 4* in Puerto Morelos with amenities: (I booked in Jan 2012 for a June 2012 stay at $151 per night)ResortBeachfront PropertyFood and Beverages IncludedA la Carte Dining OptionsWater Sports/Ocean Activities IncludedEvening Entertainment IncludedDaily Activities IncludedFree BreakfastChildren's Activity ProgramFitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(s)Business CenterLaundry Facilities (self-service)Golf NearbySpa ServicesMain difference here is "golf nearby" for Marina El Cid and no mention of "high speed internet" that Ocean Coral had listed.

lls138 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 More info.I booked as 2 adults with the intent on bringing my 2 and 4 year old. I caled ahead to alert the hotel as to the number of people change. I learned that < 3 years is free. 3-11 had a 500 pesos ($40 per night) child fee. > age 11 is considered an adult. So that add $160 to my cost but still a very solid deal. I priced it out online and the best price I could find for this resort with 2 adult and 2 kids was $191 per night....so I saved $26 per night or $104 for the trip. Not too shabby. Link to comment
