Ventus Ha at Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort - All Inclusive

Great experience overal

The Ventus Ha part of this El Cid complex is the newest and most chilled. There are 4 pools, 2 main pools and 2 rooftop infinity pools. The rooms are large and clean and housekeeping keep them that way. All the staff are friendly and helpful. I had the Platinum package, which comes with butlers to help you with reservations or whatever you want really. My butlers were Saul and You can eat in all of the restaurants across the El Cid complex, but my favourite was Aakat, the staff and food at this restaurant are the best! The Kobo is also good and you can ask for a vegetarian option here too. I also had lovely meals at Marina and Il de France. There are lots of activities such as, bike rides into town, aquafit, tai chi, spanish lessons, all free across the El Cid sites. Pool chairs were never an issue and bar service around the pool is okay. If I did have one area where I think they could improve, it would be the standard of the house wines. I was travelling by myself for this trip, so didn't want to buy a whole bottle for myself for the evening meal and had to stick to house wines. That said, staff aren't stingy with the wine and are always happy to top up if you like more than one glass with your meal. Ventus Ha is a great place to spend your vacation. I recommend it and will be coming again in the future. Thanks for a lovely stay.

The Staff is so nice and the food is good. I have been to Ventus/Ventus Ha 7 times and will return

Great stay at Ventus Ha. Family of 4 staying in a double double bedroom. Room was large enough for us and the double sinks outside the toilet and shower meant everything was more convenient. The staff were brilliant, massive shout out to Elvis (breakfast at A’akat) and Jorge (Waves Bar) who went above and beyond. We loved that the other two hotels were available, the pools there were much louder and busier, whereas the Ventus Ha pool was more tranquil. The food was really good, the lunch buffet had some great choice. Make sure you get to Kobo the teppenyaki restaurant. Downsides: it’s not a beach resort and it’s not particularly close to nearby amenities. Also could do with ice creams at poolside bar, but my waistline wouldn’t thank me for saying it. For the jumpy: there are wild crocodiles at the back of the resort (behind secure fences) and we bumped in to lizards and raccoons daily. The downstairs rooms at Ventus are covered by foliage, get an upper room if you can, suspect it’s pretty dark on floors 1&2.
