Love this!

if they were 3 sizes bigger I would!

Hi there! Congratulations!!! There really isn't much information about wedding at the El Cid out there... I know it can be frustrating!!! I visited the Now Jade resort last February, which is pretty much right next to the Marina El Cid. First off, I love the area of Puerto Morelos. It is more secluded and more green than Cancun, which I absolutely love. The beach is beautiful, and the water is gorgeous. When attempting to find a resort for the wedding, we almost went with Now Jade because we were familiar with it, but the pricing for the Marina El Cid came in better. The El Cid looks beautiful and our wedding planner/travel agent recommended it. She did a site visit recently and took many photos. The resort has a spanish feel to it, but yet it is modern looking, which seems to be hard to find in other resorts. We were looking for a family friendly resort for ours, as children are attending our wedding. We loved the main pool area... it looks like it would be a blast! The reviews for food seem to be good. Our main needs when choosing a resort were: Had to have nice, updated rooms... preferably with jacuzzi and ocean views Had to have a gazebo, or other option besides a beach wedding The food had to be good Had to have a nice beach Had to have decent pricing Had to be south of Cancun This resort met all of these needs... and I'm really happy we went with it. I am glad we are trying a new resort instead of going to one we have already been to... and I really like the look of this resort. I think it will make for some nice photos too The jetty is definitely pretty cool. It is quite long compared to others, and looked awesome in person. The wedding coordinator is helpful in answering questions. I am still trying to get a lot planned, but if I can help you in any way, let me know. I might have some answers. Any specific questions? Once again, Congratulations!! Jasmine

Love them.... But I'd need one more...

Oops! Forget about the camera

Hi there, In the photos, there are photos of two different lights. Which one is which? Are the small raffia fans still available? Where can you purchase film for the camera? Thanks!

The beach itself is beautiful!!! I havent actually stayed at the Marina El cid, but I did stay at Now Jade which is right next to the Marina El Cid, and there were some spots that were rocky, and some that had smooth sand. That's probably not too helpful. But the beach itself was lovely. and the hotel crew did an excellent job at trying to keep the beach clean.

I have received a bit more info from the WC. I think we will go with the alcazar or do a private dinner. I love the views at the marina restaurant, but it just doesn't seem formal enough.

I received some photos from the WC. Thanks anyways !

I received this email from another bride a little while ago. It has been awhile, and I was just looking back through some old emails to see if I had a budget or anything.   We had 73 people and I think the wedding costs paid to the hotel were about 7k?  But I could be off.  That would not include our hotel stay or anything.  I did find that I had these extra costs:  Violinist        350.00 DJ        700.00 Floor        600.00 H'orderves     1,050.00 Beach Set up     1,260.00  The above does not include the original "package"  and I think we had to pay per person for everyone above the package number of people.    I hope that helps.  If I happen to find a revised or more up to date budget I will be happy to pass it along.  Maybe this will help

Ok so I talked to the WC and she said that the dinner in a restaurant is SHARED. they set aside site some tables in the restaurant for your party.

Yes, does anyone know if the restaurant would be shared???

Hi there! I am getting married at the marina el cid on December 11 2012. Do you have any photos from your wedding? We are considering having our reception dinner at the el alcazar and party on the beach. Did you go to the marina restaurant? Was it nice? Any input, photos, advice, etc would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks! and Congratulations!

Hi! Sorry it has taken me so long to reply!!! We haven't decided what to do for our honeymoon yet! We might do the same as you and go to a different resort for some "us" time.. or, we have also discussed taking a honeymoon later and going somewhere different... that way we get a second trip out of it! I emailed the WC a while back, but haven't heard anything back yet... frustrating... Any other new developments in your planning???

Thank you very much! I sent you an email regarding a TTD session
