The swimming pools and access to the ocean were fantastic. The quality and variety of restaurants included in the all inclusive made it an excellent experience.
Cid Castilla was very clean, staff was very attentive, rooms are a great size, AC and fan worked great! Plenty to do around. Only bad thing in order to get a chair at pool you must go down at 7am to get your towel and put on a chair like everyone does or else they are taken all day. Beach is super full every day, no room to lay and relax.
The hotel is very old and there was bugs in the bed and roaches in the room. Food was disappointing. Staff was very good tho.

Beautiful property with great customer service & very friendly staff. Only thing I didn’t like was that there are no microwaves & no mini fridges in the room.
Room was full of mosquitos
Customer service was horrible
Service by the pool was bad
Theres nothing nice about this hot
Really bad experience
I got charge $15 per person like a surcharge when we checked in .. expedia didn’t notify me about this extra charge
Ideal for families. Food was excellent considering an all inclusive resort, alcohol drinks could be better. I didn't like the resort fee and no free internet.
Half of our stay had a conference of young adults that partied all night by the pools, hotel staff did nothing

It was very noisy at night people knocking at our door the staff there did nothing to tell people to keep it down due to guest. These did no only happen one it happen 3 nights in a roll. My experience was terrible staying there I would not recommend it any on my staff. I stayed in other place in the are much nicer place to stay.
Excelente hotel, de verdad que el trato de cada uno del personal es muy humano y amigable, la comida y variedad muy buenas. Los shows en la pérgola muy buenos, igual que las actividades en el día y los jueguitos para niños. El único pero sería el tema de que no hay wifi más que para 2 equipos y nunca pudimos accesar, pero es lo único que vi que podría mejorar. Sin duda regresaré al mismo lugar
