Dear Dave,

 
Hello and Happy August!!!

How is your summer going? Are you keeping cool???

I've been having a great summer so far and I just got back from a road-trip to Edmonton/Calgary. It was great to see so many Alberta agents. Love ya - mean it!!!

Dixie didn't get to come all the way to Alberta, but she did come for part of the ride, as far as Grandma & Grandpa's place in Kamloops.

 
Dixie is side mirror
 


Dixie is a great little traveller, and she LOVES going in the car. Whenever she sees us starting to pack she knows something's up and she gets crazy and can barely contain her excitement.

I don't know about you, but I can totally relate. I get excited like that whenever I get to go to Mexico!!! But of course I don't stick my head out of the window of the airplane!!! HAHA
 
Anyways, have a great month. If you need anything regarding Real Resorts please contact me and if you need anything for El Cid Resorts then please contact Dave.  Adios Amigos!!!

Chat with you soon,

Hotel Fact Sheets

Real Resorts has a great selling tool for you!!! The Hotel Fact Sheets are designed specifcially for you, the travel agent, and they will make you feel like an instant expert on the properties.

THE ROYAL in Playa del Carmen MapReal Resorts has thought of everything you could possibly want/need to know about a spefiic hotel including; general description of the resort, list of exactly what's included in the All-Inclusive plan, detailed description of each suite category, description of all the restaurants and bars, suite lay-outs and even a detailed map of the resorts.

Westjet Vacations Destination Rep Talks about El Cid Resorts
Linda Gomez Cordova is Senior Westjet Vacations Destintation Experience Representative, and she recently answered questions about the Hotel Marina El Cid Beach & Spa Resort in the Mayan Riviera.


 
Linda Gomez Cordova

As a local destination expert what do you think in general of the quality of hotels in Cancun and the Riviera Maya?
In general, I think Cancun and the Mayan Riviera's quality of hotels is probably the best in Mexico , the beaches are the most beautiful beaches in the country, the quality and diversity of hotels is available for all kinds of people to match what ever needs and wants a person can ask for.

How about the quality and the diversity of activities that are available in the surrounding areas of our hotel?
This is one of the highlights of Cancun and the Mayan Riviera- there is something for everyone, adventure, history, night life, combinations of all put together, or if you just want to relax but enjoy the sights- excursions and activities are available for all. It doesn't matter if you are a family with young children, a newly wed couple, or a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary, there are activities available for all kinds, and again, the spectacular thing about this location is the quality, nothing but the best.

What is the success of this hotel in the Canadian Market? 
The one success of the El Cid is the customer service, not only is it a beautiful resort, which meets the needs for everyone, the service by far meets and exceeds our guests expectations. It's a fantastic place for families, young couples- really everyone!! 

If you would rank from 0 (low) to 10 (high) our guest satisfaction, what would our average ranking be? 
I would have to say with ease, the rank I personally would put on guest satisfaction would have to be between an 8 and a 9.
 
El Cid Tray on BedWhat type of clients do you feel should select our hotel for their vacation? (eg  families, couples, destination weddings, spa seekers, fishermen, scuba divers etc)
This is why this hotel is one of my personal favorites- all clients of all types would be happy here, with maybe the exception of people who want adults only. But this hotel, offers many different restaurants, activites, entertainment, room categories, beautiful beach, the Spa is lovely!, there is a pier and the location of this resort is in the most popular little fishing village in the area.

What do you feel are some of the unique features
of this resort?

The diving rock in the pool is a huge success with guests, the kids club is fantastic, the rooms are beautiful and clean, and large, the layout of the property - its not too large of a complex which allows guests to get to know the staff during their stay, the location is prime location, close to the airport, close to Cancun for shopping, you have Cancun 30 minutes in one direction and Playa Del Carmen 30 minutes the other direction. Prime location, easy access to leave the complex for the adventurous guests who want to use public transportation, or just to take a walk into the Puerto Morelos! The Platinum Club is a definite perk to a guests stay in the resort! These are just to name a few unique features.
