El Cid is a nice hotel - the room we were in was spacious with a living room kitchen combo, and an attached bedroom. There was a large shower as well as over sized tub in the bedroom area. Small fridge to put drinks and food in was included, plus all dining utensils i.e. forks, knifes, spoons, glasses... The room's overlook the west side of the island. There is a decent sized beach plus scuba shop on grounds. The water can only be descibed as God's swimming pool with 100' + visibility! There is a large roped of area that El Cid has to snorkel or swim in. Food at El Cid was very good, and the service was excellent. The only negative I could give would be that it takes a while for the food, but it is the same all over the island - I assume it is due to the freshness of the food (all fresh tasty ingredients). I would definitely return to El Cid La Ceiba!
The vacation was really good, the service was great, and the hotel (room, pools, beach) were really good. The only thing we didn't like was the food. There weren't many options for food, one restaurant only and the same menu for the 8 days we were there.
