Hotel Marina El Cid Offers Family Adventure Package

Through June 30, the 342-room, all-inclusive Hotel Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort, located about 20 minutes from the Cancun airport, is offering the Maya Discovery Family Adventure Package. The promotion offers discounts of up to 30% and includes three excursions.

The Adventures: The Maya Discovery Family Adventure includes three expeditions:

• Arrecife Day Trip: This trip takes guests on a sailing cruise to the white sandy shores of Playa Maroma, cited by the Travel Channel as one of the world's most beautiful beaches. Travelers spend the afternoon swimming, snorkeling and kayaking through the clear turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.

• Snorkeling Trip: This excursion explores underwater life in the protected Puerto Morelos National Reef Park. Located 500 yards offshore from Hotel Marina El Cid, Puerto Morelos is the world's second largest barrier reef system. Your family will get up-close views of exotic sea life, including brightly colored tropical fish, sea turtles, stingrays, purple sea fans, coral and more.

• Chichen Itza Day Trip: Travelers visit these Maya ruins, recently named one of the wonders of the world. The famous temples and pyramids here are more than 1,500 years old. Chichen Itza's main attraction is the central pyramid, the massive El Castillo (the castle).

What It Includes: Each of the Maya Discovery Family Adventure excursions includes transportation and lunch. The Chichen Itza tour leaves from the lobby, while the snorkeling and sailing tours depart from the El Cid Marina, one block from the resort.

Price: The excursions package is a total of $150 USD per person, including taxes, in addition to the all-inclusive rate, down from $215 per person for these excursions booked separately.

The Maya Discovery Family Adventure Package is valid for guests who pre-book and pre-pay for a junior, one-, two- or three-bedroom suite. It also applies to Platinum Club guests.
