Photos-Ventus at El Cid Marina

Here are photos from my November 2017 visit to Ventus at El Cid Marina Spa & Beach Resort in Puerto Morelos, Mexico — just outside Cancun along the Riviera-Maya coast.

The hashtag #TheFeelingOf is representative of the feeling that you’ll get to know as soon as you arrive at this amazing all-inclusive property. As you make your way through various social media, look for that hashtag to find more connections with this amazing resort.

Stuart Gustafson personally took each photograph displayed, and the copyrighted images are owned by him. If you click on a thumbnail image, you will see a larger and more complete picture that opens in a separate window.
