Celebrate Sea Turtle Season with El Cid Vacations Club in Riviera Maya

ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- El Cid Vacations Club; Mexico's award-winning travel club and hospitality group is excited for its guests staying at Hotel Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort, and its newest property, Ventus at Marina El Cid to witness the wonders of Sea Turtle nesting season on the beaches of the Riviera Maya.

Every year, from May to September multiple species of sea turtles including the Green Turtle, the Loggerhead, and the Hawksbill make the dangerous journey to the shores of the beaches of the Riviera Maya to lay their eggs. According to sea life experts, turtles navigate their way using the earth's magnetic field and are able to return to the exact place where they were born to lay their eggs. The average female sea turtle can lay up to 200 eggs at once and then buries them in the sand near the shoreline so they are protected. Once the eggs hatch roughly six weeks later, newborns make their first steps towards the ocean.

Located directly on the beach, both Hotel Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort and Ventus at Marina El Cid are ideal properties to stay at when visiting the Riviera Maya during Sea Turtle Nesting season. Not only does Hotel Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort and Ventus at Marina El Cid have luxurious accommodations, gourmet dining options, and endless activities for every type of traveler, but the resort group is also dedicated to conservation and environmental efforts. Earlier this year Hotel Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort was awarded with the Mexico Ministry of Tourism's highest certification of sustainability. El Cid Vacations Club and El Cid Resorts maintain eco-friendly practices such as on-site recycling, and its employees participate in various local conservation efforts, including sea turtle release programs.

There are only seven species of sea turtles in the world, and six of those can be found in Mexico. Members staying a Hotel Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort and Ventus at Marina El Cid can partake in a variety of tours to get up close and personal with sea turtles and other marine life including snorkeling and sailing adventures.

For close to fifty years, El Cid Resorts and El Cid Vacations Club have opened its doors to travelers from all over the world offering the best accommodations possible in Mexico's most popular travel destinations. With a keen eye for details and a dedication to treating all of its members like family, El Cid remains one of the best resort groups in Mexico.
