El Cid or Park Royal beach?

[39august]

Which one of these is the large beach area with blue loungers and dive shop only a block or so north of the International pier, please? I have been under the impression this was El Cid. However last week, looking closely, it appeared that the El Cid beach was very small and right next to Senor Frog's.

I think it is El Cid. The beach itself is VERY small but the property extends beyond that but the access is rocky, hence the snorkeling option. There is a deck round the restaurant above the water and then a set-back, man-made sandy area with the blue loungers above the rocks. The total property is not VERY large.

 

The Park Royal immediately next door, beyond dive station, has white loungers according to my photos.

 

Use Google images for further photos of both properties.

Thanks so much! So the blue loungers are El Cid. We will be there in Dec. and hope for decently warm weather.

Stayed at Park Royal a few days ago and loved it! $40, towels, 3 pools with swim up bars, small beach, snorkel, lunch, snacks, unlimited drinks. It was clean, very pretty and relaxing. Perfect place to chill. Don't know how to post pics or else I would.
