Ventus Ha at Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort
A recent addition to the El Cid resort campus, Ventus Ha opened in 2021, bringing a sophisticated vacation option to Puerto Morelos. That sophistication reaches its apex — literally — at Rüf, a spectacular adults-only rooftop pool bar. We’d forgive you if you ended up spending most of your trip at Rüf. It’s that seductive, with a chic atmosphere, panoramic views and creative cocktails. Kick back on a Balinese-style bed, stargaze using one of the bar’s many telescopes, enjoy the chill beats of a live DJ, indulge in a rubdown in the massage area … is this paradise?

Located by Jade Boutique, this sprawling pool area features a myriad of small, interconnected pools, dotted with vibrant Mayan sculptures, as well as other water features. Enjoy a bite from Balché during the day, or Frida’s Cantina at night, or savor a delicious cocktail from the pool bar.
