Our stay at the El Dorado was amazing. The staff went above and beyond what we had expected. We were made to feel like royalty from the moment we arrived. Our oceanfront suite was perfect. Room 5527 was peaceful, and had a gorgeous view. The food was also outstanding. The variety of restaurants available was perfect. We never had to... more

My wife and I just returned last night from a week at the El Dorado Royale. It was our first all-inclusive, and I had read the reviews on Trip Advisor. Some, the really negative ones, had us a bit nervous. I can only wonder if they stayed at the same resort. This one is fabulous. The staff was absolutely great.... more

My wife and I went on vacation to El Dorado Royale in November 2009. We were not happy at all. Whatever they show you on the internet it is not the same. Rooms are horrible, they smell, and there is a lot of humidity. The AC wasn’t working, the Jacuzzi didn’t work. It was so hard to ask them to... more

I have to say EDR was the best place I have ever stayed. There are not enough adjatives to describe this place.My now husband and I went to the resort Oct 28- Nov 7 for our Wedding. We were picked up in Cancun and from the minute we entered into the resort we were awe struck. The long drive way... more

I just returned from my honeymoon a few days ago. Although we dealt with some tropical storm action, this place was fantastic. Great restaurants, super service, nice rooms, beautiful grounds, a pleasant and private beach. This is a great place to relax. The Italian restaurant is the best, but they are all worth trying. All of the staff goes out... more

We went to El dorado royale in september 2009 for our honeymoon. We stayed in the oceanfront jacuzii jr suite and loved it. We are a very young couple (20 and 20) and at first we were scared after reading some of the reviews but after visiting this hotel we were extremely excited and satisfied. We didnt have a single... more

While there, I stayed in a Casita Suite and spent time at each of the Karisma properties: El Dorado Casitas Royale, El Dorado Royale, El Dorado Maroma, El Dorado Seaside Suites, Azul Sensatori, Azul Beach and the Villa Carola.... more

The weather was great, but the resort was lacking from the last time. Restaurants closed, spotty service, and really high prices in the spa (which had below average treatments). We are members, and first off the sales department puts the really hard sell on you because they need cash. If you go, expect the hard sell promising everything, and the... more
