The whole Resort is great. Everybody is so nice here!!! You have activities and a great time, if you want to relax, do party or just drink at different bars. The food is amazing. I can’t stop eating. So they have a bar on wheels, where Angel is doing authentic and extremly delicious drinks. - YOU HAVE TO TRY. He’s a great mixologist!!! Thank you Angel! 🤗 A shout out to our Concierge Estef!!! Thank you for giving us the greatest recommendations. ❤️ And thank you to Ernesto the Besto, who is always helpful with everything. Javi was our Tourguide at the Jungle Rock Tour and Played afterwards waterpolo with us! We had such a great Time! Thank you! Benny made us some palm Animals and gave us two Pens embroidered with our names. And he showed us the the Resort crocodile - Frida. It was so nice to see! Fernando and Andre are the Showmasters!! Mexican idol is soooo much fun with them! Andre were at the archery as well - it was so much fun and the first time with a bullseye for my boyfriend Erik. Laly and Noemi were at volleyball and water polo as well with us. Great girls to get the mood right!!! Thank you for having such great conversations and playing with you. Gabrielle and Karen are the hostess of the restaurant la isla. Gabrielle spoke some German with us and gave us a great time! We tried Spanish as well, so we have to come back to teach each other more. Karen Made almost everything possible for us in la Isla. Felipe was our waiter he was awesome!!! Daniel is such a sweetheart, we had some activities with him, it was sooooo much fun. So wie can‘t put all the names down! But we had such a great Time, it feels like paradise, because everybody shows you a great time! And if you want to know them better you have great conversations. Just a little FYI: maybe It’s because we’re Europeans, but the Italian restaurant we wouldn’t recommend! So all restaurants are great. We would say the best one is La Isla!!!! 😍 And La Fuentes has good food. But listen closely - the wine pairing is 45$ p.P. and (we would say) isn’t that good for that price. It’s just a sip per glass and the wine isn’t worth it. But there are always differences of opinion! Beware hotel shops are incredibly expensive af!!!! Thank you for everything and Thank you for having us. Greeting from the guys from Munich - Lara & Erik

Juan, Michelle, & Andre were amazing hosts/guides on our bike tour through the jungle and the Mayan cooking experience was wonderful! The tacos were my favorite part and the Mayan tutorials were so neat to watch! The bike ide was a nice amount- not too long, not too short! Would definitely recommend on your trip to Cancun!

The hospitality is unmatched here, everyone is so nice and makes you feel so welcome from the minute you walk into the lobby. We went on the jungle bike tour as well and it was a great experience and just the right amount of exercise. Juan Michelle and Andre took us on the tour and they were the best!

Wonderful service, very clean! Weather was perfect and we actually stayed 2 days extra. We loved Mauricio in the Coco breakfast restaurant. Overall a very good experience. Didn’t get Montazumas revenge either.

El Dorado Royale was a wonderful getaway for my wife and I. This was our first all inclusive vacation and was very much worth our time and investment. The grounds are beautiful, very safe and welcoming. The staff are amazing - very welcoming, warm and attentive to all your needs. The plethora of daily activities was great with variety of volleyball, archery, mixology, pool, ping pong or just a nice walk around the property. The only criticism was that the rooms were a bit “tired” and might use some upgrades, but pleasant and comfortable nonetheless. Particular staff that were very friendly included Ruth, Mimi, Laly, Fernando and Daniel. If you speak a little Spanish, use it as it really lights up the faces of our Mexico brothers and sisters.

We went for a girls/birthday trip and had a fantastic time. Our rooms were beautiful! The food was better than I expected, tasty and fresh! The entire staff made us feel welcome and comfortable. Its so relaxing, so many available beach beds and spaces to chill. The bars were top shelf And the night life is popping! I want to give a special shout out to my Butler Ivan. He went above and beyond to make sure my dinner reservations were in tact and that I was having fun! Also want to thank my evening Butler Elizabeth! Restaurant staff April, Jouse, Alejandro and Chef Neftalí from Haab. We also want to thank Jose (I think his name is Jose-he is pretty new there and counted for us in Myan). He always made sure we had a mice table and was fun to talk to. The fun pool staff and Lali. Drivers Enrique and Luis. Enrique knew what time we usually went to breakfast and was there every morning waiting for us! Everyone was super nice, so thank you all! I’m picky and had a great time, I think you will enjoy it too!

Excellent place, absolutely gorgeous. The best part of all of it is the service by the servers, in particular Mauricio, he is the host of the restaurant by the LA Isla pool. What a gentleman, sweet kind, and extremely professional. ❤️

The property of the resort is very large and has a nice path for runners and walkers to get in exercise if you are interested in that. A full loop of the path around all 3 sections of the resort is probably over 2 miles long. Everything at the resort was very clean and comfortable. The employees work hard to make the resort enjoyable for the guests and I would like to give a shout out to a few of them. Jesus, the fitness trainer was very knowledgeable, personable, and made the training sessions enjoyable. Andre led the bike tour, letting us know many interesting facts and even played me in ping pong. Alma from Generations brought enthusiasm to all of the activities and made the Kayak Tour fun. Other staff such as Axel the concierge and Mario the shuttle driver always have a smile on their face and our willing to help you out when needed. The food is also great with many different options and even though I caught some sort of stomach bug towards the end of my trip I would visit again.
