We traveled with 2 other couples, all celebrating our 10 year anniversaries. Upon arrival we were greeted with champange, a nice touch and taken to our rooms- we stayed in the casitas. I do not feel the level of service was any more spectacular, then those who stayed in the the villas. Having call ahead reservations is a nice touch,... more

We stayed at the el dorado royale in the casita suites for 2 weeks. The casitas are more expensive but we thought it was worth the extra money. The rooms were amazing, big high ceilings, very clean and fantastic views. You have a jacuzzi in every room, outdoor shower and get maid service twice a day. Once is in the... more

This really is a fantastic resort. On arrival you are greeted with cold wet cloths and champagne, check in is smooth and we were given a gift of a t shirt. A buggy bus take you to your room with your luggage. Even before you get to your room you know you have booked the right resort, once in your... more

Me and my wife had an overdue honeymoon, so we booked 2 weeks when 1 would have been enough. The staff are friendly, saying 'Hola' 20 times a day certainly built a thirst. There is a definite difference between Americans and Brits, with the Americans seemingly more catered for. Perhaps it was the fact they come from a society where... more

We travelled to the El Dorado Royale on the 1st October and were expecting a high standard following reading all thereviews, and we were not disappointed! We are used to Caribbean 5 star, but we usually leave disappointed. At the El Dorado Royale we had a great holiday - yes there are a few negatives, but these were minor and... more

My boyfriend and I recently returned from a 6 day stay @ El Dorado Royale. The landscaping was beautiful and the up-keep to the entire resort was beyond impressive. It was gorgeous! The staff was friendly and catered to all our needs. Read a review before we left that recommended bringing $1 bills to tip. VERY HELPFUL! We recommend! We... more

We booked this hotel due to its being an adult only resort but also we're divers and we wanted a hotel with a dive school on site. When we arrived we were asked to pay a $500 deposit to the reception for any incidentals which we were not told about and so we refused to pay it. Then the following... more

We were counting down the days to our honeymoon which we just came back from 7 nights at El Dorado 10/10 - 10/17. I worried myself silly about the weather and even posted a message to other travellers familiar with the area and everyone said showers were forecasted every day but rarely occur (with the exception of last year which... more

My husband and I just arrived home from 7 days at El Dorado Royale. We stayed 3 nights in a Jr. Swim Up Suite (Villa section) and 3 nights in a Casita Swim Up Suite (Casita's Royale section).

We came here for our honeymoon on a trade-in for our timeshare and by recommendation from a travel agent. After booking I read some of the reviews on here and got worried.....but do not worry! I don't know who these people are that gave this place bad reviews but whatever they experienced is the complete opposite of the time we... more
