We stayed at El Dorado Royale in October 2008. It surpassed our expectations and we couldn't fault the hotel in any way. The food was sumptious, delicious and plentiful. The service was exceptional with many of the staff addressing us by name throughout our stay. We particularly enjoyed a birthday celebration in the Italian restaurant, where the champagne flowed, personalised... more

We recently had the pleasure of spending four nights and five days at the El Dorado Royale Resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico. This resort is a 5 star All Inclusive Adult Only Spa resort with a Gourmet Inclusive theme. And gourmet inclusive it was! Our stay was just wonderful! Here are some observations and grades based on our A -... more

We arrived to the hotel and we thought that it was missing the wow factor when you walked in. We headed down to eat but had to talk to several peoeple before we were able to do so. We ate at one of the 8 restaurants there and the food was pretty good. The drinks were watered down and when... more

My husband and I just got home to Texas from our 4 day anniversary trip Aug. 28 through 31. I can not say enough about our stay! For starters we arrived with a welcome glass of champagne and a breezy check-in. With the hotel staff being very friendly and helpful. We stayed in a Garden view suite that was absolutely... more

This was my first all-inclusive experience and I must say; "two thumbs up". Now, having said that, the overall experience was somewhat in the back of my mind, a bit contrived. Depending on which restaurant you choose your opinion will differ. Look, I don't think you'll ever have 5 star food quality at an all-inclusive, but I don't think it... more

My husband and I recently stayed at the El Dorado Royale Casitas for our honeymoon. I highly recommend this resort to newlyweds, couples, and adult group vacations. Both my husband and I were overwhelmed with the hospitality we received from the staff. They went above and beyond to ensure we had the best vacation. The food was amazing -it is... more

My husband and I spent our 6th time at El Dorado Royale this past February and just booked a return visit for Feb of 2010. We have looked at other resorts but still can not find one as nice with all the amenities, especially all the pools! We have always stayed at the casitas for their privacy and great service.... more

We have just come back from our stay at the El Dorado Roayle and we had a great time. While we were there the hotel was running at between 30 and 40% occupancy due to the swine flu scares. We stayed in a standard, garden view room, which is as basic as it comes. Our room was lovely. All rooms... more

We spent our honeymoon in one of the Casitas there last August and had the most fantastic, relaxing time! Excellent pools, bars, restaurants and we enjoyed the beach - despite the wave breakers, which look like massive beached whales in the water, but we knew about this before hand and had no issue with them! Take swim shoes though as... more

To start out let me say that we did not intend to stay at EDR for our honeymoon. We were booked with Azul Fives resort which was supposed to open 6 months before our honeymoon and never did. We booked directly through their website so we contacted them as soon as we read that Azul Fives wasn't going to open... more
