The room was spacious and clean. The staff we encountered were nice and helpful for the most part. The grounds were well kept, and the resort overall was beautiful. The food and drink were good as well. We had a swim up room and found it to be more like a lazy river where other guests could swim through from the main pool, but we appreciated the quick access from our room and lounging chairs and table outside the room. The dinner at Fuentes was quite as interesting dinner/cooking experience that I would recommend.

The entire facility was well kept & clean, as well as our room. The whole staff was friendly and helpful but the Concierges could be a little pushy. They really want you to do a property tour and join their membership. They even do it as you’re leaving. The bars were well stocked with great bartenders. The beach needs a lot of updating to be more usable and there were no loungers. We had to go to a beach club off site for good swimming & snorkeling. The resort is aware and offered that as a free excursion. The food was just average and restaurants are very spread out. They need an evening buffet on the adult side. We struggled to get shuttles and that was a 15 minute walk. Over all it was a nice get away.

Wow. Best vacation ever. The room was gorgeous, The amenities, were so plentiful that we wished we had another week to experience them all. (Next time!) The location and grounds were positively DREAMY. We really walked our feet off trying to experience everything! But the very best thing about our stay was that the entire staff, everyone straight down to the merest maid, was immensely and incredibly friendly and accommodating. We received VIP treatment every moment of every single day. Five enthusiastic stars!

The property is beautiful, very large, and the rooms were nice. If you're a beach person, you wont like it because of the barriers. It was very quiet when we were there and when they played music it was older (like decades). I wish there was more local food available. We survived on room service. The food at the restaurants was underwhelming. The service was great; everyone was so willing to assist. Thr drinkscwere great! Overall we had a really good time!

They can put more lights at night and signs on the pathways at night its scary to walk at night, I run into an alamid on my way back to our unit after dinner, and one other tailed animal that resembles a racoon. on our way back from our dinner. We get lost twice looking for for our room.Theres not a lot of people/staff to ask for information.we need more instructions at check in. The staff in the restaurants are efficient, professional and pleasing to deal with, every food they served are delicious. Staff are nice and helpful otherwise.Beatiful resort!

Staying at El Dorado Royale was a great experience! My husband and I stayed for a week there. The staffing was fantastic, the food car shuttles were really beneficial on rainy days. The food options are amazing. I really loved the Italian restaurant. All restaurant options were so tasty and delicious. I like the idea of giving a free pass to the water park at Nickelodeon Resort. The transportation was very pleasant since they have taxis that work for the Resort, so it’s easy to get around if you need to go to another location or explore downtown. We will definitely be coming back!

The resort is huge! 3 resorts in one so was busy and spread out. Sometimes all the cabanas would be taken before 8am and you had to reserve some or pay or was first come first serve. Was unclear on process. Some of the restaurants were 30 + min walk from our room. Transportation (go carts) was every 15 min and then sometimes would be full at dinner hour. The beach is narrow and cannot be accessed for swimming due to coral and huge cement blocks/structures placed there to protect the coral reef. If you want to swim in pools then this is the place as there are many pools to choose from but if u want to swim in the ocean then you must go to Maroma beach (rated top 10 beaches in the world 20 min by bus away was included and exceptional). I didnt like that the advertising implied that it was a great ocean swimming resort when it wasnt and you couldn't walk along the full stretch of the beach ( interrupted by structures , too narrow etc) . The food was superior and staff awesome, very attentive and helpful. Room was very clean, beds, pillows were very comfortable. Towels fluffy and plentiful. I would go back but only if i could go to Maroma beach more than once included with package.

Was pushed to book with our concierge for activities but the excursions the concierge book are the extra cost ones. They forgot to tell us that the excursions included with our package had to be booked at the check in area. Room was clean. Most staff were nice. Had to make a reservation every night for dinner, couldn’t walk in to a restaurant. On our first day there we sat down to make “reservations” for our dinners for the week and a lot of the restaurants were booked until like 9:00 or 9:30 or not available at all. The cenote was closed. You had to pay extra for the cabana beds. There is a lot of walking to destinations within the resort, just a tip for those who have trouble walking long distances.

4.5 overall. We’ve stayed at several resorts in the area so we have a good idea of what we like. El Dorado is a large property (we like) and there’s lots of walking (we also like). We would have preferred if the shuttle services (golf carts) were on a more regular schedule. The pools are not heated, so if the weather isn’t great be prepared for some cold water plunges! The staff were all incredible, save for the one Lomas excursions employee who was not overly friendly. Our biggest “complaint” is the food options: if you don’t reserve your dinners on day 1, you’re likely not getting in to the restaurants. The buffets are not great so you want to make sure you get in to the restaurants. Our faves: Habb (absolutely amazing Indian food), Wine Kitchen, Santa Fe. The pizza place is great too. Ricon is great for breakfast, not for dinner. For a resort of this size, we found the food options to be limited, especially for middle of the day/lunch options. Room service was great (really good burgers!!) but took over an hour most days. Make sure to do the Maroma Beach/catamaran tour that is part of their “all inclusive”. Speaking of “all inclusive” - this would be our second “complaint” - they pass off extras like their eco farm tour, bike tour, and Maroma beach tour as part of their “extra inclusive” package but at many other resorts these things are automatically part of their package, if not more (water toys/excursions for example).
