We had a horrible experience in the spa which cost $400 USD and when brought to staff’s attention we were dismissed and told they would pass info along which they did not! We asked 4 different levels of staff for water and did NOT receive any. We had called the phone number for the shuttle arrangements before leaving Canada and did not receive the email with a code they said they would send so 45 min was wasted upon arrival at the airport. 2019 we loved this resort which is why we chose to go back but food and staff was definitely not up to par! Checkout process is horrible and spread over 2 days.

We had a wonderfully relaxing time. It was everything we hoped it would be. This was the first time in a long time we weren't ready to go home by the end of our stay. The staff was amazing. Especially our beach butler, Alberto. We are already planning our return next year!

The Good: -Food is quite good at all restaurants -The property is huge. If you like to walk and explore, this is a great spot. Lovely walks on the path along the beach. -Clean -Very nice staff for the most part The Challenges: -The property is huge. If you have mobility issues, this may not be your place. You can get rides in carts, but you have to wait/request and I'm not sure it would be very convenient - you may need some patience. -One day it rained very hard and the service and staff really feel short. Carts refused to pick up guests (I was told by one guy "I'm too busy". I witnessed another cart driver refusing to take an older couple while it was pouring rain to their restaurant. It was as bad as it sounds. I could not believe it. They were doing other things (moving luggage), but the idea that guests come first was not their mindset (especially in pouring rain) and that's why I thought it was terrible. -The restaurant reservation system is complete garbage. It's now a web page and it's wonky at best. We had to eat at the same restaurant two nights in a row twice (Italian and Steak both in a row). It was all we could get and we read and heard that some others could not get any reservations and had to order room service. The staff can't just do it for you, you have to book it on this web page and it's honestly trash. They need to address this immediately. It brought a level of stress to our stay that was unwelcome on a vacation.

We absolutely loved our stay at El Dorado Roayle Casitas! So much so I wish I didn’t have to leave. The staff was super friendly , our room was beautiful, the area was clean and super beautiful, the food was pretty good (although I wish they had more home-style Mexican food-we were in Mexico after all so I would of liked to have a more authentic Mexican cuisine while there). I will also add that you have to make reservations for dinner each night or else you most likely won’t be seated, and we never got to dine where we wanted because it was always full, so we ended up having to pick something that was open, even though we wouldn’t have chosen that restaurant. But overall, I can’t even compare this experience with any other, this one tops it by far. It was a nice get away from reality. Also, the golf cart drivers do their best, but even then sometimes it was hard to find them for transportation so we ended up walking a lot- but that’s no big deal as we would end up discovering new pretty places. Just make sure you bring walking shoes. We LOVED our stay! I hope to be back soon ! P.s. I want to add that we were told at one point we were going to be given a “free 25min couples massage” if we did a “tour” of Nickelodeon. But in reality, it was a sales scheme. They took almost 4 hours trying to convince us to buy vacation packages and wouldn’t take no for an answer. Ruined our last day since it took so long and was unclear. We wouldn’t have done it if we would’ve known.

We had a very good stay at the Casitas. The food was very good quality for an all inclusive. The staff were all excellent. I would have given an excellent rating but we had some room issues. The roof leaked during a rainstorm. Also we had only lukewarm water in the shower. The shower was reported early but never a resolution. Otherwise, a great stay. The More Inclusive had some nice perks like a catamaran snorkeling tour, a water park.

We enjoyed our stay, except for the day my wristwatch went missing. We were walking to a restaurant for breakfast, and I realized I didn't have my watch. We ate a quick breakfast and went back to our room to get my watch. When we arrived at the room, the cleaning lady was there. I went to get my wristwatch, and it was gone! We called security and they came and performed a thorough check of our room, but did not find the watch. They stated that they would check the cameras to see who had been to our room and get back to us. I was very upset, but didn't want to ruin our last day of vacation, so we left the room to go to the pool for the rest of the day. Around 5 p.m. we returned to the room to get ready for dinner. As I was getting ready, I discovered my wristwatch in my small purse. During the security search earlier, three security men and I had each checked this purse! I guess someone decided to do the right thing and return my wristwatch! I was very happy to get the wristwatch back, but this gave us a very unsafe feeling! We will NOT be going back to El Dorado Casitias Royale!

Terrible resort
Worst Mexican resort I’ve ever been to and we stayed in the nicest part - the casitas. The resort is in terrible condition, food is disgusting, and the worst part is the service. The employees mislead you about requests, golf carts never come, maids don’t give you bath towels. The check in and checkout process were awful. We sat for 30 minutes waiting for a golf cart to take us to the casitas after we arrived at the resort. At checkout, their credit card machine wasn’t working, so I was forced to take out money and incur $40 fee that they would not deduct from my bill. When I asked for a manager they said he was busy with another client. The employees at the front desk were nasty and rude. I would never come back to this DUMP.

We enjoyed staying in the Casitas as it was more quiet and laid back but still easy to get to the restaurants and events happening in Royale and Generations. The staff was very kind and accommodating and made our first trip to Mexico an overall great experience. One thing to note about the property is there is not really an option to lay on the beach or swim in the ocean as it is rocky but we were shuttled to maroma beach which was beautiful.

Great resort! Don't count on management for help!
This was our 18th trip to a Mexico all-inclusive resort. We can say by far one of the nicest resorts we have stayed at. The food was fabulous with the service and staff being outstanding. But unfortunately, hotel management decided to do construction on the room next to ours on our last full day at the resort. Sad part for us it was our 32nd wedding anniversary. Construction started in the morning and continued throughout the day. Our outdoor space was basically under construction with workers doing heavy demo all day then running chainsaws only feet from our porch. We had debris falling into our space and swim-out pool making them both unusable the entire day. We expressed our disappointment with the lobby staff and were assured management would be notified. We also expressed our disappointment in the resort app chat section and were assured they were sorry. We left the room for a few hours for lunch and when we came back our entire porch was covered in debris and there were electrical wires in our swim-out pool making the entire area unsafe. We again spoke with multiple staff members about the issue and even our safety concerns and we only got automated messages saying they were sorry they did not meet their own standards. The cleaning staff was scared to even go on the back porch, and we ended up calling maintenance ourselves to get the exposed wires out of the pool. We never got any acknowledgement from management of our concerns.
