Staff were terrible. Concierge booked us for dinners when restaurants were closed and the resort tried to charge us for it. We were told about all the free excursions, airport transfers, etc. we were entitled to once we were checking out. Overall I will never stay here or any other resort owned by this group again.

The only negative to this property is that it is so big you need a shuttle and they are hard to come by. Plan to wait at least half an hour at dinner times to get to your reservation. Other than that the property is amazing, the meals were fantastic, the rooms were large and the room was well air conditioned!

Beautiful property. pool areas were fun. Staff always friendly. Great food and amenities and the included excursions saved us money compared to a resort with no included excursions. Our least enjoyed part was probably the beach as it is in a turbulent area with lots of constant large waves so not much beach time, but that was made up by the included excursion to the maroma beach club. Overall a fantastic experience and will consider coming back in the future.

La atención y limpieza impecable, pero el transporte para moverse dentro del hotel no es eficiente, los tramos para llegar a los restaurantes son largas y la espera del transporte hace que no estés a tiempo para la reserva. La comida muy bien elaborada pero no lo suficiente caliente, la temperatura no adecuada.

This was our first time visiting El Dorado Royale, and we were extremely satisfied with our stay. The property is very well maintained and very clean. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, and the food was good, with a wide variety of places to dine at. It would be nice if they had a late-night snack bar on the Royale side as the pizzeria had inconsistent hours and only offered pizza. The resort was busy but still felt quiet, which was nice. The Royale side doesn't have the greatest beach access, but there were plenty of loungers and cabanas to enjoy (Casitas and Generations have better beach access). The pools were well-kept and clean but were very cold! The main pool was always busy, but there are quieter pools throughout the resort if that's what you're looking for. Overall, we had an amazing time, and we will be returning.

We had an amazing time staying at El Dorado Royale. Upgrading to the premium room was a good choice that i would recommend. Some vendors on the beach are disruptive. It would be helpful to incorporate shuttle stop times into the app. The perfume in the main lobby is very strong and headache inducing to those sensitive to scents. Overall the staff are very friendly and helpful.

The property is overall a beautiful spot to spend your vacation, they offer some additional benefits like round trip transportation from airport - hotel, a Catamaran and brunch at the El Dorado Maroma Beach, access to AquaNick and a tour to Rancho Bonanza Cenote, our room was well kept and if anything was missing they were quick to respond and provide. I suggest to open a Buffett restaurant for dinner, as there are days that options are limited or not available. El Dorado Royale and Casitas definitely need a couple of restaurants each, owners needs to invest money to remove those concrete wave blockers, they do take away the appeal and view, there is not much beach to enjoy, however, I still had a great time and enjoyed everything the resort has to offer. I will definitely will return some day during summer, the water in the pools was cold, wish they had the option to heat the water and put some jacuzzi's near the pools.
