We had a great vacation at El Dorado Royale. All of the restaurants served excellent food, and had wonderful staff. I would recommend the Rincon for breakfast!! Our room was clean and fully functional, with the exception of hot water....always had cold showers. The beach is pretty rocky, and not easily swimmable. The shuttle service around the resort is not always reliable (Mexican time!) so plan your time if you need to maintain a schedule, otherwise be patient or walk. The app reserved all of our restaurants, however room service reservations never showed up once out of four days requested. The Maroma beach excursion was worth a whole day off the proprty...it was absolutely beautiful. We would definitely go back, just may upgrade to casitas or swim up rooms!

I give 3 stars on my most things. Make sure you get travel insurance. I was hospitalized and sedated 3 days before my trip and was unable to go. I believe Expedia strongly advocated for some sort of reimbursement, I was still planning on going at a later date if possible but the resort cited their policy and is unwilling to issue any sort of credit. My friend was able to go. She said some things were dated and there was some construction going on but overall she said it was a fine resort.

Property is secluded and a bit far from Cancun city itself. Free cenote and catamaran is offered free but you have to reserve early. We got there thursday and both catamaran and cenote were not available per agent until Monday…however if you become a member, they will become available…to me this is a scam.

We had a wonderful week here. The facilities and service was excellent. The beach is not swimmable but there is a natural salt water pool and plenty of swimming pools. We never had trouble finding a good spot to sit by the beach or pool. The food was fine, better than most resort food but I would t call it gourmet. Our room had some issues (broken shower, broken door) which were addressed promptly. The vibe here is friendly and relaxed, this is not a party place, which we appreciated. Highly recommmend the horseback riding experience (on site, extra charge) And the trip to the beach club (included). Airport transportation was a breeze as well. One note, bring cash if you don’t want to pay exhorbitant atm and exchange fees at the on site atm. The gift shops are also absurdly overpriced (I paid $40 for a small bottle of sunblock) so bring any necessities with you. Other than thah we had a great time and will be back!

The property is huge, basically a combination of 3 resorts. Dinner reservations can get booked quickly, so try to do it ahead of time. Room service is amazing. Lots of options and pretty fast. I love the shuttle that comes to drive you around the resort. I highly recommend this place.

The hotel is beautiful, the facilities are very well maintained. The restaurants were good, and the food is great. The hotel’s staff is very helpful and polite. There are many things to do in the hotel and around that are included in the all-inclusive packages and are great, such as the Rancho Bonanza. I consider that few things can be improved, for instance, I was located at 900s building and there were no lights on the stairs. In addition, it could be good to add some flexibility in some restaurants (not all), we were 9 people and usually we were told to split out due to the maximum being 8 people for table, one chair more does not seem to me a big deal. Now, a negative point is the transportation company “Lomas”. Unfortunately, Lomas’ quality services are deeply questionable. The information is confusing, incomplete, sometimes contradictory, and they are rude with customers. The hotel should have more transportation options than an incompetent unique provider. I recommend visiting the hotel Dorado Royale Catamaran Cenote.

We stayed at El Dorado Royale in a beautiful 2nd floor beachfront suite overlooking the ocean. This was our first visit to this property but one of many visits to Mexico. Check-in was a breeze and took less than 5 minutes. The property is very large and maintained extremely well by the employees. They have golf carts to take you around the property, although we enjoyed walking most times as there are lighted paths that are perfect for walking along the ocean. There is sandy beach area, with Bali beds and lounger chairs. Highly recommended bringing water shoes if you plan to be in the ocean as this resort is near the reef and not the best for being barefoot. The food was good for an all-inclusive resort, although I was disappointed with the quality of the sweet breads, which Mexico is typically great at. They have 24-hour room service, which we ordered on our last night; the food arrived in 30 minutes. We were pleased with the quality of the food and the fast service. Make sure you call in your room service order rather than using the web app. The daily activities and shows were nice, although I would have liked to see a place for dancing and more karaoke. The room was very beautiful, clean and maintained well by the housekeeping staff throughout our stay. The staff members at this resort are fantastic; restaurant servers, Leo and Sheila, were very kind and provided excellent dining service. Everyone we encountered was courteous and friendly. Check-out was very easy. A Resort
