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.

Easily the best customer service we’ve experienced to date. The amenities were fantastic, we enjoyed the More Inclusive offerings, and the food at nearly every restaurant was spectacular. By the end of our stay, we were planning when we could come back.

This was our first time, staying at El Dorado, Casitas, and it did not disappoint. The grounds are immaculately maintained, and it is a huge property, so that is saying something. The room was everything as described – swim out was wonderful. The dining options were plentiful. The golf cart service to get you to and from your room due to the Was very helpful. The beach is very large, but very well-kept. The saltwater pool by the ocean was very very nice. The inclusive transportation to and from the airport saved a lot of time. The excursions that were offered as part of the more inclusive package were excellent. If there was one thing that I would say could use a slight improvement is if you are looking to purchase any souvenirs, the selection at their gift shops was a little light. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone, and look forward to returning soon.

I loved the Casita concept. Each group was like a small village with it's own pool with swim up bar and it's own personal concierge to aid you with reservations to excursions. The property is quite large but they have a great system of large golf cart shuttles running every 10 to 15 minutes to take you anywhere you need. The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. We will be back.
