We booked this hotel due to its being an adult only resort but also we're divers and we wanted a hotel with a dive school on site. When we arrived we were asked to pay a $500 deposit to the reception for any incidentals which we were not told about and so we refused to pay it. Then the following... more

We were counting down the days to our honeymoon which we just came back from 7 nights at El Dorado 10/10 - 10/17. I worried myself silly about the weather and even posted a message to other travellers familiar with the area and everyone said showers were forecasted every day but rarely occur (with the exception of last year which... more

My husband and I just arrived home from 7 days at El Dorado Royale. We stayed 3 nights in a Jr. Swim Up Suite (Villa section) and 3 nights in a Casita Swim Up Suite (Casita's Royale section). Overall our stay was nice. We were taken aback by the distance to and from our room(s) to the restaurants especially in... more

We came here for our honeymoon on a trade-in for our timeshare and by recommendation from a travel agent. After booking I read some of the reviews on here and got worried.....but do not worry! I don't know who these people are that gave this place bad reviews but whatever they experienced is the complete opposite of the time we... more

I would agree with most of the positive comments already made earlier, particularly the excellence of the staff. Just to add that if you are a keen tennis player,the onsite coach Jesus, is very good. He charges 100 usd for four hourly plus lessons, and this is good value as he provides excellent advice, practice and support. On a negative... more

Just returned after week's stay at El Dorado and so enjoyed it we hope to go back. Will start with the negatives - Travelled with Thomas Cook, never again. So mean (wont be surprised when they start charging for using the toilets), so cramped (not sure what you do with your legs if you're above average height), inedible food, and... more

This was a return trip for us. (A follow up to our 2001 Honeymoon) We upgraded our room, upon arrival, and were extremely pleased with our decision. We ended up at the more quiet end of the property. (Opposite side to the Casitas.) WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! (It may have been building 55, but I can not insure that fact.)... more

I have been meaning to write a review since my wife and I returned from our honeymoon in early July. We had an absolute blast, and this is mostly attributable to the fantastic staff. We go to know a number of them well, and can honestly say they were the friendliest and most attentive staff members I have ever encountered.... more

We stayed at the El Dorado for 5 nights in October. The weather was PERFECT. Warm and windy. The trip from the airport was about 1/2 hour and without any problems. We were greeted by very warm welcoming people. Our room was ready and we were promplty taken to the Casitas section. We were greeted by our concierge who were... more
