We stayed at EDSS from 26 Dec until 9 Jan. We always have our main holiday at this time of year and prefer adult only hotels often with Sandals. On comparison my husband and I felt that the rooms, restaurants, grounds and Spa were superior to Sandals. However we found it less sociable which may be due to the bar... More

We decided to holiday away from home for Christmas and New Year for the first time, the hotel advertised entertainment every night, which I can;t deny there was, the problem was it was no better than that at any other hotel that has it own in house animation team. That in itself would not have been so bad if there... More

The recent reviews have almost said it all. It's the only beach holiday we've taken where if your not on the beach before 7 am you struggle to find a sun lounger, not because they are being used but the're "reserved" by draping beach towels on them. Evening seating is definitely a problem with the hotel, there is none and... More

My Boyfriend and I just returned from a 7-night stay at the El-Dorado Seaside suites. Overall we were very impressed with the resort. It fit our vacation requirements perfectly. Mainly: Good Food, Good Wine, Relaxation and Sun. Being our first all-inclusive experience we are now addicted and would definitely recommend this resort and any of the other 18+ Karisma Resorts....

Me and my boyfriend spent two weeks here in 'rainy season.' It wasn't that rainy apart from a few torrential downpours, but that was easily forgotten in the beautiful surroundings. The staff were welcoming and friendly, I don't think I have ever had such a nice reception at a hotel anywhere! The drinks were great, spent two weeks on the... More

This hotel focuses on quality not quantity, if you want bling and pompous ceromoney, it is not the place to be. We arrived back in the Uk today and overall thought the hotel was good, but as everyone has there own wish lists, there were are couple of things that we believed would make the hotel that little better and...

This place is fantastic, I will say that the food isn't 5 star but it is very good, especially for an all-inclusive and I enjoyed all of my meals very much. The staff in all of the restaurants were great, they were friendly, welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. We spent most of our time by the quiet pool... More

It's the third time that we do stay in the only Presidential Studio. It is the paradice, nothing compare to that. We do travel 2-3 time a year, and it is the first time I do take time to do a review. In this studio presidential, you got your own pool, your own land, your own palapa and beach bed.... More

We have just returned from a two week Christmas and new year break and will begin by saying that we got exactly what we wanted, i.e. two weeks of sun, sea and relaxation. However, having experience of Riu hotels world-wide we possibly have been spoiled because in no way can EDSS be classed as five star. Yes, there are several... More
