The staff at El Dorado is amazing, everyone is friendly and attentive. Really enjoyed the 3 pools, main one at El Dorado was lively, lots of activities. 2nd was at the casitas was relaxing, more quiet without the loudness & the one at generations was beautiful & huge. More like a Vegas resort. Would definitely go back to this resort.

Overall we had a great stay. There were a few things that could be improved. Our room was not cleaned daily and on our first day the toilet was clogged which took 3hrs for resolution. The staff is incredible and our casita bartender, Benjamin, was great. The food was great with the exception of D’italia Villas. We had a nice stay with great weather.

This was mine and my husband’s first trip to Cancun and this resort was phenomenal. We stayed in a swim up private pool honeymoon suite and it couldn’t have been more prefect. The outdoor shower sounded gimmicky to me at first but that is something everyone should experience at least once! The candlelit dinner on the beach is very romantic and I highly recommend booking it. I don’t feel like going into detail about how great everything was, but it really was top tier! There’s also a few excursions you can book for no extra cost because they are part of the “more inclusive” thing that Lomas has started but we were enjoying the resort and relaxing so much that we just decided not to do any.

We had a horrible experience in the spa which cost $400 USD and when brought to staff’s attention we were dismissed and told they would pass info along which they did not! We asked 4 different levels of staff for water and did NOT receive any. We had called the phone number for the shuttle arrangements before leaving Canada and did not receive the email with a code they said they would send so 45 min was wasted upon arrival at the airport. 2019 we loved this resort which is why we chose to go back but food and staff was definitely not up to par! Checkout process is horrible and spread over 2 days.

The Good: -Food is quite good at all restaurants -The property is huge. If you like to walk and explore, this is a great spot. Lovely walks on the path along the beach. -Clean -Very nice staff for the most part The Challenges: -The property is huge. If you have mobility issues, this may not be your place. You can get rides in carts, but you have to wait/request and I'm not sure it would be very convenient - you may need some patience. -One day it rained very hard and the service and staff really feel short. Carts refused to pick up guests (I was told by one guy "I'm too busy". I witnessed another cart driver refusing to take an older couple while it was pouring rain to their restaurant. It was as bad as it sounds. I could not believe it. They were doing other things (moving luggage), but the idea that guests come first was not their mindset (especially in pouring rain) and that's why I thought it was terrible. -The restaurant reservation system is complete garbage. It's now a web page and it's wonky at best. We had to eat at the same restaurant two nights in a row twice (Italian and Steak both in a row). It was all we could get and we read and heard that some others could not get any reservations and had to order room service. The staff can't just do it for you, you have to book it on this web page and it's honestly trash. They need to address this immediately. It brought a level of stress to our stay that was unwelcome on a vacation.

We absolutely loved our stay at El Dorado Roayle Casitas! So much so I wish I didn’t have to leave. The staff was super friendly , our room was beautiful, the area was clean and super beautiful, the food was pretty good (although I wish they had more home-style Mexican food-we were in Mexico after all so I would of liked to have a more authentic Mexican cuisine while there). I will also add that you have to make reservations for dinner each night or else you most likely won’t be seated, and we never got to dine where we wanted because it was always full, so we ended up having to pick something that was open, even though we wouldn’t have chosen that restaurant. But overall, I can’t even compare this experience with any other, this one tops it by far. It was a nice get away from reality. Also, the golf cart drivers do their best, but even then sometimes it was hard to find them for transportation so we ended up walking a lot- but that’s no big deal as we would end up discovering new pretty places. Just make sure you bring walking shoes. We LOVED our stay! I hope to be back soon ! P.s. I want to add that we were told at one point we were going to be given a “free 25min couples massage” if we did a “tour” of Nickelodeon. But in reality, it was a sales scheme. They took almost 4 hours trying to convince us to buy vacation packages and wouldn’t take no for an answer. Ruined our last day since it took so long and was unclear. We wouldn’t have done it if we would’ve known.

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.
