May 12, 2025THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO BOOK THIS RESORT!
Couple, 30s, Niagara ON - Monday through Friday trip Okay, this was our first time to Mexico, and to be honest, we were pleasantly surprised. We had heard lots of great reviews but then also "warnings" from people who had never been there. I rarely go on all-inclusive trips because if I read 1-2 bad reviews, I get too nervous to book. So if you are like me, read on! This resort is stunning. The landscaping, trees, facilities, beaches, pools, restaurants, etc., are clean and pristine. All the staff work so hard to maintain this resort. Our entire stay was organised, and the staff were happy to answer any questions. We felt very safe the entire time. We booked our shuttle through Lomas Travel, which was straightforward. When you get through the airport, there are lots of shuttle and taxi companies looking for your business, but the Lomas team was easy to find with their turquoise outfits. Our ride was about an hour and 20 minutes, but it was a breeze with the kind drivers and coordinators. From there, we were greeted at the resort with a margarita and info from the concierge team. The resort itself has multiple pools and areas to relax throughout the day. There is no need to get up early and "reserve spots"; they have signs there to ask you not to. There are cabanas and beach chairs at all the pools, as well as on the beach. The bartenders are all very friendly and work hard - make sure you bring money to tip , they deserve it!! This goes for servers, cleaners, etc. The restaurants are delicious - we went to the Mexican one twice, because it was so good. We went to the pub and got a bunch of different dishes - the chicken wings and fish and chips are great. We booked a candlelight dinner for our last night, and each got tomahawk steaks - they were massive. This experience we paid extra for, but we were happy to with the experience. The breakfast buffets are full of different foods such a fruit, salads, breads, sandwiches, and some sort of meat like a plank of salmon, roast beef, etc. They have some sort of evening activity each night - we went to the fire show, which was my favourite! During the day, you can do a morning beach yoga, pool aerobics, off-resort activities like the cenote, tequila tasting, etc. We didn't do any of these as our trip was short and we wanted to enjoy the resort - we spoke with others who really enjoyed the excursions!! Our ONLY downfall was that we are big hockey people, and we went during playoffs - they have a sports bar with TVs and will put on whatever game you want, plus pool, ping pong, etc., but it's all indoors. We would have loved to sit at an outside bar with TVS to enjoy the weather. Some final tips - Some of the restaurants have a dress code for dinner, so no bathing suits/ beach covers, etc. - Sunscreen is $50/ bottle at the gift shop - try to bring some that fits in your luggage Overall, I would recommend that anyone go to this resort, get to know the staff and enjoy the beautiful scenery!!

Best time
Benjamin, Lu Lana, Luis, Abraham, Angel an Leandro Had so much fun! Great events. Loved the water Zumba and bingo! Loved the shuttle as a great transportation option! Included excursions were a definite bonus! Great food at each of the restaurants we ate at. Smaller portions at restaurants but worked well for eating more frequently.

Entertainment
El Dorado Seaside Suites has been such a wonderful experience. The entertainment team was fantastic. Luana, Benjamin, Angel, Abraham, Leandro and Luis made every day really fun and there was always something to do. The food was good at a lot of the restaurants, but the best at the Asian and Italian restaurants. The Culinarium was also great for breakfast.
