Jun 11, 2025Great resort, great staff, great honeymoon!
We had the best time staying here for our honeymoon! The activities at the pools were so much fun, especially when they were being led by Benjamin, Luana and Octavio. They made everything much more enjoyable!! We also had great service from our butlers Edith, Leslie, Carlos and Victor. They helped simplify our stay and were there for us anytime we needed them. They even surprised on our last night with some rose petals, a bubble bath, chocolates and champagne! Transportation with Lomas Travel was great as well. We will definitely be coming back and can’t wait to see all of our favorite staff again. Everyone was so nice, fun and helpful!

We were here for 5 nights/6 days from June 6-11 and our stay was amazing! The staff was so much fun and made all of the activities so much better. Benjamin and Luana from the sports and entertainment crew were absolutely amazing, I truly don’t think we would’ve had as much fun without them! We did a cocktail class with Jesus and he was excellent as well. Everyone else was super nice and helpful throughout our whole stay. We will definitely be returning and hope to see some of our favorite staff again! also octavio, Abraham, angel, luis, jose

A wonderful experience
Review Seaside Suites There are many reasons to enjoy El Dorado brand resorts, the mission, the value, the amenities, the luxury, the food, the service… My primary reason is the people —-and how they make us feel. We feel like we’re at a home, away from home- with posh luxury and dynamic cuisine options. We were celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary, we arrived exhausted but hopeful. Off the plane at 6:45am, we were greeted warmly by Lomas Travel agents. Our ride to EDSS was wonderfully executed, our driver was great. Then, we were greeted by Gustavo, he’s a ball of fun, so jovial and engaging. Our luggage was whisked away and stored for safe keepings until check-in time. We were expertly checked-in with Elenisore at the Exotic Office and provided with lots of helpful information. Gustavo toured us around the property, then drove us to breakfast at Afficendos. The meal was fantastic and so was every other meal for the next six days! The wait staff was remarkable. Raul gave us more information about our membership and invited us to a presentation. Carmen from the fantastic Naay Spa as well as Edy were terrific! Our masseuses (mine was Zai) had no lie-magic in her hands! The best massage I’ve ever had. The stars of the show for me was our Butlers: Carlos, Edith, Leslie and Victor. They tag-teamed throughout our stay to ensure we were taken care of. They were very much like Genies in a bottle, they just appeared and seemed to anticipate our every need. Edith and Leslie’s enthusiasm made me all the more excited, welcomed and happy. Victor provided timely guidance on the day’s events. Edith went through great lengths to smooth out any “bumps” we had. She orchestrated a romantic evening dinner reservation (on the beach) for us with special decoration in our room. It brought me to tears. I can’t thank Edith and Carlos enough! Our housekeepers were PHENOMENAL! Our room and furnishings were kept oh so tidy and refreshed. Maria (events manager) is another gem, so engaging, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and entertaining. The art events, salsa and gucamole class, Mexican festival and Latin dance party were our favorites. This is why I love Exotic and El Dorado brands. They care about the people and the people—-no doubt care about us. I can’t wait to come back to EDSS! We love you, Edith!!!
