Jun 11, 2025Beyond Amazing!!!
This is our 8th trip to Mexico and staying with Eldorado resorts. Each trip, every time AMAZING! Palafitos is the best experience we’ve had. The food, scenery, and especially the people/staff. Everyone went out of their way to make sure we had the most perfect vacation. Aldo, Yasser, Alfredo “mama bear”and Alberto made our stay so special. We couldn’t have asked for more! Can’t wait to return.

Want a Wow experience? This is your spot!
I researched every overwater bungalow in the world with an emphasis on the most glass viewing space and this was the winner. Bonus that it is not as far-flung as some of the other overwater bungalow hotspots. But that didn't even scratch the surface of the magic of this place. From the moment we arrived, when Alberto took our luggage and golf carted us to our bungalow, to the reverse of that upon departure, every second was magical. We were taken care of by Enrique and Fernando and while we sometimes eluded them because we are not used to butlers and often did our own thing, they always tracked us down and ensured we had everything we needed. Literally such sweethearts completely committed to making sure we were happy. The food at Palafitos was truly outstanding - and especially when Marlene was taking care of us, she was so charming and kept the wine flowing. If you like oysters, the oyster appetizer is SO good, we had it every day. The other restaurants are fine/good but there is no comparison in food quality so when in doubt, just go to the Palafitos restaurant. They have a couple special theme nights which were fun and over-the-top from a presentation standpoint. At Maroma, the daily beach entertainment was a welcome surprise - they get really great performers and a wide variety - we especially enjoyed the mariachis on Mexican fiesta night and the fire dancers. Some things were so flawless that you didn't even notice - like the wifi works perfectly everywhere, it never dropped, anywhere around the property, very impressive given the expanse of this place. Other highlights - Aperol spritzes at the Bali beds, chilling in the overwater hammocks, both swim-up bars at Maroma, the daily activities (one turned out to be our own private Spanish class and I also made my husband do water aerobics with me!), the sunrises, room service coffee & fruit plates in the morning. It was my birthday and they added several special touches that were so appreciated. Muchisimas gracias por todo. We're looking forward to returning!

Paraiso sobre las olas!!!!
Absolutely spectacular place to relax, unwind and be spoiled! Spent four days with them, and the staff was all extremely attentive and professional. The food was excellent in the main restaurant and room service was to die for. Alberto, William, and Daniel are now considered family considering how well they took care of us and treated us like royalty! Thank you gentlemen. We came to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and you they did not disappoint. Muchísimas gracias a todos!

Great honeymoon
the hotel was awesome! we stayed 5 nights at el dorado maroma in the honeymoon suite and the service was amazing, staff was so great, food was great, all around it was great. special thanks to osvaldo for the salsa lessons, and to bryan for the massages! We moved to palafitos for 3 nights and the service was amazing! we loved having our own pool and deck, and the butler service makes you feel like a VIP. Aldo, Yassir, and Janet, thank you for taking such great care of us and making our honeymoon so special! Also worth mentioning that the restaurant at Palafitos definitely is a step up from the rest of the resort. All in all, this resort stands out because of its cleanliness, good food and drinks, and excellent service. They also were very helpful with transportation to and from the airport, and they have a lot of excursions and amenities that we didn’t even try because we were so relaxed at the resort. We would definitely travel here again!

A sensational week at Palafitos - incredible views that are only topped by the courtesy, availability, and friendliness of the team. Beyond grateful for Janessa, William, Daniel, and Alberto from the Palafitos team, Leoberto/Diego/Salame from the bar team, and Liliana, Cielo, and Angeles from the spa. You all provided us the peace and relaxation we needed. Thank you.
