El Dorado Seaside Suites - A to Z Inspection
David's Rating - Double Thumbs Up!
The following is David's professional opinion from a recent hotel inspection.
Ambiance-Romance is the word for this couples only resort. one of the few adults only resorts in all of the Riviera Maya.
Beach- There is one section of the beach that is a protected area and the other section is for swimming.
Charges (extra) - Spa treatments would be extra.
Distances- In the Riviera Maya south of Cancun and Playa del Carmen. A bit of a drive but well worth it.
Entertainment on Property -While relaxation is the norm, the resort offers daily activities for its guests. Sitting in the jacuzzi or having my own swim up pool to a Jacuzzi Suite is about all the activity I need!
Fitness Area - A nice fitness center that actually has a sauna. Not that you need that to work up a sweat. Excellent Spa facilities.
Food- The El Dorado Seaside is not just an all inclusive, they want to be known as a Gourmet Inclusive. The dining here is excellent and not many resorts can match the cuisine. Everyone has their view of what gourmet is and even tough it is not white glove service, it is very good for an all-inclusive. There are 3 restaurants with Fusion Asian, Mexican and International cuisine. Reservations are not required at any of the restaurants.
Getting Around- Taxi or car rental.
Internet Access -There is an hourly charge for internet access.
Jackets and Ties- Keep them at home, but bring slacks and polo shirt for dinner in the A la Carte restaurants.
Kids- can you say NO!
Little Known fact-The resort is owned by a local couple who have a passion for food and taking care of their guests.
Medical Services-On call medical services.
Negatives- Well if you want to bring the little ones this resort will not not be the best choice.
Nightlife- This is a very relaxed intimate atmosphere, no large theatres but local music and entertainment. One night they have what is called a White Magic Champagne evening where they ask everyone to wear white and it makes for a very romantic evening.
Opportunities-Special wedding, honeymoon and anniversary packages.
Pool- The claim to fame here is the swim up Junior Suites. I am a pool person and there is nothing better than swimming up to my suite and I am right there at my room. Yes, you have to share two other pools but that's ok.
Protection-In room safe.
Recreation-Non-motorized water sports: paddleboats, kayak and snorkeling gear at the Marina located by the beach
Rooms-Hot tubs and Hammocks” is how they like to promote their rooms and atmosphere at El Dorado Seaside Suites. Every room is a Junior Suite, has a romantic canopy bed and a jacuzzi. They have Oceanview Jacuzzi Junior Suites and more Oceanfront Jacuzzi Junior Suites than any other resort in the Riviera Maya. If you can take advantage of it get the Swim-up Jacuzzi Junior Suite. Can you get the sense I like these?
Shopping-Small gift shop on property with more shopping in Cancun and Playa del Carmen.
Terrain-Very easy to get around this resort.
Updates-New Swim Up Jacuzzi Suites!
View-For the Ocean View rooms, there is nothing between you and the beautiful blue ocean!
Weather-December through May are the driest months. September through November are the wettest months with June getting more rainfall than July.
WOW Factor-The Canopy Beds, Gourmet Dining and the Swim Up Jacuzzi Suites are what makes this resort great for couples and honeymooners.
X-Y-Z-This and its sister property the El Dorado Royale makes it perfect for couples!
