Had a fantastic two week stay, booked through TUI. Stayed in a Premium Sea view room. The great: - The hotel setting: totally gorgeous. So much wildlife and just beautiful scenery and landscaping. Great for nature lovers. - Kaab vegan restaurant - as a veggie - this was some of the best veggie food I have ever ate. We met many other non-veggies who also loved it. Great service, always space and fresh food / juice / cocktails. - Drinks - lots available - great cocktails. Favourite was a mango daiquiri - The room - saw mixed reviews on upgrading to premium but we loved it. Being set back with a sea view balcony with a little bed, we could relax and have slow mornings, early nights in. Loved the premium pool to - even if the beach / other pool was busy the premium pool had space offering shady spots to which was some relief in the heat. Room was clean, great facilities, good housekeeping service. - The relaxed vibes (mostly): most of the holiday we had relaxed, quiet peaceful vibes and areas with the more lively spots available if your that way inclined. However. towards the end of our stay we did notice a bit of a shift towards a more busy / rowdy atmosphere with many large rather loud groups - which just isn't our thing, if this was the full holiday it definitely would have put a downer on it for us. - Spa - fantastic experience. Best massage / spa package I have had! Great value for money - and if you ask they do sometimes add on a little extra discount / barter buffer on. - Entertainment - loved the silent disco and shine down beach buffet - we enjoyed sitting on a shared table and meeting others - big tip is to get there early to get a seat. - Service - mostly totally fantastic always lots of smiles and hellos. The OK (but still not bad points): - Food - limited veggie offering. There was always something but got very samey (veggies/ salad / bread rolls/ pizza). Would not recommend the bean jacket at The Pub. I would say I'm a veggie - but was served bacon in Driftwood. - Drinks - no menus - made choosing and trying new things which I love to do on holiday rather tricky. - Selling up - like others had said the hotel do try to up sell a lot of things and added experiences (some of which we thought were crazy stupid expensive). - Restaurants - we booked one visit to both Asian and the Italian via the concierges. The Asian didn't have our booking and we were not able to re-book. The Italian was very good. Towards end of stay (shift in vibes from relax to rowdy) we did have a 40 minute wait to get into the buffet. Also weren't aware the buffet / main restaurant close when the beach buffet is taking place - which gets very busy and has limited seating - so opted for room service (definitely recommend trying) . - Lack of seating for casual evening / daytime. Limited seating available to just sit have a drink /chat / play cards etc around the bars. Led to us going back to our room early a few times or during the day to sit and eat lunch from the snacky bar place. Overall, we loved our visit and like the many other people we spoke to, I wouldn't hesitate to return again to El Dorado.

Just leaving this beautiful piece of paradise. Check in was a breeze. They did ask for a deposit but we declined and it was accepted. We had a jr swim out suite and we loved being in building 39. Raoul at the swim out bar was fantastic. The palms beach was great and they did ask fabulous job at cleaning the sargassum. We dined at most Ala cartes but our favourite was Klay Talay. Italian being second. We will definitely be back. Met lots of new friends. We enjoyed the entertainment most nights with Kareoke being the best. Special shout outs Darwin at Klay Talay and Maria with the entertainment staff. Hola

We paid for the so called TUI premium suite. We requested 3 times twin beds.. No joy.. Not even noted on arrival. The room was dated, damp, and overlooked a run down pool bar and pool area so we moved rooms to another block. 07.15am and not one sunbed available...
We paid for the so called TUI premium suite. We requested 3 times twin beds.. No joy.. Not even noted on arrival. The room was dated, damp, and overlooked a run down pool bar and pool area so we moved rooms to another block. 07.15am and not one sunbed available in our so called premium zone, not ONE person on any bed. Totally selfish and ridiculous. If you want a bed.. lie on it. The place is tired, staff and food good, beverages good, a loud lively end and a quiet one, The Mexican TUI rep was excellent, we got in the restaurants we wanted, breakfast good, I know you spend little time in your rooms but they are in a desperate need for upgrade. If you are a hard core smoker do not come here.. Beware scam at airport if you bring cigarettes I got fined all in Spanish £322 for bringing 200. Its now a majot scam.. Beware.. All in all you get what you pay for. . And we did..

The best adults only resort for food lovers
Amazing resort, amazing wildlife, beautiful beaches, attentive friendly staff, huge rooms, outstanding entertainment programme. So much to do, cocktails, branded alcohol, lovely wines, beach cabanas. We are coming back to this resort for 2026. Tip ..book a private transfer from airport to hotel for quickness.

A wondeful hotel, very friendly staff all very welcoming. Room was very spacious and the bathroom was very nice. The entertainment during the day was very fun, luis and angel were very fun during the activities and made it very funny. We opted to have a massage which was amazing however it came with an hour at the hotel spa with hydrotherapy of cold plunge and things like that which were all under mainteanace and therefore were unusuable. We spent an hour in the spa simply waiting for our massage which was quite boring.as well as this the food wasn’t the best, some nights was very nice other the rice was undercooked, veg undercooked and not much options. But overall it was a lovely holiday and we would possibly return
