Wow, suprised at some of the bad reviews. I think most of the disapointed people traveled during the peek season, or need more than me to be satisfied. I along with my husband of 13 years went to El Dorado Royale for some rest and relaxation and that is exactly what we got. We had a Junior Suite ...

The resort is rated 5 stars but I had to drop it down 1 due to the poor meal reservation system and the sporadic room cleaning service.

We found the El Dorado Royale much 'as advertised'. The service was great, staff accommodating. We avoided the time share session by 'just saying no' and were left alone in that regard.
Overall we found the food to be very good, and while not 'gourmet', it was great to be able to eat at ...

Review: Almost 5 stars- January 2004
 El Dorado Royale: (Playa del Carmen)

The El Dorado Royale is a quiet, Wedding type, relaxing hotel with no nightlife unless your travelling in big groups. If your under 35 and looking to have a spectacular nightlife you should head in to Cancun each night. $2 by bus to get there(30min) and $30 by Cab on the way back. I wouldn't go ...

Review: El Dorado Royale Far From 5-Star Aspirations
 El Dorado Royale: (Playa del Carmen)

Word of mouth hinted at El Dorado Royale aspiring to a 5-star rating. I would say they are some time away from that achievement.

The design of the hotel is flawed. It is supposed to be stress free, but the poor design and poor management combine to cause more stress than an airline trip. Our room on the second floor required us to climb a steep ramp and 35 stairs each time we returned to the room. The first floor rooms ...
