I must say this was one of favorite trips! Always wanted to do this and just decided it was time. Can’t say enough about the accommodations, atmosphere, service, food, and friendly staff. The grounds people worked so hard everyday to keep it beautiful. Includes private airport shuttle to pristine Maroma Beach with access to your personal cabanas available with picnic lunch. Plus you have access to all restaurants, bars, and pools at adjacent sister property, El Dorado Maroma. Our bungalow included several glass bottom floors, stocked minibars, and anytime free room service for breakfast, lunch or dinner on your balcony (complete with private infinity pool, outdoor shower, lower deck with direct stair access to the beautiful blue water) and your personal butler to help with all reservations and requests. Completely pampered. Best EVER!

What an absolute incredible experience to get away and be spoiled by wonderful people. The bungalows are beautiful and clean. The staff is very accommodating! Shout out to Alberto, Daniel and Janet who accommodated all of our needs and wants. The Palafitos restaurant hands down the best restaurant at Maroma Beach! The beach itself is serene and breathtaking. I can keep going on and on but I HIGHLY recommend you see it for yourself. Def worth it! Tip: book on Black Friday, travel Tuesday deal!

Had a wonderful time. Aside from an awesome room, the best were the dedicated butlers that always available. We could order in our room anytime we wanted, all included. We could also enjoy the activities and restaurants at their sister hotel next door which is a short walking distance. Thanks!

Me and my husband celebrated our 15 year anniversary and were treated like royalty throughout our whole trip. The staff treated us as if we were the only ones on the resort and were available for us 24/7 and always checked on us and our needs. El Dorado Resort was also very well maintained and had beautiful grounds, restaurants, beach, and pools.

This was the best resort I've stayed at. The attention to customer service was amazing. We had 2 butlers Samantha and Janet that they went over and beyond for us. From the beach service to the restaurant and room service we wanted for nothing. I've never been on a resort where the food was amazing every meal. Definitely can't wait to return.
