El Dorado Seaside Suites is an adult only, all-inclusive, all suite resort on a beautiful beach in Riviera Maya. Located about an hour south of the Cancun Airport, El Dorado Seaside Suites is the perfect resort for relaxing on the beach, enjoying great food and beverages, and experiencing the culture of Mexico. The natural aquarium of Xel-Ha is only 10 minutes from the resort, the Mayan ruins of Tulum are 20 minutes away and a great shopping experience awaits in the nearby town of Playa Del Carmen.

The resort itself is smaller than El Dorado Royale and larger than El Dorado Maroma with 280 Junior Suites. The suites are in 2 or 3 storey buildings and all suites feature Jacuzzi tubs, Mexican décor, complimentary mini-bar, and a terrace or balcony. Most also have a great hammock!

El Dorado and Azul Resorts are becoming well-known for their Gourmet Inclusive concept and Seaside Suites is no exception. One thing that you will not find at the El Dorado Seaside is a buffet! All restaurants are ala carte. From the wood-burning pizzas and burgers at the Sandwicherie to the fine Asian dining at the Klay Talay, you will enjoy a wonderful dining experience. All restaurants are non smoking and do not require reservations. So no need to decide on Tuesday what you would like for dinner on Friday!

The bars at El Dorado Seaside Suites are very unique….the swim up bar Gaviota and Lounger is located in the heart of the hotel where you can enjoy birds and waterfall sounds……the Las Guacamayas is the bar with swings. Here you can enjoy tropical music and exotic cocktails under a traditional Mexican palapa….have you ever had a chocolate margarita? Or maybe tried 32 different varieties of Tequila? For those a bit less adventuresome chilled Mexican beer and a variety of wines are available. The house wine is bottled especially for the El Dorado resorts by a boutique vineyard in Chile.

Accommodations at the El Dorado Seaside Suites, range from standard Jacuzzi suites which have beautiful garden views to the Honeymoon Premium suites with their own private pool to the Presidential suites with outdoor Jacuzzis! There are also 49 swim-up Jacuzzi Jr. Suites which allows you to step from your patio into the pool. The swim-up suites also have their own swim-up pool bar!

El Dorado Maroma, by Karisma, is a small resort with an intimate, romantic, ambiance.

The El Dorado Maroma resort, though small at 72 rooms, has a lot to offer:  adults only (minimum age 16), beautiful beach,Gourmet Inclusive food and beverage, 10 minutes from the shopping on 5^th Avenue in Playa Del Carmen, Swim-up Jacuzzi suites, and a full service spa!

The beach has been designated by Discovery Channel as one of the top in the world.   For some reason the sand stays cool, even in the sun.  The beach, where you can lounge all day on a king size beach bed, is serviced by beach butlers.  They will bring you a drink or magazine, or a light snack, so you will never have to leave!  A beachside gazebo is available for a soothing massage during the day or for a seaside, candlelight dinner in the evening.

The El Dorado Maroma’s beachfront wedding chapel can be used for families with children, but any festivities after (or before) the wedding would have to be held at the Maroma Marina, next door.  The chapel can seat 80 people, but the maximum for a wedding reception at the resort is 50.  Between the Italian and Japanese Restaurants there is a cozy lounge which can be used for small cocktail parties, wedding receptions.

Room categories range from beachfront suites with spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea, to a honeymoon suites with a huge terrace and great views.  Two room categories have pools right outside your door.  The swim-up suites are on the ground floor, so you can walk off your patio right into the water.  The infinity pool suites have a pool their balcony, with fantastic views.  All suites at the Maroma are Jr. Suites with Jacuzzis.  So no matter which category you choose, you will have a Jacuzzi tub for 2, for those intimate, rose petal bubble baths!  Ask about free room upgrades for reservations made through Totem Travel.

There are some all-inclusive resorts which are strictly buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Gets a little boring!   Karisma resorts does not subscribe to this policy.  All restaurants are ala-carte.  The resort all-inclusive program is called Gourmet Inclusive, and they mean it.  Meals are prepared and served very creatively.  The Mio Cuccina Italiana restaurant with their ocean fresh fish carpaccios to the Kiyoko-Oriental Restaurant, where the Asian cuisine includes Sushi, tepanyaki and sashimi.  The Mexican restaurant, Sabores, is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  The fresh seafood dishes, catch of the day, are a specialty of Sabores.   Also, special dining treats include Thursday’s “choose your own fish dinner”, Wednesday’s taco bar and Friday’s Bar B Que.  So “boring food” will never cross your mind!!

Please call (800) 321-7907 or send me an email if you are planning a honeymoon, anniversary, or couple’s get away and ask about extras like a massage, private dinner or room upgrade for El Dorado Resort reservations made through Totem Travel!
