El Dorado Seaside Suites Riviera Maya - rates & reviews for Riviera Maya hotels

Hotel info:

Formerly the El Dorado Resort, this property was transformed quite extensively, while maintaining it’s friendly beachfront spirit. This is not just a remodeled hotel. It was completely upgraded it, changed it and created an entirely new resort. The outcome: El Dorado Seaside Suites, an upscale all-inclusive boutique resort for adults only.

Located in Kantenah Bay Riviera Maya, facing the beautiful Mexican Caribbean. One hour south of Cancun International Airport, 25 minutes south of Playa del Carmen, 10 minutes south from the natural aquarium of Xel – Ha, 20 minutes south of the Ecological Park Xcaret, 25 minutes north from the ruins of Tulum, only a few minutes from the “Puerto Aventuras Golf Club" and numerous wonderful Cenotes.

The Cuisine is superb. Following the trend from the sister resort, El Dorado Royale, the signature Gourmet Inclusive concept has been implemented here as well. There is a variety of options, none of which includes buffet lines as all restaurants serve a’ la Carte only. They do include authentic Mexican, Asian, as well as International cuisine with a daily changing menu. The bars maintained the famous swings, but were transformed to reflect the overall experience of the resort. A new lounge beckons with cool music and even cooler drinks.

All 133 rooms are suites, with lovely décor and romantic four post beds and all are just a few steps from the shore. Beach beds line the shore. The 24-hour room service is included, of course. As are the beverages and many other activities, amenities, and services. Down here you may walk a mile of beach and not leave the resort. You may be relaxed and elegant all at once. At El Dorado Seaside Suites you may enjoy the atmosphere of a boutique hotel, and still have it all-inclusive.

Just came back from El Dorado Seaside hotel. Overall we really enjoyed it and believe that someday soon it will be close to the level of El Dorado Royale (on a smaller scale) which we've stayed at several times. Just wanted to give anyone staying here a warning about the "Travel Club" (another name for the time share program) that you will be approached about. I know most people are weary of joining a time share but I must warn you that my husband and I actually attended a discussion about the club and were told several things that are false. We were concerned about the fact that we were told we had to make our decision while in Mexico and this set off red flags for us. Upon arriving home I researched www.mexicolaw.com and found out that there is a 5 day cancellation period when you sign up for time shares that CANNOT be waved (unless you sign up for the program on the premises), which explains why they push you to sign. Like most people, my husband and I would never think to enter into a contract (much less in a FOREIGN country) without doing more research. I was concerned about the ownership of the hotels in the "travel club" and was told that Karisma (an American Company) OWNS them. After getting back to the US, I called Karisma and was told they were the OPERATOR of the hotel but did not own the hotels or have any affiliation with the Travel Club. This is an important point to note because I was told that if I was ever dissatisfied with the club that I could sue Karisma in the US. Of course, once reading the contract I noticed that Karisma was never mentioned in the contract and the contract was to be bound by the laws of MEXICO. In addition, the contract makes no mention of what recourse members have in the case that the club becomes bankrupt. I'm not bashing the hotel but want to warn anyone about this TRAVEL club so that you don’t end up in a situation that you cant get out of. Good Luck.

We just returned from El Dorado Seaside hotel. It was gorgeous. The staff is phenomenal! Thank you to Andres, Arturo, Pablo and everyone. The food is great. We will definitely be returning. Don't forget the sunscreen!

We go to El Dorado Seaside in January each year with a group of friends. We always have an exceptional time, and have made friends of many of the staff (especially the animation crew). The price can't be beat, especially for the amount of fun we have. Looking forward to next year's!
