Our Review of El Dorado Seaside Suites

Our Review of El Dorado Seaside Suites

The Beach at El Dorado Seaside Suites

In early October we closed down our office for two days and took our whole company down to Mexico for our first ever all company trip.  We stayed at the fabulous El Dorado Seaside Suites.  When we got back, I asked everyone in the office to write down their impressions of the resort.  Here is what they said:

Philip:  I had a great time at El Dorado Seaside Suites. Our room was large, beautiful, and very comfortable. The grounds are tropical. It feels more like a Caribbean island than Mexico. I tried Mia Casa (Italian) and Klay Talay (Asian) for dinner and both were outstanding. In the evening, I really enjoyed the live music at La Guacamayas Bar. All in all, it was a great trip and a wonderful resort

Briana: El Dorado Seaside Suites is the “just right” sized resort. Not so small that you feel isolated, but not so large you feel lost in a swarm. Every staff member was polite and approachable. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and immaculate. The soups are to die for.  And the bartenders are generous.  Its a wonderful property that’s just right for just about everyone.

Nicki: If you do not wish to ever be more than a few steps from the beach or if you like the convenience of a small property with the amenities of a larger property then the El Dorado Seaside Suites is perfect for you. Built across the beach and nestled south in the Riviera Maya, I love that El Dorado Seaside is small enough that the staff knows your name and preferences helping you to relax more easily. At the same time it is large enough that there is always something to do. It’s the perfect combination of liveliness and quiet which makes for a perfect vacation.

…And besides where else can you find a champagne cart?

Leah: El Dorado Seaside Suites. What can you really say about it? You have to experience it. You have to walk through the property and appreciate all the trees and foliage just as much as you appreciate the beach and the clear waters. You have to step into the room and feel like you’ve come home to your tropical palace.
Once you enter the property you have stepped into a jungle paradise with better food than you can possibly imagine. That kind of food probably doesn’t belong in the jungle, but it makes a world of difference.
You may have been to Mexico before. You may have even been to Paradise before. But, Paradise isn’t complete without El Dorado Seaside Suites.

Marty: El Dorado Seaside Suites still remains a favorite in my heart.  Knowing most of the history and watching it grow, has only made my opinion of the hotel, quite strong.  Now, having experienced it as a guest for the first time, I was not disappointed.  The staff really went the extra distance to make my stay special.  Food was amazing, as well as the ambiance of the resort.

Terrah: The El Dorado Seaside Suites is a little piece of paradise.  I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the renovated suites.  They were absolutely beautiful.   Guacamayas was also impressive.  I now know that El Dorado Seaside Suites can party it up just like the peeps over at the El Dorado Royale.  :-)    Laura (the general manager) is always truly a pleasure to visit with.  She is always so professional and poised.   The lady going around with a champagne cart was also impressive.  That cart was a wonderful surprise.  Lastly, the spa.  Rumor has it that they are working on making the spa bigger and more elaborate.  I am excited to see that happen because I believe it will be an excellent asset to the resort.
