Wows and Woes
The El Dorado Seaside Resort is located in the gorgeous Kantenah Bay. This is the perfect tranquil location if you are looking to get away from it all. The resort is self-contained, and you can experience the perfect luxury vacation without ever leaving the resort. The El Dorado Seaside Resort is about a 30-minute drive north of the Mayan ruins of Tulum, which along with Cancun make perfect day trips. The resort is isolated. If you don't have a car, you will need to hire a car to explore outside the resort grounds.
Insider Tips
The resort offers guests full access to the nearby Hidden Beach Resort, which includes a clothing-optional nudist beach and club. Also, when ordering drinks from any of the resort bars, be sure to request premium-brand liquors by name. There is no additional charge for premium brands, but they are served only by request.
Bottom Line
The resort is expensive. Rooms start at $400 per night. The food is decent, but you will need to eat and drink a lot to justify the per-night cost.
Author's Most Memorable Moment
The location is truly stunning. My wife and I stayed at this resort for our fifth wedding anniversary and never left the resort facility. The staff paid meticulous attention to every detail, the suites are luxurious, and we really appreciated the adults-only atmosphere.
