What They Do Best
El Dorado Spa Resorts is the adults-only luxury brand within the Karisma Hotels collection. Known for the Gourmet Inclusive concept (premium culinary experiences included in the rate), El Dorado properties offer a romantic, upscale atmosphere on Mexico's stunning Riviera Maya coast. El Dorado Maroma is particularly notable as one of the few all-inclusive resorts in the world offering overwater bungalows — a first for the Western Hemisphere — featuring glass floors, private infinity pools, and direct ocean access.
Resort Experience
El Dorado resorts feature gourmet restaurants with rotating menus, premium bars, infinity pools, and expansive spa facilities. The Gourmet Inclusive package covers fine dining, premium spirits, room service, and spa access. Overwater bungalows at El Dorado Maroma are the brand's signature amenity, offering a Maldives-like experience in the Caribbean. Properties feature lush tropical grounds, beachfront dining, and a serene, romantic atmosphere designed for couples. Naay Spa offers traditional Mexican healing treatments alongside modern wellness services.
Locations & Properties
El Dorado operates exclusively in Mexico's Riviera Maya: El Dorado Royale (the flagship, a sprawling beachfront adults-only resort), El Dorado Maroma (boutique luxury with overwater bungalows on Maroma Beach — one of the world's most beautiful beaches), El Dorado Casitas Royale (intimate, all-suite), and El Dorado Seaside Palms (beachfront suites). All properties are clustered along the Riviera Maya coast between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, sharing the same stunning white-sand beaches.
Guest Experience
El Dorado attracts romantic couples, honeymooners, and anniversary travelers seeking a luxury adults-only experience. The overwater bungalows at Maroma generate significant social media attention and are a bucket-list item for many travelers. Marriott Bonvoy integration through the Karisma partnership adds loyalty benefits. The Gourmet Inclusive food quality is a consistent highlight in reviews. El Dorado occupies a strong niche between mass-market all-inclusives and ultra-luxury boutiques like Le Blanc.
