Our memories of the El Dorado Casitas Royale Resort in Riviera Maya will last a lifetime. By far, this is the most comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable resort vacation we have ever had.
Of course, we still have another full day ahead of us, but we already feel overwhelmed by the variety of experiences we have had in just a few days.
As we began today, we had breakfast in the popular Cocotal restaurant. As we left the restaurant, we encountered a group of Mayan elders who offered to perform a morning ceremony for us. Happily we accepted and joined in honoring the four sacred directions. Cintra took part in an additional purification ritual.
We enjoyed another aqua gym that doubled as fun in the pool and much needed exercise for my knee.
We ended the day with another great dining experience in the popular Italian restaurant followed later in the evening with a lively musical concert and breathtaking circus in the main stage.
As we wandered through this massive resort over the past few days, it was striking to note that much of it is tropical forest. The resort buildings are nestled among an expanse of coconut and other tropical vegetation. The villas are along one mile of beach front on the Caribbean Sea.
The resort property in fact occupies some 450 acres of forest, the size of a small town. What’s more amazing is the meticulous care that is taken of every part of the property.
As we walk through the grounds or simply relax outdoors, it is always noticeable that workers are watchful for leaves and branches that are out of place or sand that drifted on the walking paths.
The resort is heavily committed to environmental protection and preservation of green spaces. Even more, it operates a massive greenhouse where it grows all its fruits and vegetables that are served in the restaurants on site.
The Eldorado includes luxurious presidential suites, adult casitas villas and a property for families. We occupied a fully equipped villa in the adult casitas.
The landscaping of the El Dorado is spectacular with tasteful blends of greenery, walkways, pools, fountains, lawn decorations and hedges. To add to the aesthetic advantage of the property is the extraordinary architecture utilizing modern design elements combined with traditional hacienda decor.
There definitely are many reasons to feel at home in this beautiful resort and even more to return someday.
