El Dorado Seaside Suites - A Great Destination Wedding Choice!

El Dorado Seaside Suites is an adult-only, all –inclusive, award-winning property which caters to newlyweds and couples seeking romantic beach getaways in the Mayan Riviera. Located an hour south of the Cancun Airport, and approximately 25 minutes south of Playa Del Carmen, the resort’s discreet gated entrance opens to a beautiful flower lined drive that leads to the understated but modern entry. The Mayan ruins of Tulum are 20 minutes from the resort. Xel-Ha, a natural aquarium, is ten minutes away, and shopping is available in the nearby town of Playa Del Carmen.

All of the 280 rooms of El Dorado Seaside Suites feature calming Mexican décor and luxurious in-room whirlpool tubs. A balcony or terrace adds an extra touch of romance to an already dreamy setting. The hotel consists of a series of two story buildings situated in such a way as to maximize sea views. Just under half of the rooms are junior suites overlooking the tropical gardens: more than 100 suites have stunning views of the Mexican Caribbean Sea. Swim-up junior suites have an abutting pool (a river-shaped winding pool at the edge of the patio) and are perfect for couples not interested in venturing from their room to the sun. The swim-up suites also have their own bar. Honeymooning couples often select one of three premium suites for the ultimate in beachside luxury. A private plunge pool which is just steps from the master bedroom and a nearby beach bed are highlights. Also included is an outdoor shower and complementary fresh fruits, flowers, and champagne.

The beachfront premises house five gourmet dining options, all of which are a la carte—no buffets here. Arrecifes, the largest dining room of the resort, serves an international menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner while the remaining four specialize in individual cuisines. La Carreta offers Mexican fare nightly; Mia Casa provides contemporary Italian cuisine for dinner seating as well as Boca wine, an Argentinean brand bottled exclusively for the resort. Klay Talay serves an Asian menu each evening, including hand-rolled sushi. Lastly, Vida Garden Grill is a Latin fusion restaurant serving all meals and incorporating a margarita lounge, complete with sommelier. All restaurants are non-smoking and do not require reservations.

During the day you can enjoy three luxury pools scattered across the grounds. Vacationing guests can enjoy activities which include beach volleyball, salsa lessons, and Yoga on the beach. Non-motorized water sports such as paddle boarding, snorkelling, and kayaking are included in the all-inclusive package.

To accompany the resort's "don't lift a finger while you're here" attitude, all guests can indulge in complimentary around-the-clock room service, a lavish option that many of the all inclusive areas, such as H10's Ocean Maya, do not offer. If you are looking for a scenic and romantic hide-a-way where you are pampered and catered to, do what you want, whenever you want to, encouraged to live out your romantic fantasies, then El Dorado Seaside Suites is the place for you.

El Dorado Seaside Suites has taken the general idea of beachside romance and expanded on it with personal service, attention to detail and stunning grounds alongside the Caribbean Sea.
