We’ve stayed here multiple times. We really like the small size of the resort and quality food. There did seem to be a drop off in the quality of service. I asked the concierge 2 days in a row to book us a reservation and it never happened. I also mentioned a few issues with the room that were minor but were never addressed. At dinner we had a bottle of wine that we ordered and it was court so we sent it back. They never offered other options so we went the entire meal without a bottle of wine which I would gladly have purchased. The house wine options are not very good which is fine because they do have bottles you can purchase. Not sure what changed since the last few times we have been, but we likely will try other places. The location, size, and grounds are great.

Perfect all inclusive for a relaxing getaway. The staff was great, very attentive, the beach is incredible, the amenities are such that there is no reason to actually leave the resort outside of the included activities like the cenotes etc. Food is decent, not amazing. The brunch at the day club was the best, mostly everything else is pre-made and heated up, so there is a noticeable difference in quality between a 7:00 reservation and a 9:30 reservation, but overall I would absolutely return.

We stayed at this hotel for our wedding Anniversary. They spoiled us with turn down service every night and they sent us flowers with a card that said Happy Anniversary. They really went out of their way in everything they did. This property is well taken care of. The staff was so amazing. They catered to our needs. We would definitely stay there again. The beach is beautiful and always well taken care of. The food was excellent. I loved that they did not have buffets like some of the other all inclusives. The whole staff goes above and beyond.

This is such a beautiful property! The grounds are immaculate and the my room was always spotless. The staff was extremely friendly and made me feel welcomed and taken care of. I felt so safe at all times; from the transportation to walking around the resort. The food was great. Top shelf alcohol. Good communication via the app. Excellent stay!

The El Dorado Maroma sits on a pristine beachside property. It has incredible food options, views, service, and pools. Breakfasts are unbeatable, featuring authentic Mexican cuisine, while lunches and dinners provide excellent options at Caribbean, Peruvian, and Italian restaurants, each with dishes to compete with the best restaurants anywhere. The waiters are always friendly, and the service staff helpful. Look for Arturo at Pepito's for especially friendly service. That guy's the best! We can't say enough about this place and are already talking about going back!

We had our honeymoon here 17 years ago. It's still as wonderful as it was then. Beautiful, peaceful, the staff is lovely and helpful. The food is fantastic. The only tiny complaint I have is that the music is too loud we talked to several guest who would prefer to have softer relaxing music no need for base. And no need for music on the beach during the day you can usually find a quiet spot but I think limiting that would help. Everything else is perfection. It's not a party place and we love that about it. Thank you to all the wonderful staff for such a lovely week!!

On the property, it was better than what we had expected! We loved how there was wildlife hanging out (e.g., the iguanas), and the service was more than what we could've asked for. The food was way above our expectation. With personal preferences, we did find some things foreign, but there was not a meal where we were not satisfied. The ladies we had for room service (Claudia and Guadalupe) were very kind and did things we did not expect them to do (e.g., fold clothing that we had washed!). Booking tours and activities in the Cancun area was very convenient; reserving the shuttle to hotel (after arriving at the airport) and back to the airport was an easy process as well. Most of the staff members who we had passed by greeted us with "Hola!" which made us feel welcomed, despite being one of the few Asians around at the hotel space. We definitely would love to come again, and we would recommend this place to anyone who asks about where we went for our honeymoon!

A Perfectly Romantic and Accommodating Escape – El Dorado Maroma Our stay at El Dorado Maroma was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make sure our experience was special. Unfortunately, my boyfriend fell ill during our trip, but the concierge was incredibly helpful—they assisted me in getting a doctor and even arranged transportation to the pharmacy for his medication. Despite being under the weather, he still got to enjoy his birthday, as the staff thoughtfully brought the celebration to our room, ensuring he felt special. The resort itself is stunning. The rooms were impeccably clean, and every staff member we encountered was warm, accommodating, and genuinely dedicated to making our stay wonderful. The beach? Absolutely breathtaking—easily the most beautiful I’ve seen in Mexico, and I’ve been to quite a few. The tranquility of the resort was another highlight. It often felt like we had the entire place to ourselves, which made for a romantic and peaceful escape. If you’re looking for a lively party scene, this isn’t the place—but for those seeking relaxation and intimacy, it’s perfect. Since my boyfriend was resting, I attended their 60-minute membership presentation, and while I ultimately didn’t join, I appreciated how pleasant and non-pushy the experience was. Maybe next time! El Dorado Maroma exceeded my expectations, and I can’t wait to come back for another unforgettable stay.
