We had an excellent stay at the El Dorado Royale Casitas. The food and service were top notch. All the restaurants have gourmet international food selections and an array of menu items. The beaches were well groomed and were comfortable to relax on with all the huts. Drinks were delivered poolside, ocean side, and in the room. The room was clean, well maintained, spacious, and the outdoor shower was awesome! The concierges booked everything for us including spa treatments, dinner reservations, and activities. The highlight of our trip was scuba diving for the first time. The funjet representatives set everything up. We took a short ride to the marina nearby where we saw gorgeous coral reefs and sea life on our dive. The funjet reps got us from the plane to our shuttle to the resort and back without trouble. It was a fantastic trip and an amazing place to have our honeymoon. We can not wait to go back!!!
