Riviera Maya First Timer- El Dorado Royale first impressions.


 
From the very moment we arrived, we were greeted by genuinely happily-smiling faces and warm, receptive embraces telling us “Welcome home”.  Pretty hard to argue with that.   Every single person from the morning grounds crew and housekeeping staff to the hands-on owner and management team, were happy to have to us there and eager to make us feel a whole-new level of comfortable. 

 Having worked in the service industry, I was practically startled by how attentive yet polite the workers were at the resort.  They personalized our room scents and offered our choice of pillow selections.  We were constantly offered assistance without feeling guilted into enjoying our relaxation.  We wrote down quite a few names of the employees, many to recommend to other travelers, some we have stayed in contact with since, and others to be sure that they received recognition for their outstanding service. 

 This is Alex from Gaviotas bar, which was our favorite place to hangout at El Dorado Royale.  Whether during an afternoon party with a live band, or a relaxing evening where we had the place to ourselves, Alex and the rest of the staff took extraordinary care of us.  There are other beaches in the world, and you could find similar-tasting food if you hunted, but I challenge that you would be hard-pressed to find a staff any where near the level of quality and expertise of that at El Dorado Royale.
