Totem Travel has three El Dorado and Azul Resort specialists and we’ve been to all six of these exceptional all inclusive resorts recently.  As specialists we have many “extras” to offer our clients such as complimentary room upgrades, private dinners or a massage for two.  We’ll help you “Enter to Win” a 3 night all inclusive vacation and can provide tips and suggestions to take advantage of all the current specials.

The El Dorado and Azul Resorts have branded themselves “Gourmet All Inclusive” resorts. Unlike many other all inclusive resorts in Mexico there are no buffets to be found, no restaurant reservations are required and most resort guests can enjoy 24 hour a day room service. The quality of food and beverage service is high and there are many luxury features such as beach beds, beach butlers, swim up pool bars, in room jacuzzis, outdoor showers and suites with private pools. There are even villas with 3 bedrooms, a gourmet kitchen and gorgeous oceanfront patio with BBQ for a larger family vacation or group of friends.

El Dorado Resorts are for adults only and with one exception, guests must be 18 or older. This makes El Dorado Royale and Casitas Royale, El Dorado Maroma and El Dorado Seaside Suites an excellent choice for a honeymoon, romantic getaway or destination wedding! Two of the El Dorado Resorts have oceanfront chapels and all offer destination weddings and free wedding packages with a minimum number of rooms.

By contrast, the Azul Resorts focus on family vacations and have exceptional kids clubs, accommodations and facilities for families with infants, young children or active teenagers.

El Dorado Royale and Casitas Royale – is an adult only all inclusive resort located in Riviera Maya, south of Cancun on the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. The resort has been voted among the world’s top 100 hotels by readers of Conde Nast Traveler and it’s no wonder. The property is beautiful, the rooms are luxurious, the food is excellent and the service superb!

Accommodations range from a Jacuzzi Junior Suite to Presidential Casitas but every suite, regardless of category, comes with a private Jacuzzi tub, 4 poster bed and large terraces or balconies with hammocks. Swim-up suites add the luxury of stepling off your private patio into a lazy river, which meanders around the garden villas to the beachside pool and 9 swim-up bars.

The Casitas are in a separate, secluded area of the resort directly on the beach. Here you’ll find romantic extras like beach beds, reserved just for casitas guests and beach butlers offering drinks, snacks, a facial spritz, and magazines. Beachside pools surround the Casita Suites.

The casitas have high ceilings, a palapa roof, aromatherapy and pillow menus. All casita suites have oversized balconies with linen curtains for privacy and a concierge is available to bring you champagne at midnight, or a sunrise breakfast on your terrace.

The Infinity Pool Casita Suites are on the second story and have fantastic ocean views and a private plunge pool. The first-floor Infinity Pool Swim-up Casita Suites are oceanfront with a private pool that connects to the winding river and swim-up pool bars.

El Dorado Royale boasts 15 bars including a Martini Bar and 9 swim-up bars. The swim-up bars also serve snacks so you never have to leave the pool. Evening entertainment at the Royale offers variety and unusual venues like Las Guacamayas bar which has swinging bar seats from which to enjoy your favorite Karaoke performance.

Restaurants at El Dorado Royale are also unique. At Las Fuentas Restaurant you have an interactive dining experience with 5 open kitchens under a 90 foot vaulted thatched roof. The restaurant is packed with flat screen TVs featuring instructional cooking techniques from the resorts’ Michelin trained chefs.

Other restaurants at El Dorado Royale are La Cabana Pizzeria, Rincon Mexicano, Jo Jo’s Caribbean Seaside Grill, the Healthy Bar, Le Fondue and El Cocotal. 24 hour room service is available for all El Dorado Royale guests.

The resort is large but golf carts come along every few minutes to take you anywhere you’d like, bicycles are available for traversing the resort and many guests choose to walk after enjoying the gourmet food and all inclusive bars.

Destination weddings are popular in Mexico and El Dorado Royale has the perfect setting. With a minimum number of rooms the ceremony is free and you have the choice of a beach wedding or beachfront wedding chapel plus complimentary honeymoon and anniversary packages.
