El Dorado Maroma, by Karisma, is a small resort with an intimate, romantic, ambiance.
The El Dorado Maroma resort, though small at 72 rooms, has a lot to offer: adults only (minimum age 16), beautiful beach,Gourmet Inclusive food and beverage, 10 minutes from the shopping on 5th Avenue in Playa Del Carmen, Swim-up Jacuzzi suites, and a full service spa!
The beach has been designated by Discovery Channel as one of the top in the world. For some reason the sand stays cool, even in the sun. The beach, where you can lounge all day on a king size beach bed, is serviced by beach butlers. They will bring you a drink or magazine, or a light snack, so you will never have to leave! A beachside gazebo is available for a soothing massage during the day or for a seaside, candlelight dinner in the evening.
The El Dorado Maroma’s beachfront wedding chapel can be used for families with children, but any festivities after (or before) the wedding would have to be held at the Maroma Marina, next door. The chapel can seat 80 people, but the maximum for a wedding reception at the resort is 50. Between the Italian and Japanese Restaurants there is a cozy lounge which can be used for small cocktail parties, wedding receptions.
Room categories range from beachfront suites with spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea, to a honeymoon suites with a huge terrace and great views. Two room categories have pools right outside your door. The swim-up suites are on the ground floor, so you can walk off your patio right into the water. The infinity pool suites have a pool their balcony, with fantastic views. All suites at the Maroma are Jr. Suites with Jacuzzis. So no matter which category you choose, you will have a Jacuzzi tub for 2, for those intimate, rose petal bubble baths! Ask about free room upgrades for reservations made through Totem Travel.
There are some all-inclusive resorts which are strictly buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Gets a little boring! Karisma resorts does not subscribe to this policy. All restaurants are ala-carte. The resort all-inclusive program is called Gourmet Inclusive, and they mean it. Meals are prepared and served very creatively. The Mio Cuccina Italiana restaurant with their ocean fresh fish carpaccios to the Kiyoko-Oriental Restaurant, where the Asian cuisine includes Sushi, tepanyaki and sashimi. The Mexican restaurant, Sabores, is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The fresh seafood dishes, catch of the day, are a specialty of Sabores. Also, special dining treats include Thursday’s “choose your own fish dinner”, Wednesday’s taco bar and Friday’s Bar B Que. So “boring food” will never cross your mind!!
