My husband and I had our destination wedding at fellow Karisma resort, Azul Sensatori. However, we wanted somewhere smaller and more private for our honeymoon. El Dorado Maroma completely exceeded expectations. We thought the food at Azul was excellent, but El Dorado Maroma was even better.The Asian restaurant was particularly phenomenal. The restaurant on the beach was our favorite for... More

I’m a travel agent and GI (“Gourmet Inclusive”) Vacation Consultant for Karisma Hotels. My husband and I just returned from our 3rd trip to the El Dorado Maroma. We don’t usually return to the same resort more than once, but we absolutely love this place! It’s a little slice of heaven on earth and there’s just a sense of peacefulness... More

We stayed at El Dorado Maroma for our Honeymoon July 12-19, 2011. Our experience was wonderful. We were greeted by a friendly and courteous staff. After a quick and seamless check-in, we were led to the beach restaurant while the staff prepared our room. The rooms were spacious and clean with updated furniture. The bathrooms were huge and the outdoor... More

We recently returned from this resort in April, and it was a wonderful vacation. Service, staff, food, accommodations were all beyond excellent. WE had a swim up room, and I cannot say enough how perfect it was. The beach was one of the best I have been on. Sand was talcom powder soft. Beach service was incredible as well. They... More

After a trip in 2012 to El Dorado Maroma, my husband and I fell in love with Riviera Maya, and decided to return. We looked into other resorts to switch it up, but nothing seemed to compare to the peaceful, relaxing atmosphere of El Dorado Maroma. We're not fans of the super-mega resorts with 15 restaurants, tons of people, and... More

We just returned from 12 breath taking days at EDM. This was our 8th trip to this paradise. I really thought there would be nothing else I could say about this romantic, beautiful, boutique property.....but I was wrong. I didnt think EDM could improve but they have made some changes that make it even better. The beach is now wider... More

September 2011. Food and beach was to die for. Service got an A+ rating. The best part was the Marina that had all the watersports. Being travel agents got us free jetskiing and snorkeling! Karisma hotels are highly recommended. With Gourmet Inclusive you cant go wrong!

If you want a place to relax, I highly recommend El Dorado Maroma. We travel to Mexico once a year and it was our first time staying at the resort. We usually stay at Secrets Maroma which is amazing too but El Dorado is smaller and more quiet. El Dorado is smaller with around 80 rooms and you don't have... More

We have just returned from our second stay here. The first time was in 2009. When we were trying to decide where to vacation, our travel agent, Jay Islam with Grand Travel and Cruise , recommended this place again. He said it had been a while since we were there and things here had only gotten better. He was right!... More
