Me and my husband are looking to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary next april
we are wanting something special as we neve had a honey moon as we married in the miners strike
so far we are interested in El Dorado Royale in Mexico, we have been to mexico a few times and really enjoyed it here
does anyone have any information or tips for us, anything would be appreciated

we are a couple that loves, relaxation,but also like to be entertained. We dont want it too quite, i know we have been married for some time but we would like to think that we are still young at heart, if you know what i mean.

we are interested in this hotel for quite a few things and one being that we can go out side the complex to cancun and playa del carman

Hi aws. We were at the El Dorado Royale in March and stayed in a Casita. My one piece of advice would be to book a Casita, the service was so much better. The only thing I would say is that although you are in travelling distance of Cancun and Playa Del Carman the entertainment at the resort itself is quite low key. We're not big ones on entertainment but we would have liked a bit more.
Anything else that you'd like to know - just ask. :)

Hi, We have just four weeks left now until we go to EDSS, some 6 weeks ago we received a letter from first choice telling us that they are building a new Spa at this hotel but that it wouldnt disrupt our holiday in anyway..... so we thought ok, no problem. However i have been reading trip reports from people just returned from here and they mention problems with building works and new suites being built. Does anyone have any clear information about this??
Thanks

We are going to the Seaside Suites for our honeymoon in Feb and have booked a swim up suite.

I have seen people mention sushi is this still available (for my better half!)? I am vegetarian - what is it like?

We want a very quiet and private room - any suggestions????

Is it worth booking a private taxi for the transfer from the airport?

Thanks

Hi Sedge,
The swim up suites looked lovely and they do appear to be quiet with a private swim up bar etc. Yes sushi is available in the Asian (Klay Talay).
There are vegetarian dishes however i am a big meat eater so im not sure what the vegetarian dishes are like but this hotel is very good at working with you around the menus.
We considered a private transfer but were glad we didnt pay for that as there were only 7 of us in a huge USA style jeep for the transfer anyway, however another couple who also booked through F.C but arrived the day before flying in from LGW (we flew from Man) were transfered on a large coach.
You will have a lovely time here, it is ideal for a honeymoon.
Have you read my review as i did write a lot of info??
Any questions, ask away!
Katie.

It is a great resort. You can wear shorts at breakfast and lunch and we saw men and women wearing shorts at the evening meals, the mens shorts were just above the knee. I did see men in jeans at the evening meals. I did not see any men wearing a tee-shirt which did not have a collar at the eveing meal.

I will say, it was a shame to see men in shorts at a restaurant for an eveing meal. They are such lovely restaurants that I would have thought they would have wanted to make an effort and dress up for their partner. I have never seen a man in shorts in a nice UK retaurant so why do they do it on holiday?

Hope this helps - feel free to ask anything, I will help if I can.

hi, i know people have commented on what to wear in the restaurants but im still not totally clear!! :que my partner is a jeans, t shirt and flip flop man so it's more to find out what he is ok to wear!!

are flip flops allowed in restaurants? if not what types of shoes/sandals are? and does it need to be a shirt and trousers or can he wear collared t shirts with smart trousers or jeans?

with regards to women, are we ok to wear flip flops? and vest tops? and do skirts/trousers have to be a certain length for both men and women?!

thanks

Can anyone help. I have just read on a couple of websites that the rooms at this hotel are smoke free, does this also include the balcony and the rest of the resort i.e. outside bars, pool area etc. I understand the restaurants are smoke free, as they have been since last year, but if the hotel resort is smoke free I will have to cancel my holiday and try and get something else.
