    Beautiful bungalow exceeded expectations

    Paladins was the most beautiful and quiet place. The Bungalows and beauty exceeded expectations . The beach is vast and well kept. The Staff was amazing and so was the food. It is Not a party place at all and closes down around 10pm, but was perfect for what we needed. We will be back.

    Resort Entertainment Experience

    Alex, Gustavo, Osvaldo, Marco, Kevin, and Cristian made our stay at El Dorado Maroma one of a kind! They set up great activities for guests like beach volleyball, Mexican handcrafts, water aerobics and more. They always greet guests with positive, inviting energy that we have not experienced or often seen at other resorts. We cannot thank them enough for making our trip to El Dorado Maroma one to remember. It’s quite evident they truly care about the guest experience and put in real effort to make sure everyone is having a great time. We will definitely be coming back to El Dorado Maroma and next time with friends. Everyone needs to experience the passion the staff have here. It’s definitely unique and a wonderful experience. Muchas gracias!

    Amazing Romantic Getaway

    My husband and I came here to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and stayed at the overwater bungalows for 3 nights. It exceeded all our expectations in the room, the food, the service, and the beach. From the beginning of our stay with Alberto helping with our luggage and giving us a short tour of the resort, to Dennys at check-in, Aldo and Fernando as our personal concierge, the wait staff, house keeping…all were fabulous. My husband and I travel multiple times a year and this is the best resort we have ever stayed at. The butler service, provided by Fernando and Aldo, was exceptional, both were very attentive and knew how to make our stay even more special for our anniversary. The beach is in great condition with shallow waters, and there is a dedicated beach for Palafitos members, featuring drink service, beach chairs, and canopy beds. The Palafitos restaurant was amazing on both nights we visited, showcasing their specialty weekend menu. The creativity and thought behind the dishes were evident in every bite. On another night, we dined at the Caribbean restaurant in the main resort, which was also excellent. The only disappointment was that we weren’t there long enough :( Both my husband and I would recommend this resort to anyone looking for a romantic getaway to reconnect with their spouse or just to be at a beautiful, high quality resort. We will 100% be back!
