Me and my husband celebrated our 15 year anniversary and were treated like royalty throughout our whole trip. The staff treated us as if we were the only ones on the resort and were available for us 24/7 and always checked on us and our needs. El Dorado Resort was also very well maintained and had beautiful grounds, restaurants, beach, and pools.

This was the best resort I've stayed at. The attention to customer service was amazing. We had 2 butlers Samantha and Janet that they went over and beyond for us. From the beach service to the restaurant and room service we wanted for nothing. I've never been on a resort where the food was amazing every meal. Definitely can't wait to return.

We booked elite bungalows on the water and yet four of the 10 ocean facing bungalow rooms have an ugly water barrier in front of ocean. It’s disappointing and also as it is misleading from photos on the hotel website. We were moved two rooms away yet it’s imperative the hotel needs to inform the consumer in advance to spending $1,800 a night! Staff is excellent but in no way can I recommend this property

WOW What an absolutely exceptional experience. The bungalows are luxurious and filled with peekaboo windows to the water below. The private balcony and pools are the cherry on top; if we were at the room I was in the pool. The outdoor shower and Jacuzzi tub make for the best bathing experiences. The service is absolutely top notch, our butlers Janet and Pilar went above and beyond to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The Palafitos restaurant is a dining experience like no other. The multi course meals are works of art and if you are lucky enough to eat during a themed night, it is an experience you will literally never forget. The views are incredible and all amenities are easily accessible and readily available. You will absolutely not regret booking here, I cannot recommend this hotel higher. Before the end of our stay we were already planning our next stay here.

We had an amazing experience at the Palafitos. Everything and everyone exceeded our expectations. From the bellboy Alberto to our butlers Enrique and Fernando, they were all fantastic! Their service and constant attention was outstanding. The food was amazing and very well presented. The rooms unforgettable. I loved all of it. We had our own pool and beach. We were celebrating our 15 wedding anniversary and they made it very special. We had a private heart dinner by the beach and it was beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay. It was very romantic. Highly recommended for couples.

Beautiful resort with great service. Our Butlers Samantha and William made sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. Shout out to the sommelier Miguel for giving advice on tequila and wine during our stay. There isn't much to do on the resort but if you want a relaxing stay Palafitos has it.

Very beautiful, excellent friendly staff, great food, very clean, very quiet, very safe. Do not fall for the "sales consultation". Total waste of time and rip off. Stay clear no matter what they offer you. Other than that very bad "sales" experience, the stay was wonderful. Don't feel bad to tell them no!
