The adults-only El Dorado Maroma is a romantic retreat nestled on the famed Maroma beach in Mexico’s Riviera Maya. This intimate all-suites destination is just ten minutes from the town of Playa del Carmen, which is known for its shopping, nightlife and proximity to the Playacar Golf Club. Despite its prime location, however, the resort offers a secluded and relaxing all-inclusive vacation ideal for couples and honeymooners.

The architectural style of El Dorado Maroma radiates contemporary Caribbean influences, from the peaceful tropical ambience pervading the lobby to the 72 spacious suites. Guests can choose Beachfront Suites with private terraces, Swim Up Jacuzzi Suites, Infinity Pool Jacuzzi Suites and Honeymoon Suites. Accommodations feature traditional Mexican decor, a combination of exquisite dark wood furniture, pastel walls and canopied beds. All suites have large balconies overlooking the ocean, and the unique Swim-Up Jacuzzi Suites have access to a lazy river connecting to the resort’s main pool and swim-up bar. Honeymoon Suites boast separate living rooms, private decks, in-suite Jacuzzis and outdoor showers.

The resort offers a variety of restaurants and bars to suit guests’ varied tastes. The main restaurant, Sabores, serves a variety of Mexican and Caribbean cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Kiyoko is an Asian-inspired venue offering an interactive and social dining experience: guests are seated at one grand table where they can converse with the chef to customize their sushi, sashimi and tepanyaki dishes. The popular Mio Cuccina Italiana puts an inventive spin on authentic Italian cuisine using only the freshest ingredients. Bar “24” and Sabores Terrace are oceanfront swim-up bars supplying Mexican beers and a large selection of tropical drinks and cocktails. Rick’s Bar is the largest on the property, providing guests with their choice of local and international drinks in addition to pool tables and live music.

The El Dorado Maroma features two freshwater swimming pools, a marina by the beach and non-motorized water sports like paddle boating, kayaking and snorkeling. It’s easy for guests to relax the day away on the sands, attended by personalized beach butlers. Apart from water activities, the resort offers a fitness center and outdoor yoga classes; guests can also venture off-site for deep-sea fishing, scuba diving and horseback riding. The Spa offers a variety of signature treatments like the Beachfront Sky Massage in an ocean palapa in addition to body scrubs, milk baths and refreshing facials. Foodies enjoy the many culinary events that take place on site, like the taco bar, a weekly fresh fish market, paella on the beach and a beach barbecue. The resort can also arrange wedding ceremonies in its oceanfront gazebos.
