El Dorado Royale, a Spa Resort

Sharing space with the El Dorado Casitas Royale and the El Dorado Maroma, this adults-only, all-inclusive retreat stands as the largest of Karisma's Riviera Maya properties. Siutated near Punta Brava Beach, El Dorado Royale features 478 suites. Accommodations are appointed with indoor Jacuzzis, cable TVs, stocked minibars and furnished terraces with hammocks (upon request). When you're not lounging in your comfy digs, past guests recommend soaking up the rays at the resort's five swimming pools, including one saltwater pool. Visitors say the pools are well-maintained and offer enough lounge chairs and towels for every guest — meaning you won't have to wake up early to claim a spot. If you're feeling a little restless, take advantage of the on-site activities, like kayaking, snorkeling, biking and tennis — access to all of the sports gear is included in the rate. Once you've worked up an appetite, fuel up at the resort's 11 restaurants and enjoy unlimited meals and drinks, or head to one of the resort's three swim-up bars. While El Dorado Royale offers a wide variety of cuisine, La Isla and Rincón Mexicano win particular favor from guests for their delicious Mediterranean and Mexican menus and attentive service. Travelers also note you'll find a warm, friendly staff at the Náay Spa — located at the center of the El Dorado property — where you can enjoy rejuvenating massages and facials.
