Thanks for the follow-up, we had an absolute blast in Cancun at the El Dorado Seaside.
We enjoyed great weather, beautiful beaches, and clear water. The food was not to bad, I would say we've had better, but we enjoyed the 24-hr room service! We didn't make time for any excursions this time, but we have jet skied and snorkeled before out there and really enjoyed it.
Thanks for everything, we really appreciate your advice, the pick-up and transfer service was excellent and care free, well worth it!
Love to Travel is great and we have zero complaints.
We will see you in the future!
Cheers,
Jeremy and Kate

Hi Kim & Dave & Team!
I am so glad you touched base with me as I was meaning to touch base with you. My husband and I had an absolutely fabulous time on our recent trip to Mexico and El Dorado Seaside Suites. The rooms were immaculate, very spacious, and modern. The beds were very comfortable and we loved the bathtub, walk-in shower, patio with chaise lounge chair and easy entrance to the infinity pool. The property was gorgeous and well-maintained. We loved walking on the sidewalks with all the palm trees offering shade. The pools were great. We played volleyball a few times in the pool. The beach was the nicest beach I have been to out of 3 resorts I have stayed in now in Mexico. The lounge chairs and butler service was very fancy! The Concierge Team at our building was very helpful, offering guidance all the time and they were personable. The food was exquisite!! The portions were smaller, which we were fine with as we are not big eaters. The quality of the food and the presentation put the other two resorts I have stayed at to shame.
We only did one excursion and we went to Coba to see the Mayan Ruins. We climbed the pyramid. We were told this is the last year they will let anyone climb it due to safety. We would recommend that trip. It was a bit far to travel but worth it. Little pricey, too.
We will definitely be using Love to Travel again and can't thank you enough for your recommendation to try El Dorado. We love knowing you have tried these resorts first hand and you took very good care of us before we went. You even booked our trip on Memorial weekend. You all go the extra mile for sure!
Sincerely, Mindy

So sorry I am just now getting back to you! We LOVED every moment of the honeymoon! I would 100% recommend anyone to go there! I will send photos from my phone shortly.
The swim up suite was amazing and probably our favorite part. The service was great and the food was amazing - so much to pick from!
We went to XelHa and swam with dolphins, road ATVS on the beach and took a speed boat tour for our excursions.
I loved the Beach BBQ, Mexican restaurant, Oriental restaurant and Mia Casa, which was Italian! I didn't have a favorite because all were awesome. My go to drink was a mango marg & Eric loved Icebergs, which was a beer & marg mix!
I will send photos shortly. Thank you so much for all the help :)

Hi all!
Adam and I had an amazing trip. The room at El Dorado Seaside Suites was absolutely amazing. We were on the 2nd floor and still had amazing ocean views. I loved the infinity pool in front of our room and the ocean front view. Our room was huge!
I'd have to say our favorite things about the resort were simply the service and the food. Everything we ate was absolutely amazing. The variety of restaurants was great, and the service at each of them was perfect. The resort was not very crowded it seemed the week we went. We never had to wait at restaurants and never had trouble finding a spot on the beach. As people who love to just lay on the beach, this place was perfect for us. We did not do any excursions...we were enjoying ourselves at the resort too much! We did do a couples massage at the resort which was great.
I really liked how there were options for the beach. As those of you who have been to this resort know, the beach directly in front of the Seaside Suites is a natural beach with lots of rocks and seaweed. I liked our beach because it was so quiet, and the natural views down the coast were really neat. I also liked that we could walk down to the other side of the resort where there was the crystal clear waters and the beach was more cleared of rocks so was better for swimming and dipping in the water. This side was a little more crowded but there was more to do...kayaking, beach volleyball, etc. and more restaurant options. So I would say we went down there half the days and stayed at our beach the other half.
I have some pictures, but they're on my phone so I will send in another email.
Thanks again for all the help!

To start off it was an awesome trip and Brook and I are already talking about going back!
It definitely was an experience of a lifetime.
Would you recommend the resort to others?
Yes, Would highly recommend this resort to others, the employees were there when ever we needed them with no hesitation,
How was your candlelight dinner and couples massage?
It was great, unfortunately we were not able to do it on the beach because they had inclement weather but overall it was a great dinner!
The massage was one of a kind as we got to have the massage high up right on the beach, even if it was a little warm out the breeze off the ocean and waves crashing onto the shore made it incredible.
Did you go on any excursions or activities off the resort property?
We did! We went to the Xplor zip lining,cenotes, and amphibious vehicle. It was awesome. We also did the dolphin adventure which was once in a lifetime experience to be able to get that close to an animal.
I have attached a few photos of our trip.
Thanks again for helping us pick out an awesome Honeymoon!

Thank you so much! We had an AMAZING time! We didn’t want to come home! The resort was the best! Everyone is extremely nice, helpful and warm. I couldn’t get over how clean and well kept everything was, they definitely pay attention to every detail and it shows! The excursions were great! Swimming with the Dolphins was one of the best experiences of my entire life. The only thing we weren’t crazy about with the excursions was there was a lot of wasted time. We were told to be somewhere at a certain time for transportation and we’d spend 30-45 minutes just waiting. Especially after the snorkeling, we had to wait almost 2 hours to get back to the resort and we weren’t prepared for that. But honestly, we were on a beautiful beach so it didn’t really bother us! Haha
The massage was obviously great as well! We weren’t able to do the candlelit dinner bc I have celiac and they didn’t have many gluten free options for that dinner. Unless we paid to upgrade which we didn’t want to do. Other than that everything was great!! We were on the 3rd floor which was totally fine! We had an amazing view! It was such an amazing honeymoon, I can’t thank you enough for helping us out! Thank you again so much!! I will email you some pictures! 🙂

HI Dave,
Our trip went very well. The resort was excellent. Staff, food, everything was great. We didn’t mind at all how the sprawled out the resort was, it was nice to walk around and see everything. We were on the 4th floor, where the bar was, so that a nice bonus each night being so close.
We did get the massages and private beach dinner as well, which were fantastic. I didn’t go golfing, just didn’t realize how much time it’d eat up out of the day, by traveling there and back, so decided against it. I would definitely recommend this resort to others.
I think the best part of it was the number of couples we met, and hung out with every day, at the pool bar, playing volleyball in the pool, each night at the bar, etc. We had a nice group of about 8-10 couples or so that we partied with during the week, from Detroit, North Carolina, Kentucky, Canada, Oklahoma, Chicago, Scotland and even Sedalia, MO. Was a real good time.
I’ve attached a pic of our beach dinner…
Thanks for everything….
