Mexico was AMAZING and the resort was AMAZING! We do not have hardly any complaints! From getting off the airplane, finding Lomas very quickly and being the first to be dropped off, it was a breeze. The resort was in tip-top shape...waaaaaay waaaaay nicer and more developed that what the website or photos capture. Those photos must have been taken in the resort's early stages when the vegetation was still maturing because the plants, trees and flowers were just gorgeous.
I think our favorite part of the vacation was the food! El Dorado Royale has several very large greenhouses on the property where they grow most of their fresh produce that is served at the resort- and you could tell while eating it just how fresh it was. I loved that part about it a lot, but I also loved that it was all a la carte. There were 2 restaurants that had breakfast buffets, but you were still given a menu to order off of if you preferred. The rest of the restaurants were all a la carte style so every single meal felt like a true 5-course dining experience....if you have "foodies" wanting to book something, this is the place! The staff was wonderful, activities were plentiful and fun and the nightly entertainment was surprisingly really, really, really impressive. I'd been to a few all-inclusives in Playa del Carmen and Cozumel before where the entertainment was sub-par and kinda lousy; the entertainment at this resort, though, was really cool! Circus Night might as well have had Cirque du Soleil performers because they were that good. There was a fire show and drumline that was super neat and the singers were very talented. All in all: wonderful vacation. We also feel like it was the PERFECT balance of getting away, recharging, resting and then ready when the time came to come home and hit the ground running. No Mexico blues after getting home, just an exciting vacation to tell everyone about! Thank you SOOOO much. We are so appreciative of everything and really felt like we didn't have one thing to worry about because you had done it all. Blessings, Lauren
