When couples ask us about a wedding resort that blends luxury, romance, and unforgettable experiences, El Dorado Royale is always at the top of our list. With its breathtaking location, outstanding service, and world-class dining, it has everything you need for a wedding that feels effortless yet extraordinary. Here’s why we love it:

A Beautiful Location

El Dorado Royale is perfectly located just 25 minutes from Cancun International Airport, making it an easy trip for your guests while still offering that tucked-away, tropical feel. Nestled in a gated community along the white sand shores of Riviera Maya, this resort feels private and serene, a dream backdrop for exchanging vows.

The Free Wedding Package

Every couple wants to feel taken care of on their wedding day, and the “Always & Forever Package” delivers just that! It includes the expertise of a professional wedding designer, all the ceremony décor, sound system, officiant, wedding certificate, semi-private dinner for your group, and even a honeymoon package to add those extra special touches after the big day. For couples looking for value without sacrificing style, this package is a standout.

Adults-Only Elegance

One of the best parts about El Dorado Royale is its adults-only atmosphere. This AAA 4-Diamond resort caters to couples who want romance, relaxation, and a sophisticated vibe without the distractions of a family-focused property. It’s perfect for wedding groups who appreciate elevated service, quiet luxury, and a setting that feels exclusively yours.

Wedding Venues to Love

El Dorado Royale offers a variety of ceremony and reception venues, each with its own unique charm:

  • Beach Gazebo – A classic toes-in-the-sand ceremony with sweeping Caribbean views.
  • Chapel – A traditional yet intimate option for couples who want a spiritual setting.
  • Sky Deck – Elevated above the resort with panoramic ocean views, perfect for couples who want a dramatic backdrop.
  • Garden Gazebo – A lush and tropical space surrounded by greenery for a private, romantic feel.
  • Ballroom & Indoor Venues – Elegant spaces for receptions and celebrations that carry on late into the night.

Whether you’re imagining a beachfront “I do” or a glamorous rooftop celebration, El Dorado Royale has a venue that will fit your vision perfectly

All-Inclusive Luxury

From the moment you check in, everything is included! That means gourmet meals, premium drinks, activities, and personalized service. Your guests will love knowing they can enjoy their entire trip without pulling out their wallets. This all-inclusive setup also makes hosting your wedding group so much easier, since everything from dining to entertainment is already covered.

A Foodie’s Paradise

Dining at El Dorado Royale is unforgettable! The resort’s award-winning Gourmet Inclusive® experience is unlike anything else, with fresh ingredients sourced directly from its on-site greenhouse. The chefs here are world-class, creating menus that range from adventurous new flavors to elevated takes on classic favorites. Add in expert mixologists and stunning venues for each meal, and you’ll find yourself looking forward to every dining experience.

Family-Friendly Next Door

Traveling with kids? No problem! Generations Riviera Maya, a family-friendly sister property, is located right next door. Guests with children can enjoy spacious suites and family-focused amenities, while adults staying at Generations have full access to El Dorado Royale. It’s an ideal setup when you want to include everyone on your guest list without compromising the romantic, adults-only vibe of your main resort.

Romance Travel Group’s Partnership

For over 15 years, Romance Travel Group has proudly partnered with El Dorado Resorts. That means we know the ins and outs of the property, the wedding venues, the team, and even the little details that make your experience smoother. Our close relationships with the resort staff give our couples an added level of care and confidence! You’ll feel like you have VIP treatment at every step.

Why El Dorado Royale Stands Out

There are plenty of beautiful resorts in Mexico, but El Dorado Royale has a unique balance of romance, fun, and refined luxury. It’s big enough to keep everyone entertained yet designed with cozy nooks and intimate spaces that make your wedding feel personal. Add in its reputation for gourmet dining and its seamless wedding packages, and you can see why so many of our couples fall in love with it.
