Hotel Information: A favorite destination of couples seeking a romantic retreat for any occasion, El Dorado Seaside Suites rests on the secluded beach of Kantenah in the heart of Mexico’s Riviera Maya.

Upon arrival, guests are welcomed into a seated check-in, offered cold drinks, and given a golf-cart tour of the enchanting and intimate grounds before being taken to their suites.

Amenity highlights: Whether in the gardens, by one of the three swimming pools, or on the beach, guests do not have to look far to find a private and romantic cabana with white cushions and beds. With slate roofs and curtains blowing in the sea breeze, some are even two-story affairs, offering wider views of the beach and green Caribbean water.

Staff members stroll the beach at noon offering picnic baskets to couples who do not want to leave their shady palapas, and they return later in the day with glasses of champagne.

This adults-only resort is on secluded Kantenah Beach in the heart of Mexico’s Riviera Maya, about midway between Playa del Carmen to the north and Tulum to the south. The pristine beaches and intimate grounds invite romance and create an enchanting atmosphere, perfect for celebrating couples or those looking for a romantic getaway.

Curtained beach beds lining the resort’s sandy shores allow couples to enjoy a picnic lunch overlooking the cool Caribbean waters or a peaceful evening sipping champagne under the stars.

Although all beaches in Mexico are public, access to the beach fronting this resort is usually limited to guests. One 500-meter (546-yard) stretch is rocky and separated from the resort grounds by a low rock wall, but another 1-km (0.5-mi) section is white sand and swimmable. The resort’s rock pier allows guests to walk out over the clear green water.

With à la carte gourmet service in all five restaurants, the resort ensures that guests do not have to wait in buffet lines. Choices include Italian, Mexican, and Asian. On Sundays, local fishers come by with fresh catches; guests choose their fish, which chefs cook up for lunch.

The menu at the spa includes lymphatic massage, grape juice hydrotherapy, and chocolate body treatments (surcharges for all spa and beauty products, services, and treatments). One treatment room is set up for couples, and massages can be done under a palapa on the beach.
