El Dorado Casitas Royale, Mexico

• Paradise awaits: Strike vacation gold at El Dorado Casitas Royale. This Tulum escape won a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice 2021 award for its sumptuous suite of offerings, running the gamut from a champagne welcome toast and nightly turndown service to a personal concierge and butlers at the beach.

• All-inclusive excellence: There’s something for everyone within El Dorado’s culinary program, which comprises more than 15 restaurants and bars, as well as an in-room dining service. You can look forward to authentic Mexican tacos and fajitas, fresh Caribbean-inspired seafood dishes and contemporary variations on the cuisine of the Italian Riviera. Bars are no less diverse, and they’re beautifully designed, too.

• Next-level relaxation: The resort’s two spas are Mayan-inspired, both in the primary wellness facility, as well as the separate temazcal (steam house). Embark on a journey around the various therapeutic pools, including a cold plunge and a sensation pool with a waterfall, or select a massage from the extensive spa menu. You can also avail yourself of hydrotherapy and reflexology offerings, or if you’d just like to pop in for a quick manicure, haircut or wax, make a reservation at the full-service beauty salon.

• Sumptuous suite living: Each airy, palapa-style suite comes with a Jacuzzi, an outdoor shower and a balcony with a daybed, setting a calm and relaxed tone before you even set off for the spa or lazy rivers. Swim Up Casita suites have direct access to the lazy river, complete with a small lounge area extending toward your room. Relax in a sun chair set in the cool blue water, before swimming over to one of the resort's bars.
