El Dorado Casitas sets the stage for an unforgettable destination wedding in Riviera Maya. With dedicated on-site wedding coordinators, multiple ceremony venues, and comprehensive packages that handle every detail, all you need to do is show up and celebrate.
Overview
El Dorado Casitas Royale by Karisma is an adults-only Gourmet Inclusive® boutique resort built entirely around a collection of private swim-up casita suites set within a jungle garden on the Riviera Maya. The casita format — each with its own plunge pool — creates a naturally intimate atmosphere that feels closer to a private villa experience than a conventional all-inclusive, and the Temazcal garden and beachfront gazebo ceremony settings provide two authentically Mexican venue options for groups up to 200.

We quickly decided we didn't want to do a local wedding, so we started looking up YouTube videos of destination weddings. We found Jack and fell in love with him. We loved how he was a no nonsense type of guy that wasn't trying to sell anyone on anything, he was just stating facts and his knowledge. We quickly decided that we wanted Jack to be the one to help us figure out a destination wedding for us.

What a gorgeous resort! From the swings at the bar to the numerous pools… Many thanks to Zandra and Vacationeeze for planning such a dream vacation to El Dorado Maroma in Playa del Carmen last November! It was a beautiful location and the organized events were perfect! We had a delicious dinner on the beach that was beautifully decorated with flowers and lights… just magical! Thank you Zandra, for picking such an amazing resort - we loved the Mexican night, the tequila tasting, and the mariachis! We will be returning for more advice from you in the future!!
