El Dorado Royale vaca 2024! Most of my time was spent in this area of the resort. There's a pool bar right outside with ample seating, music, food, and a great atmosphere to enjoy. The Isla had some great food varieties to choose from but I certainly recommend the Deep fried fish is to die for!

So far this has been my favorite place to eat for lunch. I'll update as necessary. Went here for lunch twice so far. I would stay away from the tacos off the menu and stick with the buffet stuff. They have a fresh fried fish and oyster bar, which were the best things I've eaten at the resort restaurant so far. The stuffed pepper off the menu was quite delicious also. Everything else was just so so. The tacos off the menu, in case you're wondering, were kind of dry which is why I wouldn't recommend them.

If we could eat here every day, we would La Isla is the perfect spot for all hours of the day. We LOVE the views from every corner of the open air space and cannot get enough of the festive decor. The restaurant is spacious and offers up an authentic menu, delicious drinks and poolside views. We were blown away by their margaritas and kept them coming our whole meal. Their table platters with guac, chips and chicharrones had our taste buds dancing. GET THE ELOTE. You will thank me later! After that, grab the Queso and fill yourself up. The entrees and tacos were SO good we wanted to go back day after day!! At the end of our meal, we grabbed dessert and felt it was the right bit of sweet to end the meal. Don’t skip over La Isla - it’s a must have at El Dorado!!!!

Loved the atmosphere do the service was okay but the food selections wasn’t that varied but still nice traditional Mexican food.

All three categories are excellent. The food manager at this restaurant was so very pleasant to speak with. The coffee is delicious! We went there for breakfast and there were so many varieties to choose from. Highly recommend going there.

Great outdoor dining experience. Located right next to the main pool at El Dorado Royale you can enjoy the food, breeze, and the active atmosphere of the resort. Food is upscale, authentic Mexican. Amazing food and service!

Amazing authentic food!! Had breakfast here every morning. Staff was very friendly!!
