Hold onto the sunblock and dive into the newest suites to hit the hotel scene - the Infinity Pool Casita Suites at El Dorado Casitas Royale by Karisma. The new hotel-within-a-hotel at the award-winning El Dorado Royale caters to those with ultra-luxurious standards, offering suites that top the hippest of the hip and make a new category for affluent travelers.
For the ultimate in privacy, couples can request either the second-story Infinity Pool Casita Suites, with dazzling ocean views and individual pools that seemingly extend to the horizon or the new Infinity Pool Swim-Up Casita Suites. These ocean-level suites have a private pool connecting the deck to a winding river and swim-up bars. The on-call Casita Concierge team caters to every whim: from rose-petal baths at dusk, to chocolate fondue at midnight and sunrise swims in a private pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea.
Like the 173 palapa-roof suites at El Dorado Casitas Royale, the Infinity Pool Casitas feature romantic king-size four-poster beds, oversized luxurious bathrooms, and tanning deck with beach beds. Couples can leave their inhibitions behind in the Aguas del Amor, the Casitas’ private, open-air shower or watch the sun set from the in-suite Jacuzzi for two. Each Casita offers a satellite TV, DVD player and library, complimentary mini-bar stocked daily with premium liquor and other beverages and snacks, coffee/tea maker and upgraded amenities kit. Guests can experience interactive dining at the hotel’s 10 innovative restaurants; moonlight swimming in 11 pools; innovative cocktails at 13 bars as well as a full-service spa.
Gourmet-Inclusive cuisine, in-suite aromatherapy, a pillow menu, a bottle of champagne upon arrival, access to the Casitas private lounge and exclusive beach butler service are all included. Infinity Pool Casita Suites range from $440 - $520 per person, per night.
Couples looking to tie the knot can exchange vows at the quaint, on-site beachside chapel or under an open-air, palapa-roof gazebo and honeymoon in one of four Presidential one-bedroom Casita Suites.
