I really enjoyed my stay at Sun Club El Dorado for what it is — a simple, budget-friendly spot in a nice, peaceful location. The room was clean and comfy, with great air conditioning that kept things cool. I did wish there was a fridge to keep drinks cold, but overall it was fine. Cleaners came every couple of days, which worked well. The food was okay — nothing to write home about, but I was happy since fish was served regularly. The meat dishes weren’t always the most appealing (I’ll never forget the beef burger that looked like it could still moo!). There wasn’t tons of variety, and I noticed quite a few guests ordering food from outside, which we did a few times too. The staff were friendly enough, though we didn’t have a lot of contact with them. One cleaner was a bit rude when we couldn’t understand her Spanish, which was a little disappointing. The pools were great! The quiet top pool was perfect for relaxing, the kiddie pool in the middle was cute, and the bottom pool had music and daily activities going on — good fun if you like a livelier vibe. Evening entertainment was okay, nothing too exciting. The bar closes at 11, and shortly after, the lights around the bar area turn off, which felt like a gentle nudge to head back to your room. The location is super peaceful but pretty remote. There’s not much in the town except a small café, so you’ll need to catch a bus or taxi to get to beaches, shops, or other things to do. The bus was cheap, easy, and came regularly. There’s a spot with steps down to the sea for swimming or snorkeling, but it can be tricky to get in and out because of the rocks, so I wouldn’t recommend it for young kids. Overall, nothing really bothered me — just a few small niggles here and there. It’s a solid choice if you’re after a budget holiday, but keep in mind it can add up if you need to eat out or travel a lot. I might go back, but it’s best for travelers who want a quiet, no-frills getaway rather than anything fancy.
