: Looking for a trip report on the new resort El Dorado Rayale

My wife & I just returned from EDR on Sunday and we had a good time. The resort was very clean and the staff was excellent.
The food was ok, but nothing spectacular. We have never been to an all-inclusive before but thought the food would be of greater variety and more spectacular.
EDR advertises satellite TV, but for the entire week we stayed we had 3 channels, CBS without audio, an infomercial station, and TBS movie station. This was very disappointing.
The beach was not used much because the sand does not extend into the water nicely... instead there are rocks near the waterline.
So everyone hung out a the main pool which was pretty fun anyways. There are 3 "entertainment" guys (Jorge, Eseyas, Victor) who spend all day playing games (water volleyball, beach volleyball, beach soccer, trivia, etc) and they actually made up for some of the resort's shortcomings.
Anyways,... would I go back? No. Would I recommend it... probably not because I have nothing to compare it to.
