Family Amenities vs. Adult-Only Cross-Access
Generations Riviera Maya utilizes a unique multi-resort layout to deliver a dual vacation experience. While the core property is fully equipped for multi-generational families, adults (ages 18+) gain complete, free-flowing access to two neighboring adults-only sister properties.

Family Programming & Youth Clubs
- Eko Kids Club: A fully supervised kids’ club designed for younger guests, featuring interactive games, craft workshops, environmental education, and video gaming consoles.
- Little Eko Chefs Program: An innovative culinary experience where children learn cooking techniques, food decoration, and kitchen safety alongside professional resort chefs.
- Aquatic Family Recreation: Families can splash in central pools, kayak along the shoreline, or snorkel right off the beach at the resort’s artificial eco-booster reef.
Dedicated Adults-Only (18+) Sanctuaries
While children enjoy supervised programming on-site, adult guests (ages 18+) gain access to the expansive amenities of the adjacent El Dorado Royale and El Dorado Casitas Royale resorts:
- 14 Additional Adult Dining Options: Adult guests can cross property lines to dine at specialty venues, including Fuentes Culinary Theatre (interactive dinner shows) and open-air beachfront grills.
- Agua Salada Saltwater Pool: A tranquil beachfront saltwater grotto pool located at El Dorado Casitas Royale, designed for quiet floating and relaxation away from central splash zones.
- Hydrotherapy Náay Spa: An expansive wellness facility offering hydrotherapy circuits, steam rooms, saunas, and traditional Mayan-inspired treatments.
- On-Site 76,000-Sq-Ft Greenhouse Tours: Adults can tour Karisma’s massive hydroponic greenhouse, which supplies fresh organic produce to all on-site restaurants.
