With great excitement, El Dorado Maroma, a resort located in the Riviera Maya, Mexico, announced that the construction of 30 overwater bungalows is currently taking place with an opening date of September 1st, 2016.
These water villas will join 128 on-land accommodation options as well as the existing restaurants, bars and resort activities. Once open, these will be the first overwater bungalows in the Cancun area, unless you include the Rosewood Mayakoba Resort just north of Playa del Carmen.
While not yet available to book, El Dorado Maroma plans to have two different types of overwater suites available soon. These will be the Palafitos Elite overwater bungalows which will have a maximum occupancy of 2 adults and will be 600 square feet in size and the Palafitos overwater bungalows that will also have a maximum occupancy of 2 adults but will be a little larger with 775 square feet of space. Each are detailed to offer both private accommodations and airy rooms, personal walkways and views of the ocean.

Even the smallest of the rooms includes a view, a king size or 2 double size beds, bathroom amenities including an in-suite Jacuzzi for two, a living area and an entertainment system.
Nightly room rates seem to hover around the US$700 to US$1,000 range, which leads us to believe that the overwater bungalow nightly rates will most likely be around the US$1,000 and higher a night mark. Once the overwater suites are in place and ready to book, we’ll update you with their nightly rates.
