El Dorado Maroma

Overwater bungalows are undoubtedly the two terms that immediately conjure up images of grandeur and romanticism. You don't have to travel halfway around the world to the Maldives to have a good night's sleep in one. At El Dorado Maroma, you can be located on the gorgeous beaches of Quintana Roo, however, they come at a hefty price, starting at $1,500.

Don't dismiss El Dorado just because their overwater bungalow might be too far above your budget. Instead, choose one of their spacious Junior Suites, which start at $549 for all-inclusive prices and include balconies, hot tubs, and tastefully appointed interiors. The Honeymoon Suites offer huge private terraces with double beds and in-suite hot tubs for only $30 extra. The overwater bungalows, on the other hand, offer a compelling argument for a big splurge if you can't resist the appeal of waking up to turquoise waters just beneath your glass-bottom floors. When compared to similar resorts in Tahiti or Asia, you'll save money on airfare, travel time, and jet lag.

Furthermore, most other overwater bungalows aren't all-inclusive and cost the same before adding exorbitant food, beverage, and activity fees. If you've always wanted to dive straight into the ocean from your private patio, this is the spot to do it. There are also six on-site eateries serving everything from Mexican to Peruvian to Asian fusion cuisine. At any of the five bars, sip a fruity beverage — and don't worry about changing out of your swimsuit because three are swim-up. Paddleboarding, Latin dancing lessons, and a complimentary champagne toast upon arrival are all included in the all-inclusive package.
