Myself, my husband and 2 sons, 14 and 12 stayed at the El Dorado for 1 week in March, the 16th-23rd.
The last 2 years we stayed at the Outrigger Napili Shores and really enjoyed it, but felt that we outgrew the 1 bedroom condo there. So we decided on the outrigger El Dorado because the rooms, 1 bedroom were almost double in size.
We booked last Oct. and requested a 1 bedroom with 2 beds and a pullout. I also requested a room on the 1st floor, just because we like to use the patio door as an easy in and out, etc. When we got our room it was on the 2nd floor and had only one bed and a pullout. I went downstairs and asked about another room. At first they had trouble finding another room with 2 beds, but then they managed to find the ugliest room with a bad location to show me. My 12 year old volunteered to sleep on the couch because the other room was much nicer and better location. The 2nd floor ended up being ok, the view is better there and the lanai was nice and big.
The complex itself is very spread out, but once you find your way from the parking through easier path ways, the walk is shorter.
The walk to the beach was not to bad, maybe 7 to 9 minutes.
I do not think we will stay here again, the room situation is to unpredictable (some rooms are much nicer than others and we need 2 beds next time)and the front desk was not very helpful in resolving things.

We have stayed at the Eldorado from February 23,2008 till March 8,2008 in unit J102. The unit was very well located and maintained. Huge bedrooms well appointed. Beach Cabana a definite plus.

Housekeeping was doing its job early every day. We have been pampered by Gheta who was like a mother to us.

Staff was friendly and helpful.We will return asap.

This Condo Complex was built in 1969 - only some of the units have been updated. If you must stay here - insist on a renoed unit. Ours leaked water from the ceiling, the bath/shower wouldn't drain, carpet smelled moldy, couldn't talk when the dishwasher was on, balcony drapes kept falling off. K-111.
Housekeeping dropped by every day - usually forgot to leave any coffee. You can't function here without a rental car and they charge $7 a day to park it - very little sense of customer service at this facility. The only thing the Eldorado has going for it that it's quiet - not much street noise. There are many alternatives in this price range and I would recommend taking just about anything else.

The condo is ideal for a family. We had a nice room overlooking the pool. Saucy and Wayne arranged several tours for us and we enjoyed each one. We saw dolphins, sea turtles, coral and fish when we went snorkeling(Gemini). The luau had lots of traditional island food and lots of it (Feast of Lele) as well as overlooking the water with a sunset. A helicopter tour was my husband's favourite-I was a little green (Sunshine ). We could walk to the beach and cabana-the best part was it was not overly crowded. Whaler's Village is within walking distance and can be reached on a trolley ride. We had an amazing lunch and dinner at Ma'alaea Grill (outside the aquarium).
The condo was quiet and it was clean. Thanks, hope to be back.
