El Dorado Royale is a magnificent resort on Mexico's Riviera Maya, near Playa del Carmen. We spent a short week relaxing by the Caribbean and poolside with friends who were visiting for the wedding of two of our good friends. It's just as beautiful as it looks!

When you are down there, wandering through El Dorado Royale, you know it's a massive place but I never really understood the sheer scale of the project until seeing it from above.
This photograph was captured by turning the camera on my DJI Mavic Pro sideways, so it was in portrait mode, and then taking a dozen vertical photographs and later stitching them together back home. If you zoom in, you can see each pod of casitas in the middle, the family resort on the far right and the original resort on the far left.
Fun fact: nearly all of Bob and Christa Mason's wedding guests are somewhere in this photograph, getting ready for the ceremony.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter wouldn't be the same without the superfans. I spent about ten minutes watching these these guys. They were having the time of their life!

These casitas were home for us last week while we celebrated the marriage of our friends, Christa and Bob. What a great week!
