Jojo's Restaurant and Beach Bar

at El Dorado Royale and Casitas Royale · El Dorado Royale

CaribbeanÀ la carte18+ Only

A beloved open-air oceanfront restaurant and bar serving fresh seafood and island-inspired dishes with breathtaking Caribbean Sea views. Features a patio area closer to the water and signature swing seating at the adjacent bar.

Insider tip: This is the go-to first stop after check-in for many repeat guests. Look for the daily fresh catch displayed on ice — usually snapper or mahi-mahi, cooked to your preference. The gourmet burger menu is also excellent.

What to order

Jojo's is the go-to first stop for returning El Dorado guests — an open-air oceanfront Caribbean grill right on the beach beside the swing bar, open from breakfast through dinner. The fresh daily catch is displayed on ice when you arrive (typically snapper or mahi-mahi, cooked to preference) and is the centerpiece of every visit. The gourmet burger menu is equally praised. The patio closer to the water is worth requesting over the inside tables.

  • Daily Fresh Catch (Snapper or Mahi-Mahi)
    Check the ice display when you sit down — whatever is on it is what the kitchen is proud of that day; ask for it grilled with lime and ask about the accompaniment options.
  • Gourmet Burger
    The most expansive burger menu at El Dorado Royale; multiple options well worth exploring as an alternative to fish on days when you want something heartier.
  • Ceviche
    A reliable starter before the fish mains and consistently praised as one of the best ceviche preparations at the resort — order it while the catch is being prepared.
  • Calamari
    The seafood appetizer guests mention most often alongside ceviche; lightly fried and the right companion to the fresh catch mains.

Fresh catch species varies daily — check the ice display when seated. Lunch hours (11 AM–6 PM) offer the most relaxed pace at Jojo's; dinner requires smartening up slightly.
