Right here’s a recap of the 4 superb dinner experiences we had at Mayakoba eating places throughout three of the resort properties. Additionally examine our keep on the Andaz Mayakoba right here!
The Mayakoba Eating places
Among the best components of the Mayakoba expertise is attending to dine at any of the eating places throughout the 4 properties contained in the gates. There are over 25 eating experiences unfold throughout the resorts. Examine them right here! Not solely can you’re taking a straightforward golf cart from one property to the following, however you may cost all of the meals to your property resort room.
We did make reservations for all 4 of our dinners, as was really useful. We tried to push one among our reservations again by an hour they usually weren’t ready to take action as a result of it was fully booked, so I believe the reservations are essential. I additionally consider that you’ll be able to make reservations at your individual resort (60 days out) and the others (30 days out) and (2 weeks) for the Rosewood, so they offer precedence to the house resort visitors. We didn’t have any bother getting the highest spots!
What I cherished about our dinners is that they had been all very totally different and felt very very similar to a eating expertise. If there may be one factor I dwell for once I journey it’s a meals expertise! We had been additionally very impressed with the meals! All 4 of our dinners had been wonderful.
I took so many movies, however I didn’t get sufficient nonetheless images of every of the eating places, and even every little thing we ate. Try my Instagram tales and reels for the video variations. However listed here are the highlights from our Mayakoba eating places!
Sotavento @ Andaz
Our first day had excellent climate, and it was the best evening to eat at Sotavento, which is correct on the seashore. They even had a shelf to position your footwear so you might get the true “toes within the sand” expertise.
String lights created a stunning ambiance, and we lucked out with an oceanfront sales space lined with pillows!
I used to be over-the-moon with this restaurant. It was a dream come true to be sitting outdoors, feeling a heat breeze, and having fun with contemporary seafood off an out of doors grill!
We loved drinks through the sundown:
I had grilled jumbo shrimp with veggies, and Thomas received a complete fish. You possibly can’t get way more contemporary than that!
Saffron @ Banyan Tree
After I was researching one of the best eating places on some journey boards, Saffron saved developing time and again. With a give attention to Thai delicacies, many of the eating is about up on docks overlooking the canals. There was even a tiny island! We received fortunate once more with excellent climate. I really feel dangerous for the individuals who had reservations the times after us when it was raining. I’m not fairly positive what they do as a result of I didn’t see a big indoor area.
We had been greeted by a ritual of hand cleaning adopted by a flower for my hair.
I LOVED the Mezcal Negroni I had this evening – the drink particular of the night.
We determined to order the appetizer sampler to share to have the ability to style as many dishes as attainable (that’s at all times my aim in a restaurant and why I’m a fan of sharing / ordering a bunch of begins vs simply getting one entree and calling it an evening!) The sampler included hen satay, noodle wrapped crispy prawn (my favourite!!), grilled salmon salad and spring rolls with a spicy peanut sauce. The whole lot was delish!
For an entree, I had the fried grouper in a candy and bitter sauce. This was really a break up portion and greater than sufficient! We had been so full. It was great!
Casa Amate @ Andaz
Casa Amate is an award-winning restaurant on the Andaz and was very, very cool. The restaurant is designed to really feel like you will somebody’s residence with rooms that really feel like residing rooms, eating rooms, and a library. There was additionally a guitarist shifting all through, and he performed an acoustic model of “Can’t Cease the Feeling” which was so humorous as a result of Birch and I simply watched the Trolls film and I’d been telling him I’d carry residence “sunshine in my pocket.”
My sister instructed us to get there early and take a look at the bar, and that ended up being my favourite half!
Thomas ordered the Tinto Romero, and I had the Sotobello. I cherished how inventive all of the drinks throughout Mayakoba had been. Gimme all of the Mezcal and Tequila!
This was some of the scrumptious drinks I’ve ever had! Thomas agreed.
For dinner we had been served a tempura fish amuse bouche plus tableside bread.
We ordered a tamale to start out – a corn tamale with beef, peppers, carrots, capers, Kalamata olives, raisins marinated in rum, wrapped in banana leaves and tomato sauce.
I ordered the Caribbean Soup for dinner which was a coconut soup with shrimp, fish, and scallops. A lot to my nice shock, I used to be introduced a bowl of COCONUT FOAM (!!) that they then poured sizzling broth onto. It was so cool and tasted unbelievable! (I really like all meals + drinks with foams!)
Thomas ordered Pink snapper with a marinade of dried chili peppers with coriander rice and espelón beans. I believe he ordered fish each evening! He cherished it.
We had been usually too full for dessert, however we needed to get one this evening after we noticed the desk subsequent to us having fun with it. A selfmade cookie topped with espresso ice cream, caramel, and a chocolate sauce that they poured on high on the desk.
La Laguna @ Fairmont
For our closing evening we dined at La Laguna on the Fairmont. We received there early to stroll round and get a drink earlier than our reservation at 6:30.
Mezcalrita!
Sadly because of the rain and wind we weren’t capable of eat out on the lagoon docks. I’m positive this is able to have been as magical as Saffron on a cloudless evening.
Have a look at this infinity pool subsequent door!!
Other than sporting the identical costume once more (it was too chilly for my quick clothes!), the primary particular person to inform me what’s odd about this image wins!!
Right here’s one other trace 🙂 I promise I hadn’t had any Mezcal once I received dressed!
The within of the restaurant was very very good too, and the menu was all about conventional Mexican delicacies. It was a terrific spot to finish our journey on.
We sampled among the mole sauces on the menu together with blue corn tortillas as a complimentary begin.
We needed to get the tableside guacamole!! (I cherished that I might request no onions too : ) )
So scrumptious!!
We had a taco theme at our desk. I ordered a trio of tacos – snapper, beef, and pork.
And Thomas had the particular tempura shrimp. We traded a pork for a shrimp so I might have one too.
As I discussed above, we had 4 very totally different and really scrumptious Mayakoba restaurant experiences that had us wishing we had extra nights to strive all of them!
Eating places we wished we had tried:
- Zapote Bar on the Rosewood
- Cielo Rooftop Bar on the Fairmont
- The Korean BBQ grill on the Fairmont
- Casa Del Lago on the Rosewood (for breakfast)
- Cello at Banyan Tree for rustic Italian
- Seaside Meals Fest on the Rosewood
- La Ceiba on the Rosewood (household model)
Hopefully there’s a subsequent time!
