Right here’s a recap of the 4 wonderful 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 subsequent, however you’ll be able to 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 certainly one of our reservations again by an hour and so they weren’t ready to take action as a result of it was fully booked, so I feel the reservations are essential. I additionally consider that you’ll be able to make reservations at your personal resort (60 days out) and the others (30 days out) and (2 weeks) for the Rosewood, so they provide precedence to the house resort visitors. We didn’t have any bother getting the highest spots!
What I liked about our dinners is that they have been all very totally different and felt very very like a eating expertise. If there may be one factor I reside for once I journey it’s a meals expertise! We have been additionally very impressed with the meals! All 4 of our dinners have been glorious.
I took so many movies, however I didn’t get sufficient nonetheless images of every of the eating places, and even the whole lot we ate. Take a look at 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 good climate, and it was the perfect night time to eat at Sotavento, which is true on the seashore. They even had a shelf to put your footwear so you can 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 recent seafood off an out of doors grill!
We loved drinks in the course of the sundown:
I had grilled jumbo shrimp with veggies, and Thomas acquired a complete fish. You’ll be able to’t get rather more recent than that!
Saffron @ Banyan Tree
After I was researching one of the best eating places on some journey boards, Saffron stored arising again and again. With a deal with Thai delicacies, a lot of the eating is about up on docks overlooking the canals. There was even a tiny island! We acquired fortunate once more with good climate. I really feel dangerous for the individuals who had reservations the times after us when it was raining. I’m not fairly certain what they do as a result of I didn’t see a big indoor area.
We have been greeted by a ritual of hand cleaning adopted by a flower for my hair.
I LOVED the Mezcal Negroni I had this night time – 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 all the time 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. All the pieces was delish!
For an entree, I had the fried grouper in a candy and bitter sauce. This was really a cut up portion and greater than sufficient! We have 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’re going to somebody’s house with rooms that really feel like dwelling 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 might carry house “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 liked how artistic all of the drinks throughout Mayakoba have been. Gimme all of the Mezcal and Tequila!
This was probably the most scrumptious drinks I’ve ever had! Thomas agreed.
For dinner we have been served a tempura fish amuse bouche plus tableside bread.
We ordered a tamale to begin – 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 scorching broth onto. It was so cool and tasted unbelievable! (I like all meals + drinks with foams!)
Thomas ordered Purple snapper with a marinade of dried chili peppers with coriander rice and espelón beans. I feel he ordered fish each night time! He liked it.
We have been usually too full for dessert, however we needed to get one this night time once 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 prime on the desk.
La Laguna @ Fairmont
For our remaining night time we dined at La Laguna on the Fairmont. We acquired there early to stroll round and get a drink earlier than our reservation at 6:30.
Mezcalrita!
Sadly as a result of rain and wind we weren’t capable of eat out on the lagoon docks. I’m certain this may have been as magical as Saffron on a cloudless night time.
Have a look at this infinity pool subsequent door!!
Except for sporting the identical costume once more (it was too chilly for my quick attire!), 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 acquired dressed!
The within of the restaurant was very very good too, and the menu was all about conventional Mexican delicacies. It was an amazing spot to finish our journey on.
We sampled a few of the mole sauces on the menu together with blue corn tortillas as a complimentary begin.
We needed to get the tableside guacamole!! (I liked that I may 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 may 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
- Seashore Meals Fest on the Rosewood
- La Ceiba on the Rosewood (household type)
Hopefully there’s a subsequent time!
