Here’s a recap of the 4 wonderful dinner experiences we had at Mayakoba eating places throughout three of the resort properties. Also examine our keep on the Andaz Mayakoba right here!
The Mayakoba Restaurants
One of the perfect elements 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. Read about them right here! Not solely can you are taking a straightforward golf cart from one property to the subsequent, however you possibly can cost all of the meals to your private home resort room.
We did make reservations for all 4 of our dinners, as was beneficial. We tried to push one in every of our reservations again by an hour they usually weren’t in a position to take action as a result of it was fully booked, so I feel the reservations are crucial. I additionally imagine 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 offer precedence to the house resort friends. We didn’t have any hassle getting the highest spots!
What I liked about our dinners is that they had been all very totally different and felt very very like a eating expertise. If there’s one factor I reside 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 glorious.
I took so many movies, however I didn’t get sufficient nonetheless pictures of every of the eating places, and even every thing we ate. Check out my Instagram tales and reels for the video variations. But listed below are the highlights from our Mayakoba eating places!
Sotavento @ Andaz
Our first day had excellent climate, and it was the perfect evening to eat at Sotavento, which is true on the seaside. They even had a shelf to position your sneakers so you might get the true “toes in 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 exterior, 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 obtained an entire fish. You can’t get far more contemporary than that!
Saffron @ Banyan Tree
When I used to be researching the perfect eating places on some journey boards, Saffron saved developing again and again. With a deal with Thai delicacies, a lot of the eating is ready up on docks overlooking the canals. There was even a tiny island! We obtained fortunate once more with excellent climate. I really feel unhealthy 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 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 potential (that’s at all times my purpose 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. Everything 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 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’ll somebody’s residence with rooms that really feel like dwelling rooms, eating rooms, and a library. There was additionally a guitarist transferring all through, and he performed an acoustic model of “Can’t Stop 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 deliver residence “sunshine in my pocket.”
My sister advised 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 had been. Gimme all of the Mezcal and Tequila!
This was probably the most 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. Much 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 Red snapper with a marinade of dried chili peppers with coriander rice and espelón beans. I feel he ordered fish each evening! He liked it.
We had been typically 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 prime on the desk.
La Laguna @ Fairmont
For our remaining evening we dined at La Laguna on the Fairmont. We obtained there early to stroll round and get a drink earlier than our reservation at 6:30.
Mezcalrita!
Unfortunately because of the rain and wind we weren’t capable of eat out on the lagoon docks. I’m certain this is able to have been as magical as Saffron on a cloudless evening.
Look at this infinity pool subsequent door!!
Aside from sporting the identical costume once more (it was too chilly for my brief attire!), the primary particular person to inform me what’s odd about this image wins!!
Here’s one other trace 🙂 I promise I hadn’t had any Mezcal once I obtained dressed!
The inside the restaurant was very very good too, and the menu was all about conventional Mexican delicacies. It was an incredible spot to finish our journey on.
We sampled a number 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!
Restaurants 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
- Beach Food Fest on the Rosewood
- La Ceiba on the Rosewood (household type)
Hopefully there’s a subsequent time!
