The Mayakoba Eating places

Top-of-the-line 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. Examine them right here! Not solely can you’re taking a straightforward golf cart from one property to the subsequent, however you may cost all of the meals to your house resort room. 

We did make reservations for all 4 of our dinners, as was really helpful. We tried to push one in all our reservations again by an hour they usually weren’t ready to take action as a result of it was utterly 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’s 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 all the things we ate. Take a look at my Instagram tales and reels for the video variations. However listed below are the highlights from our Mayakoba eating places!

Sotavento @ Andaz

Our first day had excellent climate, and it was the perfect night time to eat at Sotavento, which is correct on the seaside. They even had a shelf to put your footwear so you possibly 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 contemporary seafood off an outside grill! 

We loved drinks in the course of the sundown:

I had grilled jumbo shrimp with veggies, and Thomas bought an entire fish. You may’t get rather more contemporary 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 concentrate on Thai delicacies, many of the eating is about up on docks overlooking the canals. There was even a tiny island! We bought 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 certain what they do as a result of I didn’t see a big indoor house. 

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 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 potential (that’s all the time 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. Every part 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’re going to somebody’s house with rooms that really feel like residing rooms, eating rooms, and a library. There was additionally a guitarist transferring 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 convey house “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 cherished how inventive 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. 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 really like all meals + drinks with foams!) 

Thomas ordered Crimson snapper with a marinade of dried chili peppers with coriander rice and espelón beans. I believe he ordered fish each night time! He cherished it. 

We had been typically too full for dessert, however we needed to get one this night time 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 remaining night time we dined at La Laguna on the Fairmont. We bought 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 could 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 gown once more (it was too chilly for my brief 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 bought dressed!

The within of the restaurant was very very good too, and the menu was all about conventional Mexican delicacies. It was an important 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 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 attempt 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 fashion)

Hopefully there’s a subsequent time!
