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 may cost all of the meals to your property resort room.
We did make reservations for all 4 of our dinners, as was beneficial. We tried to push one in all 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 believe the reservations are crucial. 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 offer precedence to the house resort company. We didn’t have any hassle getting the highest spots!
What I beloved about our dinners is that they had been all very completely different and felt very very like a eating expertise. If there may be one factor I reside for after 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 photographs 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 here are the highlights from our Mayakoba eating places!
Sotavento @ Andaz
Our first day had excellent climate, and it was the best night time to eat at Sotavento, which is correct on the seaside. They even had a shelf to put 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 exterior, feeling a heat breeze, and having fun with recent seafood off an outside grill!
We loved drinks through the sundown:
I had grilled jumbo shrimp with veggies, and Thomas bought an entire fish. You may’t get rather more recent than that!
Saffron @ Banyan Tree
Once I was researching the perfect eating places on some journey boards, Saffron saved arising time and again. With a give attention to Thai delicacies, a lot 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 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 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 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 rooster 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 truly a cut up portion and greater than sufficient! We had been so full. It was fantastic!
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 dwelling 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 dwelling “sunshine in my pocket.”
My sister informed 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 beloved how inventive all of the drinks throughout Mayakoba had been. Gimme all of the Mezcal and Tequila!
This was one of the vital 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 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 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 night time! He beloved it.
We had 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 bought 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 certain this could have been as magical as Saffron on a cloudless night time.
Have a look at this infinity pool subsequent door!!
Other than carrying the identical gown once more (it was too chilly for my brief clothes!), the primary individual to inform me what’s odd about this image wins!!
Right here’s one other trace 🙂 I promise I hadn’t had any Mezcal after I bought dressed!
The within of the restaurant was very very good too, and the menu was all about conventional Mexican delicacies. It was a fantastic 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 beloved 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 completely 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!
