Originally opened in 1989, the renovation adds a modern touch to the all-inclusive resort, which now showcases over 500 fully enhanced guestrooms and suites in its three towers. The remodel includes new décor using local materials such as conchuela, a compacted marine shell that maintains a room’s temperature cool; new furniture; redesigned bathrooms; new 56″ Smart TV’s in all guestrooms and a faster Wi-Fi connection.
Giving guests a taste of México’s traditions and culture, the beach-front resort also upgraded five of its most popular onsite dining options providing an elevated dining experience with refreshed décor. Inviting foodies to take a culinary journey through an international cuisine, guest can expect the ultimate gastronomic experience at the resort’s ten specialty restaurants including its signature El Mexican, where guests will enjoy a taste of true Mexican culture.
El Mexicano features a one-stop gastronomic tour through the most emblematic Mexican dishes. In collaboration of the restaurant’s chef Jonathan Salinas, the menu was enhanced while staying true to original recipes that use authentic ingredients to provide the highest quality of Mexican cuisine. The contemporary presentation of each dish is carefully crafted using unique garnishes with a creative touch. The most representative dish on the menu is the Costillar de Res, or rib of beef, cooked in its juices and served with a freshly made guajillo chili sauce and garnished with an avocado leaf for aroma. The Costillar de Res pairs perfectly with the special hibiscus margarita.
Additional renovated dining areas include La Cenaduria, the Lobby Bar, the Sushi Bar, and La Cevicheria. With its beautiful beachside location overlooking the turquoise water, La Cevicheria is a popular venue that offers Caribbean fusion cuisine with highlights from the best of Mexico with specialty dishes such as the famous Aguachile de Sinaloa seafood syrup, shrimp cocktails, and the shrimp and fish tacos.
Other restaurants include At K’ambu where you will enter a festival of aromas and flavors with Asian fare that breaks the mold, while Rosato transports you to the heart of Italy to feast on its cuisine within a truly unique setting. If what you crave is an Argentine cut of steak paired with a delicious wine, San Telmo is the go-to. You can also mdive into a sea of flavors at Xacay to enjoy a variety of seafood brought in from different corners of the world.
For those looking to detox, the Miiluma Spa offers a number of spa services onsite and includes access to the spa, sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi all day with every treatment.
