ANDAZ MAYAKOBA RESORT RIVIERA MAYA
The Best of South America
The white sands and the cerulean beaches of the Caribbean
serve as the ideal backdrop to the Andaz Mayakoba Resort
Riviera Maya, which boasts four restaurants offering
local specialties.
Open exclusively for dinner and serving diverse Latin
American cuisine, Casa Amate’s must-have is the local
Tikinxic (pronounced teekeen sheek), a marinated hogfish
with anato Yucatán seed sauce. At Cocina Milagro, try the
pulpo (octopus) fajita, served with guacamole, pico de gallo
(a salsa) and tortillas. For dinner (the menus differ), we
recommend the nage poached red snapper, served with
native achiote, lemon and rustic potato with olive.
Olla Taco is open for all your meals, and the tasty
sauces made with local produce are well worth sampling.
For breakfast, try the delicious enchiladas filled with
scrambled egg, bean sauce and roasted tomato, Mexican
sausage crumble, pickled onion and roasted habanero
chilli. End the day with a white chocolate mousse (it uses
strawberry and rhubarb cream, abuelita chocolate crumble
and horchata ice cream) at the beachfront OllaCeviche. But
the real winner? OllaCeviche’s tequila bar, with over 25
different tequilas. Salud! ▪
