We got to sample both terrific chef-made sushi rolls, many feature unusual ingredients such as mango or Mexican fish, in addition to the usual tuna, avocado and other usual ingredients you expect to find at a sushi bar. When you arrive at Jade, you first get taken to a long tea bar, at which you have a wide selection of tea choices.Over tea, the host discusses with you what you’re in the mood for that night, and then directs you either to a table at the sushi bar, a regular table, or a table at which you can enjoy Shabu Shabu (cooking raw meats, seafood, vegetables and noodles in steaming broth). There’s also Jade, an amazing Pan-Asian restaurant with beautiful decorated tables look out to ocean views. Grilled Salmon, cauliflower puree vegetables & chardonnay reduction Glazed duck salad, cherry tomatoes, arugula and berries compote Roasted beets with beet foam and dried vegetables Of note, each of the four courses came with a paired wine tasting, drawing from the Wine and Kitchen’s bar extensive collection. Here’s the tasting menu we ate from, drawn from items on their regular menu, along with pictures of the amazing food served by the chef. Each course proved superb, with complex and perfectly balanced seasonings, fresh ingredients and a bit of molecular cooking wizardry thrown into the mix to create the foams to dried seasoning spreads on the plates. WOW! It topped out some of the best food I’ve eaten from New York to Paris to Rome. Before dinner, you can grab fun and festive drinks at the elegant Sling Bar.ĭinner at the Wine Kitchen bar where we did a tasting menu proved to be among the top five meals of my life.
Generations features five restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisine – from Mediterranean to Pan Asian to Mexican to succulent snacks and chocolate. No wonder it took them over ten years to perfect the “Gourmet Inclusive” program for their Karisma hotels. While I adore putting my wallet in the room safe for the duration of the stay, I’m an obsessed foodie and generally find all-inclusive hotels to have mediocre food that primarily consists of lackluster buffets and hamburger grills.īut the food at Generations Riviera Maya becomes where this resort leaves other all-inclusives behind. On the food front, I find that I’m always wary of all-inclusive properties. While we spent much of our time focused on the Little Eko Chefs program, we also had the opportunity to tour the resort’s many amenities and eat most of the Generation’s restaurants. Moreover, living up to it’s name, the resort has been designed to accommodate multi-generational families traveling together- the perfect destination for grandparents, children and grandchildren to luxuriate in a vacation where everyone’s needs get easily met. The Riviera Maya proves itself to be convenient, beautiful, and luxurious for any getaway, while the resort itself takes hospitality and fun one step further with a new culinary program for children, teaching them sustainable and delicious cooking techniques. Generations Riviera Maya lives up to the impeccable style of Karisma Hotels & Resorts along the Mexican Riveria: upscale, gorgeous spacious modern rooms, each with a full-on view of the ocean, lovely swimming pool and swim-up bar, fantastic kids club, and impeccable gourmet dining at five on-property restaurants. Just a quick drive down the coast from the Cancun airport, you get there in about 20 minutes.
Generations offers up a luxurious all-inclusive beachfront resort surrounded by palm trees, warm breezes, and picture-perfect ocean views.
I just got back from Generations Riviera Maya in the Mexican Caribbean – the newest resort outpost by Karisma Hotels & Resorts nestled in the midst of the breathtaking Riviera Maya. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own. * I received a complimentary press trip to Generations Riviera Maya.
