The local cuisine will take your taste buds on an adventure, with treats such as cochinita pibil, a traditional slow-roasted pork dish, and poc chuc or Mayan-style barbecued pork. Popular local eateries include El Cocodrilo, El Encanto, and La Casa de los Gorditos, For thrill-seekers, canoeing down the pristine waters of the nearby Laguna Coba adds a touch of adventure to your journey.

“The all-inclusive is great, unlike some all inclusive places the drinks brands are all top tier. The choice of restaurant and the quality of the food is also great (Himitsu & Portofino we’re our personal faves).
