We ate here several times both for breakfast and dinner at a recent stay at Pueblo Bonita Blanco. It's a buffet for breakfast and dinner. I agree with another commenter that the quality of the food at the dinner buffet wasn't always great, though we were overall really happy with the breakfast buffet. The whole point to us of doing something all inclusive is so that we can turn our brains off and just relax without having to plan or make a lot of choices, and for that a buffet is great as there's typically something for everyone.
At least from what we saw, the breakfasts were very similar spreads, with an omelette bar, really great french toast, a bunch of fruit and juice options, ceviche, a big pastry spread, and then everything else you'd expect in a nice breakfast buffet. The Sunday brunch was especially good, adding a bunch of meat options and sushi.
The dinners there were rotating themes every night. I think we were there for an international night and an Argentinian night. The quality of food was a little more hit or miss for dinner, though there was a wide selection for each of those nights, including a bunch of healthy options and salads in addition to pasta, meat, and a bunch of desserts. There was also a very adorable kitten that lived nearby and that would come and play on quiet nights.
Service was great, super attentive. I wanted to especially call out Jose Luis and Yareth, who waited on us two nights there and who were very friendly, accommodating, and entertaining. Our high school aged daughter is learning Spanish and they took time to speak to her slowly in Spanish, which was great. Really appreciated their service...
Read moreMare Nostrum is the main buffet restaurant at Pueblo Bonito Rose and has fabulous buffets. We have the breakfast buffet pretty much every day (sometimes we venture to Las Polamas for breakfast).
The buffet has something for everyone! I always have a fresh made omelette at the omelette station. They have all kinds of choices to customize your omelette and the omelette makers are always so sweet and engaging- they love to help me practice my Spanish.
In addition to the omelette station, there are many other options. There are typical Mexican dishes such as huevos Rancheros, refried beans, pork stew and chilaquiles!!
The chilaquiles are a must have for use. The buffet offers greens and red chilaquiles!
There’s also a huge variety of fresh juices, fresh fruit, bagels, toast, cereal. The toast section of the buffet has many butter and jam options.
The ambiance is wonderful. There are lots of seating options inside and outside. We always sit on the patio that faces the ocean. The view is breathtaking.
The wait staff is very attentive and accommodating. They are quick to take our cocktails orders and keep our glasses filled.
They also have a lunch and dinner buffet. The dinner buffet has a different theme...
Read moreFirst and foremost, the expectation to an all-inclusive should never be too high. Secondly, like any restaurant, they have to have downtime. Hours are posted. There is indoor and outdoor sitting. If you're all inclusive, ask and keep asking to make sure it's covered. That's the best way to go about this. The breakfast varies by day, and so do the dinners. The Rose has other selections. Fellinis needs a reservation (ask concierge). My time spent here for almost a week was very pleasant, and the service was great! The views...
