La Hacienda — Restaurant in Quintana Roo

Overall marginally below average when it comes to food. Almost everything is just mediocre food and bland. Would expect to have some authentic Mexican food, nope! Far from that. They have a theme for every day however the food still looks to be the same the entire week with minimal changes between lunch and dinner. Desserts were good, thank you!

The bowl to cook to your liking was confusing and I never found on how to request that. I wish I could have learnt it and might have actually liked their food.

Silver lining: Sunday was a special dinner was you can order your food to your liking. It was really good. The best dining from the buffet. Salmon - see the attached image. It was like gourmet food.

Beer battered fish and tempura battered fish was good.

I never found any wait and service gets better if you’re a spicy couple. Dining alone, you might get ignored to get water. I had to get up and ask for the water on one occasion. Too bad!

Conclusion: the actual restaurants were serving mediocre food, so the buffet was the place I ended up most of the time...

Ocean Maya Royale's buffet restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, you can always visit it and don't have to make a reservation. The restaurant is pretty large, loud and not cozy, it's more like a canteen, both in terms of ambience and food quality. In contrast to other restaurants of the resort the selection of food is here pretty high, some of the food is premade (and is kept warm), some food will be made fresh for you...

This is one of the restaurants on-site at the Valentin Imperial Maya resort in Playa Del Carmen. During our stay for vacation, we noticed this restaurant had the longest wait line of all the other restaurants at the resort. The food was tasty but the sea bass I ordered could've used more salt, hence the 4 star reviews.

Service was excellent. I recommend arriving early to...
