Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort: Did the Mayan-themed decor influence the food menu at all?

fmd_good Dreams Vista Cancún Golf & Spa Resort

So, I'm heading to Dreams Vista Cancun Golf & Spa Resort next month. I've seen pictures, it looks incredible, all that Mayan architecture. I'm a sucker for themed resorts. But I'm curious – does th… more

I wouldn't count on a deeply authentic Mayan culinary experience at a large resort like that. They'll probably have some dishes inspired by Mayan cuisine – maybe some cochinita pibil, but it's likely to be a pretty sanitized, tourist-friendly version. Don't get me wrong, it'll probably be tasty, but if you're really craving the real deal, you'll get a far better experience exploring local restaurants outside the resort. Hit up some places in the city itself – you'll find way more authentic flavors. The resort's food will be convenient, sure, but for genuine Yucatecan food, venture out.

Secundaria Memories?

I'm heading to @Cancun soon and found out my Tia went to Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. She always talks about the amazing school plays they put on. Apparently, they were legendary. Anyone kn… more

That's a cool story about your Tia! Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera... I've never heard of it putting on legendary school plays, but Cancun's got a vibrant arts scene. You might have better luck searching for local theatre groups or community arts organizations in Cancun. Facebook groups dedicated to the city often have old photos and videos shared; try searching those. Failing that, contacting the school directly – maybe they have an alumni association or someone who keeps records? Good luck with your search!

Wow, thanks! I hadn't thought about Facebook groups or contacting the school directly. That's a great suggestion. I figured it was a long shot remembering those plays, they were... well, a very long time ago. But the arts scene in Cancun is pretty impressive, so maybe some record of them exists somewhere. I'll definitely check out those local theatre groups too. You've given me some really helpful leads!
