I apologize for some glitches in the video. I did not have the time to redo them before it was set to go up. Hopefully, you can look past them and get the info you need. 😊

In this video we are taking you on a food journey through all of Excellence Riviera Cancun’s restaurants, bars, their menus and some of the dishes we enjoyed.
AROMA is the resort coffee shop. Located upstairs across from the check-in desks.
MARTINI BAR is the central hub of the resort.
SPORTS BAR is located just past the shops. It features cold beers, cocktails and pub grub.
FLAVOR MARKET is Spanish Tapas and open until midnight for late night munchies and sangria.

SPICE is Asian Cuisine. If you want to enjoy the Teppanyaki show cooking then you need to make a reservation for that as they are set start times. If you want to dine off of the regular Spice menu there is no need to make a reservation. There are a limited number of Korean BBQ table grills and Yakiniku so ask ahead about those if you want it.

Just my luck. I'm about to visit this spot in a month, which will be my first ever Excellence property….and…Flavor Market might not even be open at all. Sigh.
I assume there’s no dinner ( supper) buffet, did I misunderstand? Also I didn’t see chicken cordon blue on the French menus. Did I just miss it? Your videos by the way are fantastic, great filming and perfect voice! Oh I also find the tipping a bit confusing, I’m never sure if I’m doing too much or not enough. Any suggestions? 🇨🇦👏🌴
Just in time we leave tomorrow. It's a great refresher. Basmati was our favorite. Flavor Market still shows open next week and hope to hit it up for some apps and sangria. Again, great video!
Does anyone know what beers are available at the majority of the bars? Reviews always focus on mixed drinks. Thanks
