Why foodies should stay at Ocean Riviera Paradise in Mexico
Cuisine connoisseur? Find out why this hotel is the perfect place for you.
If your holidays are just as much about the food as the sun and sea, the Ocean Riviera Paradise in Riviera Maya, Mexico, is the hotel for you. You’ll get all the staples you’d expect from an All Inclusive resort, like a sandy beach on your doorstep, six pools and evening entertainment. But you’ll also be treated to a whopping nine restaurants and 12 bars, impressive right? Choose to stay here, and you’ll get the chance to eat your way around the world, around the clock, thanks to restaurants serving international dishes and 24/7 room service. So, whether you want to sink your teeth into a juicy steak or nibble on bite-sized cakes, you’ll easily find something to whet your appetite. Read on to find out why Ocean Riviera Paradise is the perfect place for foodies.

Brilliant Breakfasts
Kickstart the day with a hearty breakfast in the Amaranto buffet restaurant. It’s a self-serve spot with live cooking stations. Here, you can get freshly made eggs, pancakes and more. You’ll also find all the staples like cereal, fruit and sweet treats. Or, if you’re staying in the adults-only area, head to BlueMoon restaurant for a quieter setting. Later in the day, visit Mike’s coffee for a refreshing smoothie or an iced coffee. Pair it with a pastry or a cake for a mid-morning energy boost before relaxing back by the pool.
Lazy lunches
If all that sunbathing has got you feeling peckish, we vote one of the pool snack bars for lunch. There are three of them serving up grab-and-go options like burgers and chips. You’ll also find fresh dishes like paella, tacos, and nachos served around the pool, and you’ve got bagels and sandwiches over at Mike’s Coffee, too. Back at the buffet, there’s everything from pizza and pasta to stir-fry and curry. If you're down at the beach, you can grab snacks, light bites and refreshing drinks from Pez Vela Restaurant.
Tasty treats
Travelling with little ones? It’s no easy feat tearing an excited child away from the splash pool, but the midday heat in Mexico is no joke either, so if you need to escape to the shade for a bit, we suggest a trip to the ice-cream shop, which is included in your All Inclusive. This spot’s a hit with both adults and kids thanks to the range of flavours and toppings available. Pick up a free cone of cold sugary goodness and chill out in the air-conditioned shop while you eat your tasty treats.
Delicious dinners
Dinner time is when the à la carte restaurants open their doors. There are five to choose from – Italian, Mexican, American and a steakhouse. There’s another one at the beach, where your dinner is served with a side of sea views. And if you’re booked into the Adult's Area El Beso section, you can also take advantage of the BlueMoon restaurant. Booked a Privilege room? You’ll get priority dining in all the à la carte’s, a cooked-to-order breakfast in a private area and gourmet dining in the Privilege Restaurant – with a terrace facing out to the sea and a special dinner included for stays of 4 nights or more.
