Paradisus Playa del Carmen caters to guests of all ages and types, offering couples a dreamlike stay at the adults-only Paradisus Playa del Carmen, La Perla and rewarding families vacationing in Riviera Maya with lasting memories at the kid-friendly Paradisus Playa del Carmen, La Esmeralda.

However, guests at either all-inclusive resort are guaranteed to have their taste buds satisfied by the 14 exceptional on-site restaurants and 16 world-class bars. That means that there are menus and atmospheres to suit every mood whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Fuego is the resort's adults-only Latin American restaurant serving Latin fusion dishes in a private dining room or out on the terrace while guests can indulge in international dishes prepared right in front of their eyes at Naos, which is open from breakfast to late night.

Indian dinner delights await diners at Vento and if it's a one-of-a-kind fine dining experience you covet, head to Passion by Martin Berasategui. The 10 Star Michelin Chef's award-winning signature cuisine (Basque-French) is enhanced by a glamorous atmosphere and is available to resort guests at a preferential cost.

Enjoy Italian Trattoria creations with an upbeat vibe at Olio or stop into Bana for Asian fusion eats.

Another international buffet option, the adults-only Hadar showcases talented chefs and even boasts an on-the-spot fresh-squeezed fruit juice area for guests seeking to kickstart their day with a casual breakfast.

Mouthwatering contemporary Mexican cuisine can be found at Mole while the Gabi Club offers guests an exciting menu close to the beach. What's more, you don't have to be a vegetarian to fall in love with the impressive selection of natural salads available at The Market or adults-only The Grill. Both also feature a wood-fired oven cooking up heavenly pizzas that guests can enjoy from an outdoor terrace.

Sunrise Grill and Sunset Grill (adults-only) offer guests an informal atmosphere for lunch and the adults-only La Palapa combines fine dining with fresh air from morning to night. Adult guests can also gather at Red Lounge for post-dinner drinks in a sensual setting or head to Toji for traditional hot and cold sakes in addition to infusions and creative cocktails

Meanwhile, tequila and mezcal aficionados won't want to miss Blue Agave. The adults-only M Bar features a wine cellar and an exclusive selection of theme martinis and the modern North Avenue Bar boasts music, dancing and an impressive menu of cocktails. Adults hoping to have some fun away from the kids can check out the South Avenue Bar.

Guests can also look forward to lounge bars, swim-up bars and even a coffee cafe. The hardest part will be deciding which to experience first.
