Dining at the Palafitos Overwater Bungalows is more than a convenience—it’s a highlight of your entire stay. Each meal is thoughtfully crafted, from sunrise breakfasts with a view of the sea to candlelit dinners under the stars. As a Palafitos guest, you’ll enjoy exclusive access to the Overwater Grill & Wine Bar, perched above the Caribbean with floor-to-glass windows that let you gaze straight into the crystal-clear waters below. Here, the rhythm of the waves accompanies every bite, whether you're savoring fresh ceviche at lunch or pairing a bold red with grilled seafood at sunset.

Beyond the overwater dining experience, your stay opens the door to the award-winning culinary offerings at El Dorado Maroma. One evening, you might linger over housemade pasta and wine at Mio Cuccina Italiana. The next, you’re stepping into Kiyoko, where Pacific Rim flavors come to life through made-to-order sushi and delicately seasoned stir fry. Craving regional specialties? Sabores delights with rich Mexican and Caribbean dishes that change daily, offering something new with each visit.

For a more casual beachfront vibe, Papitos Gourmet Beach Club invites you to dine with your toes in the sand, enjoying freshly grilled favorites, tropical fruit, and cool drinks beneath a thatched roof. Every restaurant on the property honors the Gourmet Inclusive® promise—fresh, locally sourced ingredients, elegant presentation, and flavors that stay with you long after the meal is done.
Here, dining isn’t just about nourishment—it’s an experience meant to be savored, shared, and remembered.


Gourmet Inclusive® Dining Experiences

Elevate your relaxation at the Náay Spa, situated over the water and offering treatments inspired by ancient Mayan herbal practices and the antioxidant-rich Maroma Beach sea moss. Indulge in massages, facials, and body treatments designed to rejuvenate your body and spirit.

Náay Spa: Wellness Above the Waves

From the moment you arrive at Palafitos Overwater Bungalows, the experience is elevated by thoughtful touches that make you feel instantly at ease. You're welcomed with a glass of champagne—your first taste of the relaxed luxury that defines the resort. Step inside your private bungalow and you’ll find a fully stocked minibar, refreshed daily with cold beer, bottled water, and soft drinks. It's a small detail, but one that makes every moment feel effortless.

Want something more? Room service is available around the clock. Whether you’re craving a late-night dessert or an early morning breakfast with the sunrise, a gourmet meal is always just a call away. Prefer something shaken or stirred? You’ll have access to premium domestic and international beverages throughout the resort, whether you're lounging by the pool or relaxing on your private deck.

Adventure and wellness blend seamlessly into your days here. You might spend the morning gliding over the turquoise waters in a kayak or exploring the sea with complimentary snorkeling gear. Curious about scuba diving? Try an introductory scuba clinic in the pool and get a taste of life below the surface.

When it’s time to unwind, the resort offers more than one way to recharge. Head to the fitness center for a quick workout, or ease into relaxation with the sauna and steam room. In the evenings, live music and cultural performances offer a vibrant close to your day, reminding you that even nights are alive with energy and charm.
