A delicious all-inclusive

We help you decide where to eat

 

Xel-Há is an all-inclusive park, which means that with your admission ticket you can eat and drink in any of our restaurants as many times as you want, and enjoy all the drinks at the bars as well. We know that this can be complicated since it makes it very difficult to make a decision about in which restaurant to eat. But you don’t have to be concerned anymore because in this blog post we will talk about our restaurants and the culinary offer that each of them has for you.

Xel-Há has one Mexican restaurant, one with international food and one for snacks. Each one of them will offer you excellent service as well as exquisite cuisine that will make you want to return again and again to this hidden wonder.

Chicken Mole

This dish is art in itself because the sauce is made with more than 20 ingredients, including chili peppers and chocolate, which works to counteract the heat of the chili peppers, but the chocolate does not dominate. This sauce is most often served over pork.

Yucatecan pulled pork

Cochinita Pibil is one of the most renowned dishes from the Yucatán state, and we totally love it. This plate is traditionally prepared in a pit, where the meat with seasonings is wrapped in banana leaves and slowly baked in this underground oven, heated with stones placed atop. After that, the banana leaf pack is dug out and served for your enjoyment.
