Guests were treated to an extraordinary 8 course authentic Mayan tasting menu, replicating a dining experience that is exclusive to guests of Rosewood Mayakoba resort, located in the idyllic Riviera Maya. The event was coordinated by the leading Sroka Worldwide marketing team, headed by industry veteran and company founder Neal Sroka.

La Ceiba Dinner pays homage to Authentic Mayan cuisine and heritage, with a name that is derived from the ceiba tree, one of Mayan Culture’s most important symbols, signifying prosperity, strength & unity. The dinner is an extravagant celebration of the food, spirit, and flavor of Playa Del Carmen, served bountifully in a family-style setting, accompanied by free-flowing tequila of the highest quality.
