Buffet 350 pesos. The 3 star rating is concerning people who don’t eat a lot of meat – for those the value-for-money ratio is not justified.

Come on people. How can RCI identify this “resort” as Gold? It is dated and in despar are need of a major remodel. The tiles are old and dirty looking. When the pressure sales people tried to talk me into a presentation, I laughed. The…Mayan Resort in Nuevo Vallarta is heads above this tired outdated facility. Don’t consider this resort if you want Gold!More

We spent two weeks at the Mayan Palace in Marina Vallarta and ate several buffet breakfasts at Bakal. The quality of choices impressed us! An omelette bar with a Chef who, also, cooked to order, breads, cold cuts, cheese, Mexican dishes and soup, salads, pancakes,…French toast, oatmeal, juices, fruit and Mexican hot chocolate, my favorite! Exceptional service by Miguel and staff!More

We were guests at Mayan Palace in Marina Vallarta and had three buffet breakfasts/brunches at Bakan. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality and choices that were laid out – baked goods have oftentimes disappointed us in Mexico but not at Vidanta resorts – nice…array of breads, cold cuts, cheeses. An omelette bar as well as a Mexican station – with chefs willing to accommodate your choice(s). Hot dishes varied from Mexican dishes to Western staples plus juices, fruits, Mexican hot chocolate and oatmeal or a local soup. More importantly, the staff worked hard to make your visit thoroughly enjoyable – kudos to the staff at Bakal!More

I have eaten brunch here a number of times this year. The food is always fresh and the waitstaff accommodating. We eat outside with the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop. This buffet has a wide variety of foods. Something for everyone in your party. I…suggest that you arrive for the 11:30 AM seating. It costs a little less and the breakfast crowd is at the beach. You do not have to be staying at the resort to use this restaurant and they will validate your parking ticket if you drive.More
