Gourmet Inclusive means that Karisma Resorts only uses the finest authentic ingredients and prepare most of their foods in-house. Each resort bakes their own bread and pastry on a daily basis. They make their own pasta. All of their sauces are made from scratch. They do not believe in pre-made or canned foods.
And they only use the finest food suppliers. All food prepared at the El Dorado Spa Resorts & Hotels and the Azul Hotels are made with their guests in mind. also, they often test new dishes just to make sure they are absolutely delicious and satisfying.
They are passionate about their hospitality and cuisine. Their food preparation techniques are a melting pot of international influences. The goal of their chefs is to not only produce some mouth-watering creations for their guests, but to turn each meal into an experience in itself.
Announcement: My Karisma Maven Defined
ma-ven [mey-vuhn] –noun: an expert or connoisseur, “…one who accumulates knowledge. The fact that Mavens want to help, for no other reason than because they like to help, turns out to be an awfully effective way of getting someone’s attention. The one thing that a Maven is not is a persuader. [They are] not the kind of person who wants to twist your arm. To be a Maven is to be a teacher. But it is also, even more emphatically to be a student. Mavens are really information brokers, sharing and trading what they know. A Maven is someone who wants to solve other people’s problems.” From “The Tipping Point”, by Malcolm Gladwell, 2000.
At My Karisma Maven we strive to partner with our clients to assure a vacation of a lifetime. Whether a Honeymoon, Destination Wedding or a Romantic Getaway, tell us your desires and let our Gourmet Inclusive Vacation Consultants guide you to the vacation of your dreams.
Back from Mexico
Wow, what a trip! We (Patrick and I) just returned from a ‘working vacation’ to Mexico. Our host hotel was the award winning El Dorado Seaside Suites located south of Playa del Carmen in the beautiful Mayan Riviera. We were guests of Funjet Vacations and the El Dorado Seaside Suites. The trip was for Funjet’s top producers and included over 100 travel agents from Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and Alabama (If I left out any other states, I apologize.)
The trip was a combination of hotel inspections, classroom training and speeches by local tourism boards and government officials. There was some ‘fun’ time, too, as we had some pool and beach time. They also threw us several beach parties which were a blast.
Our arrival at the Cancun Airport was uneventful with the lines at immigration very short. One new thing was filling out a short health form and our temperature taken with a light emitting thermometer (I’ve never seen this before, it was way cool!) While a bit strange, I was comforted that they are serious about keeping folks out that are running a temperature on arrival. So be prepared and don’t travel to Mexico if you’re sick!
Our bus transfer time to the hotel was about 1 1/2 hours. Our group check-in was done on the bus, so on arrival we were whisked right to our room. We had a ground floor Swim-Up Jacuzzi Junior Suite. Exiting our terrace back door, we walked right into the ‘lazy river’ and waded a short distance to the swim-up bar. Which we did, promptly! The rest of the day was at leisure so we hung out at the pool.
That night we were treated to the first of two beach parties. It was a great time as we rekindled old friendships and made new ones. The DJ was hot, and open to requests. We dined on the beach with gourmet fajitas and deserts. It was wonderful!
