Welcome to Punta Bonita, Rosewood Mayakoba’s Refreshed Poolside Restaurant

After a time under renovation, Rosewood Mayakoba’s iconic Punta Bonita is looking better than ever.

No matter how long a stay at Rosewood Mayakoba, there are certain corners that guests come back to over and over. Punta Bonita restaurant, placed by the pool, has always been that kind of place. With views of the powder-soft beach and turquoise water, it’s one of the resort’s most beloved gathering spots thanks to its laid-back atmosphere, fresh dining offerings, and postcard-perfect views.

After a time under renovation, Punta Bonita is back, and it’s time to discover its charms all over again.

 

Where Indoor and Outdoor Meet

All-day dining takes on a new meaning at Punta Bonita, welcoming guests from breakfast to dinner, with lunch and snack times in between. With this in mind, the refreshed space blurs the line between indoors and outdoors, with open-air pavilions, timber beans, and textured stone bases that echo the colors of the Caribbean.

The space is divided into three areas: the main restaurant, offering indoor seating and a covered outdoor terrace; the beachfront lounge, centered around an inviting firepit –ideal for sunset cocktails and easy chats–; and the oceanfront cocktail bar, where signature drinks are paired with inspiring views and warm breeze.

 

On the Menu: What to Order at Punta Bonita

With a menu based on Mediterranean flavors and seasonal, local ingredients, Punta Bonita offers a dining experience as light and breezy as the ocean it sits by. Start your journey at the Crudo Bar, boasting the freshest bounty from the sea –think king crab, scallops, lobster, oysters, shrimp, and abalone, dressed with seasonings like mignonette, ponzu, and tartare sauce. Main dishes include flavor-packed creations like Black Truffle Arancino, honey-glazed Lamb Chops, and Local Striped Bass, best paired with crisp salads like Caesar or Watermelon Salad with feta cheese.

Family-style dishes pay tribute to both Mediterranean and local culture with generous portions meant to be shared. Make sure to try the Fideuà, the Whole Fish Baked in Salt Crust, and the Bouillabaisse, prepared with red snapper, clams, and lobster. For a sweet ending, save room for the Figs & Goat Cheese (wrapped in filo pastry) or the Limoncello, a zesty creation with lemonade and mint sorbet.

A Toast to the Caribbean: Drinks at Punta Bonita 

The new cocktail menu at Punta Bonita leans on artisanal mezcals, tropical infusions, and bright Mexican ingredients like mango, hibiscus, and lime, resulting in lively sips that perfectly reflect the restaurant’s welcoming spirit. Toast to perfect days by the beach with the All In (amaro, tequila, pimiento, orange, canella) or the Mango Cooler, a low-ABV, tropical spritz. Alcohol-free options are equally enticing, as is the wine list, highlighting Italian, Mexican, and Californian labels to complement each bite harmoniously.
