You just have to love a new luxe resort where you have 8 sensational swimming pools like this. Talk about the perfect TRAVEL THERAPY…just looking at this picture is therapy alone! I went to Aqua Cancun’s private launch party last week to find out more about this latest luxury property in Cancun. The resort’s celebrity chef, Michelle Bernstein and famed mixologists Steve Olson were on hand to offer up samples of what you’ll be able to experience at this 371 room property that’s right on beach where every room has a balcony and view of the Caribbean.
Some of the signature dishes I tried and loved:
*Mediterranean Sea Bass Sashimi with Truffle Essence
*Shrimp al Ajillo y Pan con Tomate
*Ceviche of Cabio with Pineapple, Cilantro and Basil
Another hit. The Cinnamon Dusted Churros with an addicting Spicy Chocolate Dipping Sauce. Let’s just say I had more than one!
For signature cocktails there was a potent but delicious margarita variation called Liquid Smoke made with Don Julio Blanco Tequila, Grand Mariner, Fresh lime and agave nectar and the smoke of Del Maguey Chichicapa Mezcal. I could also see no problem laying by the pool and sipping down the refreshing Michy Bonita made with Tanqueray #10, fresh grapefruit, orange and lime with a touch of Chamomile.
You can try these cocktails at Aqua Cancun’s two bars and three restaurants and of course poolside! The resort also has a spa and fitness center and is about 20 minutes from Cancun’s airport, so if you’re looking for a new place to have some fun in the sun this is one property you might want to check out!
