Immerses guests into a traditional Mexican dinner
We’re all getting excited for the holidays! The Fives Beach Hotel & Residences, an all-inclusive resort, located 20 minutes away from downtown Playa del Carmen, invites groups staying at the beachfront property to enjoy an unforgettable culinary experience that fully immerses guests into a traditional Mexican dinner at La Casa de Rosa.
Ideal for groups, an evening at La Casa de Rosa (which means the home of Rosa) takes place in a traditional Mexican home located within the resort. Upon entrance, groups feel transformed into a truly special and intimate space– terracotta tiles throughout, a long dinner table beautifully dressed with an embroidered white tablecloths adorned with colorful accents and woven seats, glass windows lined with ironwork, two fogones (traditional on-the-ground wood-burning stove) for cooking that take-up most of the space, and outside a charming patio with mix-matched furniture including a rocking chair – all make-up the authentic experience that awaits. Rosa herself greets everyone as they arrive, offering a welcome tequila and mezcal tasting to start off the experience.
After enjoying some traditional mariachis and local drinks, Rosa splits the guests into smaller groups, where they’ll take turns in making Mexican delicacies like tlacoyos and tortillas, nopal salad, fresh green tomatillo salsa, and fish tamales roasted over the ovens as the main course. As the groups switch stations and bring the night’s menu to life, the expert lady chefs will teach each guest how to use a traditional tortilla making machine, how to wrap a tamale correctly, and more tips only a true native would know.
Lastly, the group will sit down at a long table that has been traditionally set up and decorated to enjoy the Mexican delicacies cooked alongside Rosa.
