Grand Mayan & Mayan Palace Riviera Maya Vacation Review Day 3

Our third day we decided to try one of the other restaurants for breakfast.  We found Balche (which I mentioned yesterday in my Day 2 review) which is the restaurant by the pool.  For breakfast they also do a buffet (just like Del Lago).  The different is that this one is $14 instead of $19 and we couldn’t find anything that was missing.  So definitely try this one if you want to save a little money.  The food and service were nearly identical.  The only difference was that Del Lago is a bit more secluded where Balche is right by the pool.  It was great for us, but I suppose everyone is different.

The pool that Balche is by is right by the beach as well which is where Brio is located.  Brio is the fitness center on the Grand Mayan and Mayan Palace grounds.  This is a great place to work out if you want to while on vacation.  Unless you are an owner or a guest of an owner it will cost you $8/person/day.

Our day was filled with more laying by the pool and we also enjoyed a little liquid lunch.  From 11 am – 1 pm each day the bartenders walk around each pool and take drink orders for happy hour.  That’s right happy hour from 11 am – 1 pm.  Almost all of the drinks are buy one get one free.  The only catch is that in order to get one free it has to be the same as your paid drink.  That usually wasn’t a problem for us, but just be warned that if you order 2 different drinks and ask for the happy hour special you will get 4 drinks!

We finished our day with a nice dinner at Tramanto, the Italian restaurant on the property.  We set up a reservation since we were told they were required and also dressed in business casual.  When we arrived we found that they don’t stick to either of those too much.  However, just to be safe I would recommend both!
