Steve Clouther sent along USA Today‘s article about the 5 coolest beach bars in Riviera Maya. Why? Because North Akumal’s own La Buena Vida is featured. The writer mentions the sand floors, swings, crow’s nest, and Day of the Dead décor. Also singles out some of the signature cocktails and shots, such as the Maya Kiss (a mix of traditional Mayan liquor called Xtabentun with rum and coconut cream) and the Tequila-Politan (a combination of Don Julio Blanco, Controy, cranberry with a squeeze of lime).
Other cool bars of note are La Panza Es Primero in Puerto Morelos, Freddy’s Tequila and Ceviche Bar at Belmond Maroma Resort and Spa, Zenzi Beach Club in Playa del Carmen, and the Blue Parrot Beach Club in Playa.
