Le Blanc’s “standard” buffet is the most amazing buffet you’ll ever experience!

I realize that it’s very odd for me to write an entire blog about a hotel’s buffet, but I just have to share this with you because it is so amazing!  While I can go on and on (and I am sure I will in another blog) about Le Blanc’s amazing hotel and amenities, today I want to share with you what their ‘standard’ buffet looks like.  Remember, this is an all-inclusive hotel so you can eat as much as you want for as long as you want.
In three center of the entire buffet food area are 3 fabulous chefs that grill, sauté, or fry the items YOU have chosen for your meal.

While that in itself may not impress you, take a look at the amazing variety available for you to chose from:

Amazing seafood, beef, chicken! Again, you can have as much as you want – it’s included in your package!

Take a look just behind my friend, Julio, and notice the wonderful variety of sauces.  After you have chosen what you want to eat, how you want it cooked, and in what seasoning…then you can add your favorite sauce – or all try  of them!

But the amazing buffet doesn’t end there!  There is a huge variety of hot and cold sides to chose from:

And, of course, the most delicious desserts you have ever tried! Including home made ice cream ‘to die for’:

As I mentioned earlier, the buffet is not the only amazing thing about Le Blanc, but I was so impressed with the food, the service and the ambiance that I just had to share this with you!

Excellence Riviera Cancun is calling to you..are you listening?

Ready for a vacation? I hear the Excellence Riviera Cancun calling your name!  This resort is an Adult-Only, All-Inclusive paradise that offers you the luxurious atmosphere to relax in OR you can go a little 'wild’ and party at the swim-up bar or the piano bar.  There are hammocks on every balcony and patio as well as scattered around the beach and pool areas – don’t you hear them calling for you? Can you picture yourself relaxing in the warm, tropical weather?  Hmmmm…I can see it!

While the entire property is definitely 5 star, I must add that it’s those “little touches” in my hotel room that make my stay most enjoyable….like a comfy robe and slippers, or a variety of tea in my room for the morning, the fully stocked mini bar, or maybe it’s the great toiletries that they leave in my room.

Trust me when I say, you are going to enjoy your stay at the Excellence Riviera Cancun.  The staff is friendly, the amenities are excellent and the resort itself is absolutely beautiful.  Email me today for your FREE personalized quote on a trip to Excellence Rivera Cancun. Add round-trip airfare to your package and get additional discounts!  There are many airlines that now have direct flights to Cancun which gives you shorter travel time and more time on the beach or at the pool bar!
