THE ST. REGIS HOTEL & BRANDED RESIDENCES, KANAI, RIVIERA MAYA, MEXICO

F&B OUTLETS: POOL GRILL BAR - RIVIERA


The Riviera Maya, a stretch of Caribbean coastline on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, is famous for its powder-soft beaches and ancient Mayan ruins. Yet, hidden beneath its lush jungle canopy lies another, more mysterious marvel: the cenotes. These natural sinkholes, formed by the collapse of limestone bedrock exposing groundwater, are sacred oases, revered by the ancient Maya as gateways to the underworld and sources of pure water. Their unique blend of crystal-clear turquoise waters, ancient rock formations, filtered light, and vibrant sub-aquatic life offers an unparalleled sensory experience.

For interior designers seeking a profound and calming aesthetic, the cenote serves as an extraordinary wellspring of inspiration, particularly for creating spaces that evoke tranquility, connection to nature, and a sense of timeless wonder.

Seafood restaurant in Playa del Carmen captures the flavors of Mexico's Pacific and Caribbean coasts, blending traditional techniques and fresh, local ingredients with an innovative touch for a seafood-forward menu that's authentic and modern.

Outdoor Pool Grill – A Seaside Oasis

Perched beside the hotel’s sparkling pool, the Outdoor Pool Grill offers diners an unforgettable feast for the senses—a casual, all‑outdoor restaurant framed by a breathtaking ocean vista.

The space is thoughtfully divided into distinct seating zones, each inviting you to linger a little longer. Whether you’re drawn to the sun‑kissed lounge chairs, the breezy bar‑style stools, or the intimate fire‑pit tables, every spot feels like a private escape while still buzzing with the lively energy of a beachside gathering.

Adding a distinctive touch to the setting, CHAPI Design has crafted custom millwork and bespoke furniture that infuse the venue with a vibrant Mexican flair. Hand‑finished wood, bold colors, and playful patterns weave together to create an atmosphere that’s both relaxed and richly cultural—perfect for sipping a refreshing cocktail, sharing a plate of tacos, or simply soaking in the view of the endless blue horizon.

At the Outdoor Pool Grill, the ocean’s rhythm blends seamlessly with flavorful Mexican cuisine, making every meal a celebration of sun, surf, and style.
