I must admit that I had some reservations before I traveled with regard to my unfamiliarity with the resort designation of 'gourmet inclusive'. While I enjoy a wide variety of foods, a select few, if any could be considered 'gourmet'. That being said, before I left for my adventure in Mexico I kept an open mind knowing that they must have something on their 'gourmet' menu that I would enjoy.
Starting with my arrival meal, I had a number of wonderful dining experiences.
While I enjoyed every meal, and sampled as many different eateries as I could there was only one restaurant that I returned to more than once. My favorite dining experience was at Kampai in the El Dorado Royale Casitas Section.
Kampai offers different menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, each with Asia-themed fare coupled with traditional Mexican dishes. Something that I came to appreciate during my time at the El Dorado Resorts were the smaller portion sizes. I appreciated that I could finish my entire meal without feeling over stuffed and uncomfortable. It also allowed us to try multiple dishes, appetizers, and desserts.

| Arooz Desayuno (Breakfast Rice) |
To be specific, allow me to share with you some of our favorite selections. Beginning with their breakfast menu, my fiance absolutely enjoyed, and still raves about the, Pan frances relleno de queso crema y almendras con salsa de mango or simply a cream cheese stuffed french toast with mango puree. She describes it as heaven on a plate. My favorite breakfast selection was the Arroz Desayuno or Breakfast Rice. It may not sound very exciting, but the layers of flavor made it my favorite breakfast that I had all 9 nights I spent at El Dorado Resorts.

| Seared Ahi Tuna |
On another afternoon we also enjoyed what I would consider to be the best lunch I ate while in Mexico. It was during the lunch that we truly got to experience the Asian cuisine. I ordered the seared Ahi Tuna, which was bookended by spring roll appetizers and a homemade tapioca and coconut ice cream. I eat Asian food frequently in the US and nothing I've had has compared with this meal. The tuna was fresh and cooked to perfection, and every dish looked almost too beautiful to eat.
Though these were some of our favorites, I encourage everyone to experiment and try something new. Try foods that are harder to come by at home, or that you are less familiar with. The chefs at Karisma Resorts are top-notch, so this is the time to escape your food routine and try something you normally would not. For example, being from the Midwest, I try to take full advantage of the availability of seafood while at the resort. If fresh fish does not entice you, it is only a small portion of a wide and incredible menu. With Karisma Resorts you can have a 'safe' culinary adventure! If you order a dish and do not like it, the staff are always more than happy to bring you something else that you will enjoy.
