Playa Del Carmen, Mexico (PressExposure) January 05, 2011 -- One big advantage of living in Mexico is the large variety of high-quality services available; this fact is true for food as well, and Mexicans have done an excellent job presenting their own rich and varied traditions to the world.
Playa del Carmen real estate is one of the finest options for Americans and Canadians who want to enjoy both international variety, and excellent presentations of local cooking traditions. One less-well known of these traditions was recently celebrated with an international award for a Mayan restaurant in this community.
The restaurant to receive the award is called Yaxche, located on Fifth Avenue, the main pedestrian street running parallel to the beachfront, offering many excellent dining, shopping and nightlife options. The restaurant has gained a reputation for offering local Mayan cuisine prepared with gourmet quality.
The reputation was affirmed and the quality recognized when the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences delivered their Five Diamonds Award, 2010 to Yaxche for "excellence in regional cuisine."
The restaurant Yaxché won the Five-Diamond recognition specifically for meeting quality standards in food preparation and dedication to regional cuisine. The award was received by the partners who own the business, William Lubkey and Lizaola Ramón.
The award confirms that there are international-quality restaurants and businesses in Playa del Carmen. The variety and quality presents a real benefit for expats living in the area.
In the speach at the delivery of the award, the mayor pointed out that excellence in restaurants is just one area where the community provides quality service meeting and exceeding the demands of global tourism.
Other areas in which Playa del Carmen real estate offers residents excellent options are eco-tourism, both in fully enjoying the natural features of the area, and enjoying informative and interactive eco-parks, that also offer interaction with the region's and country's history and culture.
Playa del Carmen is also at the top of Latin America for golf, with 8 professional courses, one of which is host to Latin America's first PGA event.
