Going Gourmet in Mexico

I don't know if Rachael Ray could enjoy one of the All Inclusive Mexico Vacations offered by Karisma on $40 a day, but I am pretty darn sure she'd love the food.

The folks at Karisma (who run a string of gorgeous resorts and hotels along the very popular Maya Riviera) have decided that today's travelers deserve a little better than standard buffet fare kept barely warmed with Sterno cans. They call it "Gourmet Inclusive" and it's sure to be a hit.

We're talking about legitimate, sit-down restaurants with high-quality fare. That's right, the old generic "all you can eat buffet" that's been a staple of all-inclusive travel for decades is a thing of the past with Karisma (although they may have kept one or two buffets open for the less discriminating palates of kids).

Karisma wants their guests' trips to be memorable. You'd think that the well-appointed properties, white sandy beaches, A+ hospitality and fantastic amenities would be enough to make that happen. They're going the extra mile, though. They want to satisfy all of their guests' senses--and they're proving it by separating themselves from the pack with unforgettable dining experiences.

If you're considering travel (who isn't) and love good food (and you're here, so you probably do), you should investigate the gourmet offerings from Karisma.
