This is the buffet restaurant at Valentin Imperial Maya resort. It's open daily for breakfast and lunch and during the "dead zone" when the other restaurants are closed (4-6 pm).
We stopped in for lunch our first day and then a few other times throughout our visit. The selection was vast and items changed from day to day. I personally loved the salmon sashimi the most. Other options included Italian, Mexican, a salad bar, tons of beautiful desserts, a few made to order stations, and more.
I preferred the sit down restaurants/a la carte options, but obviously the buffet is great if you want to try lots of different items. I liked the breakfast options of oatmeal, bottled yogurt drinks, a whole rainbow of fresh juices, and more.
Honestly, one day I was just really craving chicken tenders but they didn't have them. I guess that's what happens when you are at an adults-only resort!
Note that you can choose to sit "outside" which is covered but open (watch for birds), or you can request the air conditioned dining area. read more
