Featured Resort News: Blind Dinner – A sensuous St. Regis experience!

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

How often do you really look at your food while you are eating? In this unusual evening of sensory exploration and fine dining, not at all!

Your Blind Dinner begins when your eyes are covered with an eye mask, in order to focus on the sensations of taste, smell and texture of the delicious offerings by Chef Sylvain Desbois, at the Carolina Restaurant at St. Regis.

Blind Dinner at the St. Regis Punta Mita

In this unusual evening, the menu is set, the wines are previously selected and guests are not given any hint as to what their food and wines might be. This complete lack of sight gives you a unique food and wine experience that will last for 50 minutes, and will include three different courses. The food is designed to be easily eaten which means that the senses of taste, smell and touch are all indulged. When the blind dinner is concluded, you can enjoy an after dinner drink, while sharing your perspective and experience with your table.

Guests are asked to please mention any allergies or dietary requests when making their reservation.

Available as of: Friday, October 15; restaurant opening days, upon request and reservation.

Summer Fun as Stand Up Paddle Surfing Popularity Grows!

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

“Stand Up Paddle Surfing” (SUP) has risen from its ancient Peruvian past as the 21st centuries’ ultimate lifestyle activity. The days of stationary bikes in sweaty gyms is a thing of the past, and Paddle Surfing is here to stay! Why not? It’s a healthy core workout that gets your heart pumping and body flexing like a yoga workout minus the full-length wall mirror. You are out in nature with the dolphins and sea turtles, standing up looking down into the depths of the ocean, and the wonderful thing is – pretty much anybody can do it!

Paddle Surfing has now arrived to Mexico – and, to Punta Mita, which offers ideal conditions for year-round enjoyment of this exploding sport. Pacific Paddle Surf offers lessons on flat water, in the surf, fitness paddles, and pleasure cruises. As well, it has the top-of-the-line “Starboard” Stand Up Paddle Boards to demo, rent, or purchase along with everything else you need to get started.
