Mi Cocina, Casa Natalia's restaurant, provides both indoor, air-conditioned dining and al fresco dining in the impressive courtyard. As elsewhere throughout the hotel the attention to detail is always evident.

Cutlery, silverware and glasses are all from Villeroy and Boch, while the fine table linens and elegant tall back chairs complete the scene.

The courtyard makes a wonderfully romantic setting. Enjoy a candlelit meal here bathed in the orange glow from the braziers and lulled by the soft, gentle sounds of the waterfalls.

What really makes the restaurant stand out for us though is the superlative food served here. The menu combines Mexican and European dishes with modern imaginative flair.

Dishes are all prepared from the freshest of ingredients and include seafood, pastas and grilled meat; all complimented by an excellent wine list.

By day the restaurant is very different, but equally appealing. The sounds of the water flowing and lush colors of the tropical flower and shrubs give a feeling of coolness, and the tall palms offer shade from the sun.

As in the evening, the food, service and attention to detail are all impeccable.
