    Experience an enchanting evening that blends the vibrant flavors, mystical traditions, and captivating mythology of the Maya world at Lina Point's Maya Sunset Dinner. As the golden hues of an island sunset light up the sky, embark on a sensory journey where culinary artistry meets ancient storytelling. Your adventure begins with an inviting ceremonial Maya copal blessing, an age-old ritual designed to cleanse the spirit and express gratitude. This heartfelt welcome sets the tone for an evening steeped in tradition and wonder. Connect with nature as you partake in bird feeding, a serene moment of harmony with the lush surroundings, while you sip on a handcrafted, Maya-inspired cocktail—a fusion of tropical flavors and ancestral ingredients. As your feast unfolds, so too does the legacy of Maya folklore. Begin with your choice of appetizers like zesty Shrimp Picantes, Elote, or aromatic Sopa de Lima, accompanied by the haunting tale of La Llorona, the weeping specter said to haunt riversides in search of her lost children. The stories linger in the air, weaving an unforgettable atmosphere as the first course gives way to heartier fare. For the main course, delight your palate with a choice of Tacos Pibil, marinated with rich achiote and slow-cooked to perfection, or Sweet Corn Tamales with Achiote Pollo, a tender chicken dish bursting with vibrant flavors, or delicately wrapped Snapper, steamed in banana leaves for an authentic island touch. As you savor these exquisite dishes, immerse yourself in the legend of Tata Duende, the small but powerful forest spirit who guards the wilderness and teaches respect for the natural world. To close the evening on a sweet and magical note, indulge in desserts such as decadent Cacao Cinnabons, where the essence of sacred cacao pays homage to the Maya reverence for chocolate, or a Chocolate Brownie, or Ceremonial Cacoa. As you enjoy your treat, uncover tales of La Xtabai, the enigmatic spirit who lures wanderers, and the legendary exploits of the Hero Twins, whose acts of courage shaped the cosmos in Maya creation mythology. Throughout the dinner, the magic of Maya myths springs to life before your eyes with a blend of visually stunning storytelling and heartfelt narratives. From evocative performances to captivating visuals, each legend is brought to life with reverence and imagination, turning the evening into a living tapestry of history, culture, and enchantment. More than just a dining experience, Lina Point’s Maya Sunset Dinner immerses you in a world of discovery, where the rich traditions of the Maya people unfold through their sacred stories and culinary heritage. By night’s end, you’ll leave with a deeper connection to the timeless mystique of the Maya—and a reminder that magic dwells not only in myths but within us all.

    I booked an Immersive Experience only to find out that it was not available. Rick was nice about the whole situation. Ended up eating off their regular menu and the snapper was amazing!
