We have returned from another trip to Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya (VIRM) between the Cancun and Playa del Carmen areas of Mexico. Valentin has several bars and 7 restaurants. They are part of your all-inclusive package.

Breakfast: Mar Y Tierra, Le Marche, Café Sisal, coffee shop, or room service.
Lunch: Mar Y Tierra, Le Marche, Café Sisal, Pool Bum food trucks at the main pool, Golden pool lunch, or room service.
Dinner:
Ginger is Japanese (Sushi, A la carte, or Teppanyaki)
Mar Y Tierra is Seafood and Argentinian BBQ
Taman Sari is Southeast Asian inspired - Our favourite restaurant on the property!
L'Alsace offers French cuisine
L'Olivo for Italian
La Hacienda for Mexican specialties
There are also a crepe cart and a churro cart for sweet treats.

Reservations are not required with the exception of the Teppanyaki show cooking at Ginger and there are 3 evening dress codes in place.

There is Don Miguel's Bar which is the best bar on property, in our opinion.
The Martini Bar near the lobby is great for a martini or cocktail.
There are two swim up bars in the main pool which were mediocre.
The Golden Pool has a bar and good bar service, mediocre drinks.
There is the Prive bar which is for guests who choose to upgrade to the Prive package. It is near the lobby.
There is also a great bar located next to the walkway onto the beach. Perfect for a sunset cocktail.
The Cognac Bar has extra fees and we felt it was overpriced.
Alcohol is mid-tier throughout the resort. Wine is ok.

Food and Restaurants were great. Overall, the drinks were disappointing with the exception of Don Miguel's and the Martini Bar, both of which we really enjoyed.

Management staff and style at Valentin is NOT good but the service staff are great.

At the time of this video VIRM uses a QR code to access the menus rather than an App. I have included the menus in the video.
