I just like to let people know who are going there who have never been before, that just because you are staying at what is a 5 star resort in the Carribean, doesn't mean you'll be eating at places like Ceasars Steakhouse every night.
I actually think the best restaurants at these places are the ones that try to stay true to the local culture. Like someone else had mentioned, they have become far too Americanized, and they simply don't have the experience or ingredients to be able to send out comparable dishes to 5 star american restaurants. Actual Mexican food though, they can hit it out of the park sometimes. Unfortunately, some resorts only have authentic good 1 night of the 7 you stay there.

For sure. A year and a bit ago we went to Cancun with some of my Fiance's friends and her and I and couple others went into "real" Cancun for dinner a few times. Was amazing. Was nice to talk to a couple locals at the marina when we did this catamaran trip and they wrote down a few restaurants for us that we went to. Way better than the RIU we stayed at!
