Four Places You Can Try the Newest Tropical Resort Trend

Four Places You Can Try the Newest Tropical Resort Trend
The latest craze at tropical resorts will really ‘float your boat.’ Swim up bars have become standard at many of your favorite resorts in the Caribbean and Mexico, and floating trays are the newest way to serve guests who love to hang out in the pool. 
 
Maybe one of the best things about floating trays is that, while swim-up bars are usually just for drinks, floating trays are only limited by the resort food and beverage teams’ imaginations.
 
Plus, individually-crafted trays of snacks, sweets, beverages or breakfasts leave plenty of room for creative presentation. Beautifully and uniquely-designed floating trays elevate make this new resort trend even more special and memorable.
 
Exquisitely crafted and served floating trays elevate something as simple as appetizers for your romantic or group resort vacation (bachelor and bachelorette parties or girlfriend/ guyfriend getaways, we mean you!) into the moment you’ll be talking about forever.
 
Velas Resorts in Riviera Maya, Riviera Nayarit, Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos have embraced the floating tray, introducing versions at all four Mexican resorts.
 
Each resort has unleashed the talents and imaginations of its culinary team to come up with a different floating tray that elegantly and in some cases, extravagantly, showcases culinary and beverage experiences guests in the resorts’ top suites can try without having to towel off poolside.
