• Mexico, May 1st, 2011- Royal Hideaway Playacar in Mexico's Riviera Maya region, the first and only all-inclusive, adults-only resort to win the AAA Five-Diamond award, has appointed Jose Bossuet Martinez as executive chef.
• The Mexico native comes to the resort with over a decade of culinary experience; highlights include work at La Coupole at the Hotel Mierabeaul, a Michelin-rated restaurant, and at Presidential Food Service for Mexico, where he prepared cuisine for Mexico's President, Vicente Fox, as well as international royalty including the Spanish president, German chancellor, United Kingdom prime minister, and more.
• In addition, Chef Martinez has earned accolades including a Double Gold Medal from the Culinary Olympics in Berlin 1996, and is part of the prestigious Club des Chefs, which only admits chefs who have worked for kings, queens, presidents, and governors.
• In his new role, Chef Martinez will oversee a culinary team of 40 (including the newly hired Chef Paola Ramirez who comes to the hotel from a Michelin-rated restaurant in Chicago), in food production, quality control, development of new culinary concepts, and training at the hotel's six a la carte restaurants and banquet facilities which can accommodate up to 400 people.
• Royal Hideaway's dining venues include Las Ventanas (which offers an interactive Chef's Table experience); Spices, which combines island flavors with authentic Mexican cuisine; Palazzo, featuring Italian favorites; Azia, an Asian fusion restaurant, and more.
• In his short tenure at Royal Hideaway Playacar, Chef Martinez has already made his mark on the popular Chef's Table experience, and the interactive dinner has more than doubled in popularity since he started in January.
• He has added three courses to the elaborate menu, making 12 courses, and goes into great detail on each dish as he prepares it, sharing information on the dish's history and cultural importance.
• In addition, he created a collection of distinct chocolates exclusive to Royal Hideaway Playacar, using ingredients such as eggnog, chili, Bailey's, and mole (spicy chocolate sauce), and in the next few months he plans to launch another collection of chocolates filled with local herbs, flowers, and spices.
