All About the Award

Almost everybody has heard of Tripadvisor, especially frequent travelers and enthusiastic foodies.

They aren’t sponsored awards, and there are no paid judges.

The deciding panel is the entire online rating community of real people like you and me who share their thoughts, both good and bad, with the world regarding services and businesses.

The Tripadvisor Traveler’s Choice Award is the highest recognition to be granted by the leading authoritative entity of the global tourism and hospitality industry.

Achieving Greatness Amidst a Pandemic

For more than a year, the number of changes for business in the tourism and hospitality industry has been quite intimidating and challenging.

More specifically in dining establishments, where the big adjustments that were put in place because of the pandemic affected the operational standards and techniques already present.

The implementations of new cleaning and safety measures, and guidelines regarding face masks and safe distancing altered the habits and comfortable conveniences of both establishments and patrons.

Keeping Everyone Safe

It was necessary to adapt to providing “safe distancing” and the utilization of purely technological means as a way of delivering certain aspects of service.

The fact that we could pull all of this off, even during a pandemic makes us prouder!

María Dolores by Edgar Núñez restaurant also complies with the Shielded Vacations protocol, carried out at ATELIER · ESTUDIO Playa Mujeres, to keep all visitors and guests safe all the time.

Honestly, it wasn’t easy, but with dedication, hard work, focus, and passion in all that we do at María Dolores by Edgar Núñez, winning the 2021 Tripadvisor Traveler’s Choice Award is the best possible round of applause we can receive for continuing to share our love for Mexican cuisine with the world despite the peculiar global situation.
