An Unforgettable Cultural Experience

At TAFER Hotels & Resorts, we go beyond the concept of luxury destinations. We offer unique and profound experiences that mirror the essence of Mexican culture, and a prime example of this is our commemoration of Mexico’s most iconic and exquisite traditions: Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).

Celebrated from October 31st to November 2nd, this annual event is a vibrant and heartfelt tribute to life, family, and remembrance. Our resorts — from the Pacific coast to the Caribbean — offer an array of exclusive experiences designed to immerse you in the spirit of Día de los Muertos while enjoying the luxurious amenities and exceptional service you’ve come to expect from every TAFER property.

An Artistic Homage Across All Resorts

At each of our resorts, you’ll find “Ofrendas”, stunning altars decorated with marigolds, candles, and photographs, inviting guests to honor and remember loved ones which have passed away. These altars serve as the heart of our Day of the Dead celebrations, blending history and culture into the serene elegance of our resorts. Whether you’re relaxing by the beach or taking in the mountainous views, you’ll find each resort’s celebration offers its own unique flair, bringing the holiday’s beauty to life.

Members and guests are invited to participate in traditional face painting (“calaveras”, or skull faces) and crafting “papel picado” (beautifully cut paper decorations) that are a staple of the holiday. These artistic touches allow you to fully immerse yourself in the vibrant cultural expressions that make Día de los Muertos so special.

Culinary Delights: A Feast for the Senses

As with any great celebration, food plays a central role in the Day of the Dead festivities. At TAFER, we take pride in offering you exclusive culinary experiences that reflect the richness of Mexican gastronomy. Throughout our resorts, you’ll find special tasting menus featuring Pan de Muerto, a traditional sweet bread, paired with atole or hot chocolate, staples of the holiday.

For members who enjoy interactive experiences, our chefs offer exclusive culinary masterclasses, where you can learn to prepare traditional dishes like mole or tamales, which are often served during the celebrations. These classes provide an intimate look into the flavors and ingredients that define Mexican cuisine, making your Day of the Dead experience even more personal and enriching.

Entertainment and Festivities: Bringing the Celebration to Life

No celebration at TAFER Resorts would be complete without unforgettable entertainment. Across all our resorts, you’ll find live performances ranging from folkloric dances to mariachi bands, infusing the air with the lively rhythms and vibrant energy which are hallmarks of this cherished holiday. In some resorts, you can even participate in the beautiful tradition of lantern releases, where members send written messages to departed loved ones into the night sky.

For those seeking a more intimate experience, some resorts offer bonfire ceremonies on the beach, where members can reflect and share their personal stories in a tranquil setting. Whether you prefer a lively celebration or a more introspective moment, our resorts provide something for everyone during this memorable time of year.
