Gourmet Baskets in Cancún, Playa del Carmen & Tulum

Equipo LovelyShop · 2026-08-21

A gourmet basket is a gift that combines savoury, sweet and a drink in a hand-assembled presentation. Across the Riviera Maya we deliver them the same day from $1,090 MXN, with delivery from $60 in Playa del Carmen and $190 in Cancún and Tulum.

• Gourmet baskets from $1,090 MXN (Regalo Bellos Momentos) up to $3,450 MXN (sunflowers with sparkling wine and chocolates)
• Delivery depends on the zone, not the gift: $60 in Playa del Carmen Centro, $190 in Cancún and Tulum with a $1,250 minimum
• Same-day delivery across 13 zones, 8:00 to 18:00, all 365 days of the year
• A basket of shelf-stable products lasts weeks; one with fresh fruit is gone in 48 hours
• For corporate gifting and multiple deliveries, give us 5 to 7 days' notice

"Gourmet basket" gets used for wildly different things, from a box of sweets to an arrangement with sparkling wine and delicatessen products. It's worth separating what each price range actually contains before ordering, because the gap between $1,090 and $3,450 pesos isn't about basket size.

What a gourmet basket is, and how it differs from a gift box

A gourmet basket is a set of edible products chosen for contrast rather than quantity: something savoury, something sweet, something to drink, and one higher-value item that anchors the gift. A generic gift box is assembled by volume, packing in pieces of the same type until the space is full. The practical test is opening it: if everything tastes similar, it's a box of sweets under another name. If there's contrast between mouthfuls, it's a gourmet basket.

Real prices and what to expect in each range

These are current prices for the basket-style options in the catalog. All available for same-day delivery across the Riviera Maya, subject to availability and the zone's minimum order.

$1,250 vs $3,450: what actually changes

Regalo Frascos at $1,250 and the sunflower-and-sparkling basket at $3,450 split on three concrete things. First, the drink: below $2,000 you rarely get wine or sparkling, and that single component moves the price by several hundred pesos. Second, the perishable element, because fresh flowers force us to assemble the gift on the delivery day itself. Third, longevity: the jars are still there two weeks later, the flower basket lives three or four days. Neither is better; they serve different occasions.

How to choose based on who receives it

The most common mistake is choosing by budget before choosing by recipient. Reverse the order of the questions and you'll get it right more often.

• If it's for an office and will be shared, favour the count of individual pieces over unit value
• If it's for someone in a hotel, avoid anything needing refrigeration or cutlery
• If you don't know their tastes, savoury misses less often than sweet
• If there are dietary restrictions, tell us and we swap pieces without changing the price
• If you want it to last, ask for jars and packaged goods instead of fresh fruit

Gourmet baskets in Cancún

Cancún sees the most hotel-room orders, and there a basket has an edge over other gifts: it needs no water, doesn't wilt, and handles air conditioning without issue. Delivery to Cancún Centro and the Hotel Zone is $190 MXN with a $1,250 minimum order, a threshold almost any basket in the catalog clears on its own. Puerto Cancún drops to $70 with no minimum.

Gourmet baskets in Playa del Carmen and Playacar

Playa del Carmen carries the lowest rate in the whole coverage map: $60 MXN with a $450 minimum order. Playacar goes to $70 and asks for no minimum. It's the area where a mid-range basket makes the most sense, because delivery doesn't distort the total the way it does in Cancún or Tulum.

Gourmet baskets in Tulum

Tulum charges $190 MXN delivery with a $1,250 minimum, and that rate is identical in town and in the hotel zone. The exception is Bahía Príncipe Tulum at $110 with no minimum. Hotels along the coastal road require advance notice to let a courier through, so if the delivery is going to an eco-resort it helps to give us the guest's name when ordering.

What delivery costs by zone

The zone sets the cost, not the basket's contents. These are the real rates for the 13 active zones.

Baskets for corporate gifting 💼

For hotels, agencies and companies gifting guests or clients, a basket solves something flowers can't: it can be repeated identically twenty times and doesn't depend on the season. Multiple deliveries on the same day need 5 to 7 days' notice so we can book routes, especially across different zones. We can tune contents and packaging to a per-unit budget.
