Three days where golf, dining, and celebration came together
On January 24th, Grupo Anderson’s hosted the grand finale of its 5th Golf Tournament, an event that unfolded over three days and brought together golfers, partner brands, and carefully curated experiences that went far beyond the sport itself.
From the first tee-off to the final toast, the tournament reflected the brand’s vision: elegance, attention to detail, and a seamless connection between sport, hospitality, and celebration.
Within this setting, Nicoletta played a key role, becoming part of an experience that blended golf, Italian gastronomy, and a closing night that many guests are still talking about: El Refugio.
Days one and two: the tournament begins at Iberostar
A welcome designed for the player
On January 21st and 22nd, the Iberostar Golf Course hosted the opening rounds of the tournament. Golfers arrived to an atmosphere defined by organization, style, and thoughtful hospitality from the very beginning.
Each participant received a welcome kit filled with carefully selected surprises. One of the most talked-about highlights was the smoothie station, where players could prepare their own blends, adding a fresh and personalized touch to the start of the day.
Throughout the course, hydration stations were strategically placed to accompany the rhythm of play. As the afternoon came to a close, the atmosphere shifted toward relaxation with a taquiza, followed by a raffle featuring exclusive prizes, courtesy of the tournament’s sponsors.
These first two days set the tone: competition balanced with connection and experience.
The grand final: January 24th at Riviera Cancun Golf & Resort
A closing round at Grupo Anderson’s level
The final round, held on January 24th at Riviera Cancun Golf & Resorts, elevated the tournament to a new level. Beyond the decisive play, the course transformed into a space filled with brand activations, each designed to enhance the overall experience.
Several Grupo Anderson’s brands took part with curated offerings, and within this context, Nicoletta stood out with a gastronomic station featuring bruschettas that quickly became a favorite among players and guests alike. It was a subtle yet powerful reminder of Nicoletta’s identity as an Italian restaurant where quality and detail matter—even outside the dining room.
Sponsors such as Nescafé, Diageo, and Ninja, among others, contributed activations that enriched the day and reinforced the sense that this final round was about much more than golf.
Once the competition concluded, the winners were announced in a celebratory atmosphere filled with applause, conversation, and shared moments.
El Refugio: where the celebration truly began
A night designed to be remembered
Following the tournament, guests made their way to El Refugio, the event that marked the perfect closing to the competition. Conceived as a celebration without rush, El Refugio brought together gastronomy, entertainment, and music in a single immersive setting.
The concept was clear: unlimited food and drinks, offered through a variety of brand stands that encouraged guests to explore at their own pace. Sponsors such as Turin, Puerto de Indias, and Topo Chico, among others, added diversity and energy to the experience.
As part of this culinary journey, Nicoletta presented one of its most iconic desserts: tiramisu, which quickly became one of the night’s highlights and reaffirmed the restaurant’s role as a reference for Italian cuisine within Grupo Anderson’s universe.
Music, games, and an atmosphere that carried on into the night
A celebration for all the senses
El Refugio was about more than food and drinks. Guests enjoyed a variety of amusement rides, including a mechanical bull, a Ferris wheel, and a carousel, creating a festive and relaxed environment throughout the venue.
Music played a central role in shaping the night. The band Myst took the stage with a set of well-known covers, setting the mood and preparing the audience for the final performance of the evening. Later, Fey closed the night with iconic songs such as Azúcar Amargo, bringing the crowd together in one of the most memorable moments of the celebration.
The night concluded with a fireworks display, marking a fitting end to an event that seamlessly combined sport, gastronomy, and entertainment.
Nicoletta and Grupo Anderson’s: a shared vision
Beyond the restaurant, a way of creating experiences
Nicoletta’s participation in the 5th Grupo Anderson’s Golf Tournament and El Refugio speaks to something deeper than a culinary presence. It reflects a shared philosophy: creating experiences that connect people, honor detail, and elevate every moment.
From a bruschetta served on the green to a tiramisu enjoyed under the lights of the celebration, Nicoletta showed that its essence extends beyond the restaurant itself—it is part of a lifestyle where dining, celebration, and connection naturally come together.
An experience worth remembering
The 5th Grupo Anderson’s Golf Tournament and the night at El Refugio showcased what happens when sport, gastronomy, and hospitality align under a clear vision. For Nicoletta, it was an opportunity to share its identity in a different setting, while maintaining the elegance and attention to detail that define every experience it creates.
