    Amazing amazing great experience! Food was delicious, the cocktails were on point the ambiance was electric fun energetic and posh. The views were stunning. Made for a nice romantic dinner but the energy was great that it also worked as a night out at an Ultra Lounge. The best part of it all however was the service. Octavio in particular was so helpful attentive and went above and beyond giving recommendations, checking up on us and even taking our pictures. This is a must see when in Cancun!

    While staying at Live Aqua, we wanted to try Carnivore, knowing that it was not included in the all-inclusive experience. We had heard from the concierge that they would be happy to make a reservation for us, but we found a link on the Live Aqua guest website to do it ourselves through Open Table, so we made one for 7:00 pm. When we arrived at 7:00, we were surprised we were the only ones in the restaurant at prime dinner time; we were even more surprised to be told they didn’t have our reservation and that they didn’t use Open Table. I showed the host the email that confirmed our reservation and he was able to “find” us a spot (in the otherwise completely empty restaurant). The service was fantastic after the initial confusion with the reservation, and the food was well worth the extra cost. While we were seated, we saw multiple other couples/families show up for their reservation time, only to be told they don’t use Open Table and they didn’t have their reservation. They were all turned away, even though there were still plenty of available tables. It seems we were lucky we got seated! I don’t understand why Live Aqua/Carnivore have the link on their guest website to make a reservation if the restaurant can’t accommodate them. They should direct everyone through the concierge! Also, there is a menu listed on the Live Aqua guest website that includes a special cocktail menu - when we tried to order from it, the server had no idea what we were talking about and couldn’t make those drinks. We heard other tables try to order off that menu as well and the servers were confused. We ended up ordering basic cocktails, which was fine, but we were confused about the menu that didn’t seem to exist. Overall, the service and food were great and I’d go back, but wanted other people to know not to use the Open Table reservations or menu!
