Relación costo beneficio por la comida es sobrevalorado. Las porciones son pequeñas, el costo es alto, el sabor de los platillos si bien fue bueno, algunos estuvieron regular. El costo de las botella de vino sin ser premium es excesivo

We had a beautiful bungalow over the water which was perfect for the sunset. It was also perfect for our family as we didn’t have to worry about our young children staying quiet and in their seats. This is our second time dining here and we will come back each trip to Cancún.

El lugar es muy bonito, pero te sientes presionado, no dan tiempo para platicar o estar tranquilo antes de llevar la comida y después quitan todo de inmediato lo que te hace sentir que ya tienes que irte y la comida es muy buena pero los precios son muy caros para la cantidad que te ofrecen.

Dishes were too expensive compared to what they tasted like and what they were composed by. Overall a nice experience in the bungalows and the sunset was what made it all worth it.

The whole experience here was amazing! I booked in the UK and they rand to let me know that the table I had booked wasn’t the over water ones, so if I wanted one of them to change the time. We went there this evening and the service was amazing, the staff were friendly and helpful with the menu. He recommended which cocktails were sour and which were sweet. The food and drinks was amazing, we were so full but kept eating because of how nice it was. Would 100% recommend going at sunset because the atmosphere was just perfect. The waiter offered to take some pictures of us too.
