Not once but Twice I came here with friends during the week! Yes it was that good! You must get the fried fish and the garlic that goes with it 🔥. The drinks were freshly made with real fruit and the dips for the chips were fresh. Everything was just fresh. Service is quick. The servers are extremely attentive. You can't beat the outdoor seating right on the water. It makes for magnificent sunset views. It's a hidden gem in the cut. I have nothing but great things to say, but try it yourself!

We came here twice during our stay, the food was that good and the price was reasonable compared to some others in the area. We had great tacoes, tostadas, tortilla chips with a great array of sauces, guacamole that was AMAZING and a great seafood rice dish that was amazing, it was all so good and so fresh. Friendly staff and great cocktails too, it’s quite hidden but once you go downstairs the view is great especially at sunset, and the chill house music vibes, rather than other music blasted at other places, created just the right atmosphere that you want in a beachside holiday destination.

Simply the best sea food place I’ve been in Cancun. The oysters are fresh  and really good, the kids menu it’s really good also.
A little bit warm but you can tolerate it, the best beans I’ve ever had

Man let’s start by saying that this place 10/10. If you love seafood then by far is one of the best around for sure. This place is located in the lower level by the docs. Not upstairs that’s the tacos.

Get the TUNA TOSTADAS!! Those were so good the ceviche is amazing too. If you like octopus the tacos are great.

They have a vast menu of many options and it comes out pretty quick. And definitely would recommend to stop by. From the Uber drivers we talk to the hotel staff they say it’s an amazing place and does not disappoints.

Price points they are inflated to American or European but that’s because it’s in the resort area. So about US I would say you will spend about $40 per person
