This place is great !! While I was about to hit the other restaurant next to Magdalena, we ended up by mistake there. The place is magical using natural materials to build the restaurant it gives you a Tulum / Holbox vibe. If you arrive on time pick a set up in front of the sea where the sunset will look stunning. Ideal for a date or friend dinner to kick off your holidays. The restaurant is classy but not presumptuous. The menu is nice with many options from the grill and freshly fished. You also have a robust option for meat and veggie. The waiters are very nice and I recommend to follow their advice (they are not pushing for pricey options). We closed the dinner on a Nutella donuts to kill for. I leave you with some atmosphere picture so you get what you are coming for.
This restaurant was recommended to me by an Uber driver in Cancun. We were all pleasantly surprised. The ambience and decor was super. The restaurant is located in the water. The food was nothing short of delicious. The service was attentive and warm. The ceiling of the restaurant was genius. It was a big led screen that changed adding different atmosphere feelings to the setting. I recommend it without hesitation. Enjoy!

Quality food, I found the portions to be substantial, and we were recommended to share some things because the portions were large. Great atmosphere, and super attentive waiter and mixologist at our table. The views out to the water are amazing.
The atmosphere is amazing. We had the lobster and the shrimp with the bacon, which was a mix of a lot of different nuts bacon a cream sauce. Very tasty.
In our 17 years of coming annually to Cancun, this is hands down the best dining experience we’ve had. The food was amazing! The staff, Manager Jander, waiter Alan T. and mixologist Agustin were absolutely the best! The wagyu beef, onion soup and ceviche were great! Let your mixologist direct you on the best beverages. Go at sunset for great pictures!
First time in Cancun and I wanted to take my wife somewhere fancy for our 10 year anniversary and I was blown away. My wife and I were very pleased with the service and hospitality. The food tasted great and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice date night with their partner. The prices reflect the service but overall absolutely worth the price.
This is a truly remarkable experience! The food was so special, every dish was delicious and creatively presented. The service was out of this world, so attentive and a very high class level of service. Our server Alan was fantastic! Manager Daniel was everywhere at once and making every table’s experience next level. Mixoligist Augustine crafted such good cocktails and did it with flair. Amazing!!! But the star of it all is the ambience. Everywhere you looked there was some unexpected and interesting thing happening. The decor is such an eclectic and unique experience! I cannot say enough good things!
