    Very well-run restaurant…great experience from checking in to service at our table. The food was fantastic - delicious and thoughtful presentation. Our server took such good care of us, as he managed several other tables as well. Can’t wait to go back!

    We had an amazing dinner with excellent service from Seth. Get the cochinita / pork, the octopus, and the melted cheese. The food is abundant so a couple apps and a shared entree will do it if you want a bit of room for dessert. Drinks done to perfection, so don't skip.

    We have eaten here before and we were not disappointed up on our return. Wonderful ambience and great food, focused on Yucatán and Mayan cuisine. The staff were very attentive and helped us celebrate our special anniversary dinner. The restaurant is located next to the Vidanta Cirque du Soleil Joya theater so it is a great place to get a bite to eat before or after a show. Keep in mind that there is a live band later in the evening on many nights, so it might be less quiet during those hours.

    Having a table near the walkway to the Joyá production can be rather noisy and congested, if you intend to have a personal time and conversation with whom you are dining with. People walked by our table (into the restaurant) because of the congestion and people taking selfies. This was distracting. Grab a table seat from the people walking by…

    We dined at the Nektar last year and really enjoyed ourselves. This year was just as special. The food is a bit different from much of the food offered by Vidanta resort. The semi open air restaurant in the jungle gives a fun vibe as did the free music on offer . The staff was very attentive and friendly and made sure that we had everything we needed without being intrusive. The also cocktails were interesting. We had been earlier in the week for drinks and appetizers as we heard another great musical group at the Nektar Bar. Well worth the cart ride to the Nektar sometime during your stay.
