Dining on the lagoon was beautiful and it was a very nice ambiance but the food was seriously lacking. We had to ask for salt. Very much under seasoned and bland.

We arrived about 20 min early for our reservation. The hostess said they could not seat us until our reservation time which was fine. We did, however, intend to wait in a bar area or had hoped to get a drink. They did not have a bar and our only option was to wait in the entry. Once we were seated, the staff was very attentive and the service excellent. Wonderful ambiance and the food was fine.

Excelente en todo pero la reservación mediante la app de Open Table no es definitiva, se necesita llamar al restaurante para confirmar. La app no lo menciona.

Deliciosa cena! El lugar es espectacular y la atención de primera! El arroz con jaiba suave es una delicia, los cocktails también muy ricos. Las atenciones de las señoritas Laura y Elizabeth excelentes, nos hicieron sentir en casa. Super recomendable, regresaría mil veces.

La comida estuvo excelente; conocimos al chef Óscar porque quisimos felicitar la cocina, es la segunda vez que vamos y siguen con la misma calidad y sabor , solicité un pastel de cumpleaños y venía la leyenda que les informe pero la vela deja mucho que desear para ser un lugar como este restaurante, pero en general muy recomendable , gracias

Unacceptable level of service. We were not allowed to enter the hotel for 30 min because the restaurant’s error. Then they were unreachable by telephone, despite 3 different people trying to call them. And all we got in response from the manager was blaming everyone else.
