This place was recommended by our butler at the hotel, and honestly, we should have just gone with our original choice instead of coming here. The restaurant itself is aesthetically pleasing, but that's about where the positives end. The food is seriously underwhelming and absolutely not worth the price. I ordered the seafood spaghetti, and every single clam came out closed. The mussels were ridiculously small, there was barely any other seafood in the dish, and for the price they charge, it honestly feels like a complete rip-off. The show is entertaining, but the entertainment is better than the food, in my opinion. On top of that, the sodas we were served were flat and appeared to be expired, which is completely unacceptable. This has easily been the worst dining experience I've had since being here. The atmosphere may look nice, but that does not make up for poor-quality food, questionable drinks, and prices that do not match what you're actually getting. I would not come back, and I definitely would not recommend this restaurant. And, we came here to celebrate a birthday. Wow!

The tacos were perfectly balanced with a crisp and flaky fish, paired with just the right amount of toppings to enhance the flavor without overpowering it. The Tostada had a nice crunch and a vibrant mix of ingredients, while the Catch of the Day was cooked to perfection with a light and zesty seasoning. Overall, we had a great experience, but the Fish Tacos definitely stole the show for me.

"Now mama don't you worry none From small things, mama…read moreBig things one day come" (Bruce Springsteen - From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come) Vento is a tapas restaurant located off one of the spokes of the Paradisus central atrium. It offers four salads, eleven cold tapas or small plates, fifteen hot tapas, and five dessert tapas. It's quite an elegant restaurant. You have the choice of sitting outside the main dining room in the atrium, or in the main dining room, which we chose. But we noticed it was noisy inside- perhaps a result of the open kitchen and bar areas that weren't too far from our seats, so we heard the shake, rattle, and roll of every dish, pot, and pan. Before we ordered, we were served a welcome drink that was excellent (some sort of strawberry and vodka concoction) and a basket with two small loaves of bread. The waiter very ceremoniouslly poured oil and a splash of vinegar into our three bread plates. We had a blast ordering. The waiter suggested we each order one salad, one cold tapas and four hot tapas. So we ended up with like 20 different things that all looked beautiful. My wife and son ordered the mozzarealla pizza from the hot menu, but it wasn't hot at all- kind of unappealingly warm. Here is my report on the tapas I tried: The greek salad was very good- lots of olives, which as an olive guy I appreciated, plus diced tomatoes, onions, peppers and crumbled feta cheese. An excellent cold soup (Ajo Blanco) served in what looked like a test tube with about a quarter cup of shrimp tartar. The shrimp tartar was delicious. Charcoal grilled octopus was a big chunk of an octo's tentacle served with potatoes in a sweet paprika oil. I didn't care for this at all. I've had octopus a few times and liked it, but this dish tasted a lot stronger than I expected. Black Baby Squid over wild rice - not a fan - it just wasn't something I liked, aesthetically so and taste wise. Pan fried shrimp with curry and chick peas over wild rice. Wonderful - my favorite dish of the evening - just bursting with flavor. I would have loved a big plate of it. Braised Veal Cheek with cauliflower and mushrooms. It had a very soft and delicate texture and was pretty good. King scallops with a green bean and pork ragout - another very good dish. Dessert tapas on the menu were a variety of sorbets, churros, ice creams, tiramiso and a custard. I ordered the vanilla custard, and it was very ordinarily flan-like. On the other hand, the Nutella ice cream was absolutely sensational. Our server was helpful and not intrusive, he explained the tapas concept and was swift in clearing the table and refilling the beverages. All in all, we had an enjoyable time and a pretty good meal.

We stayed at the altitude so we walked over when it was time for us to get seated. I recommend you to put yourself on the waiting list before if you don't want to wait 30-45 minutes. The ambiance was nice, and the glass of wine we ordered was really nice! I forgot the name of it but it was the first on the wine menu. We also ordered the pesto pasta, mushroom risotto, and the beef chunks from the main menu. Everything was absolutely amazing, the pesto was just right, not too bland and not too strong. The beef chunk dish could have been better, it just tasted like beef stew, hence the docking off one star. The risotto was incredible! If you like risotto you will love this place. Overall, good last dinner in Cancun!

Better than Hakka at Oleo!…read more (By the way, all restaurants at Oleo are for hotel guests only since it's All-Inclusive) My family and I had the best dining experience at Almar. The food, service, and ambiance is the best among the other restaurants in Oleo. (We're from Los Angeles so I've eaten lots of Japanese food there and my parents lived in Tokyo for many, many years...we just didn't think Hakka was the standout as opposed to the many travelers who says otherwise. Maybe it has changed?) By the way, make sure to reserve! You can get lucky and reserve on the same day. It's also a pity that this place is only open for dinner. They have fantastic views for the ocean and so maybe a 6 or 7pm reservation will have the sun still out. Otherwise it's pitch black outside. Drinks are great. Seems the same as other restaurants but the pina colada w/o alcohol is actually a slushie, which was super soft to the tongue! Now as for food...it's important to note that it's not technically a buffet BUT you can order multiple appetizers and entrees if you'd like. Appetizers: I recommend the Tomato Cream (soup) and Skewers. They're so fabulously fresh and seasoned. But be sure to try out other appetizers! I tried beef carpaccio for the first time and I thought it was great! Not overly salty, but tasty and tender. Entrees: I have to admit the Chef's creation of the day, which I tried on two separate days, were average. These were lasagna and Spinach Ravioli. It wasn't packed with a whole lot of flavor and seasoning. But, I could tell the pasta itself was fresh! Do consider the fish dishes like Catch of the day or salmon. We had beautifully seared and seasoned Mahi Mahi with vegetables that weren't bland as well. I myself haven't tried the salmon but it looked awesome when the other table had it. Desserts: Chocolate lava cake with the fruit at the bottom was amazing. The apple pie is too sweet for my taste, but it's definitely the traditional American apple pie sweetness. Though they've prepared it differently by having the apple portion showing on the top that was sitting on a thin crust at the bottom. Lastly service is fantastic. Servers like to strike a conversation with you and it's not pushy or unnatural. Our main server was wonderful! I forgot his name but it starts with a N and I took a picture with him. Thanks lad!
