Went to celebrate a good friend starting a new chapter in life. The restaurant was outdoors, and while it was dark, we could hear the waves. Fantastic atmosphere. The wait staff was super attentive and moved as a well oiled machine. It felt very much that we were the only party in the restaurant. Everyone said their food was great. I can't remember hearing a single complaint. My dish, the salmon, was perfectly cooked, along with the asparagus. Coming in second place, were the cheddar mashed potatoes . Served in their own little cast iron dish, cheddar cheese melted on top. Like, seriously? Hot, flavorful, and perfectly mashed. Certainly a memorable meal
We are staying at Ritz for a week so we decided to try Casitas on the day we arrived. Hands down one of the most outstanding food and customer service! And not to mention the beautiful ambiance. I would suggest reserving the casitas for an extra $100. Shout out to our wait staffs, Marcos & David who were super attentive and made our dining experience enjoyable. We lucked out because they have special bbq set menu for 2. We decided to give it a try because the smell from the grill was intoxicating. The set menu includes choice of salad, cheesy bread, platter of bbq (you have 4 options to choose from), and a couple of desserts. Salad - we went with the tomato and avocado salad. It was so bright in flavor with nice firm and juicy tomato slices. Cheesy bread - it was so good, my 1.5yo devoured 2 pieces. BBQ platter - we went with the lobster, salmon, filet, and ribs combo. Omg....everything was delicious and cooked perfectly! They also serve the platter with 4 different condiments. It also came with steamed potatoes and grilled corn. Desserts - tres leche cake which was topped with thinly sliced papaya. It was soft and melt in your mouth goodness. The brownie was very rich and indulgent. I don't usually like brownie with nuts but I didn't have any problem digging into this one.
We absolutely LOVED our experience at Casitas. We reserved a private casita on the beach as we were celebrating an anniversary and a birthday. I appreciated that the restaurant made it very clear that there was an additional fee ($100 USD) for booking the private casita. Wine, specifically, was expensive; 1 bottle was $100 USD and that was one of the cheapest we saw on the wine list. We dined at 2 other restaurants in the Hotel Zone and both bottles were only around $60 but that was the only real shock. We did not order any appetizers but were given an amuse bouche to start which was a like a small potato with shrimp salad - very delicious! We all ordered entrees - two pastas (rigatoni; one with frutti di mare and one without), one "catch of the day" which was grouper, one chicken maya and one shrimp and scallops. We ordered two sides - cheddar mashed potatoes and French fries to share. Our entrees came out with rolls and a garlic spread, which was delicious. All entrees were wonderful! Some were a little more plentiful (pasta, fish) than others (chicken, shrimp/scallops) but all were reasonably priced and very tasty... we had no leftovers! For dessert, we were brought 2 complementary desserts for the special occasions, which we were not expecting but appreciated! We also ordered the chocolate churros and they were AMAZING. Our bill was around $450 (without tip) for the alcohol (bottle of wine and one beer), a soda, countless bottles of water (it was so hot), five entrees and one dessert plus the setup fee for the rental. The view of the ocean as the sun set was just incredible. We felt like we got such a special experience for a reasonable price so if you are celebrating something special, this is THE ONLY place to do it! Would 100% recommend. Thank you, Casitas for making our last day in Cancun so memorable!
My husband and I sat in a bungalow and enjoyed a beautiful romantic dinner during our stay at the Ritz Carlton. Our server was wonderful! I am so sorry, I cannot remember his name. I ordered the fish, it was tasty and a little unique with a tomato sauce. My husband ordered the rib eye, and he liked it as well. The food was tasty, but not incredible. We loved the bread appetizer! It was almost like a flatbread. They treated us to a tasty chocolate cake dessert which was fabulous. Overall, I highly recommend reserving the private bungalow. It is a $100 but the experience and setting is so worth it. We really took our time and enjoyed.
Casitas is the restaurant that The Caribe Bar & Grill turns into in the evening. When staying at the Ritz Carlton, it shows as 2 places but it's the same location with different menus. In the evening, you can rent a cabana for around $100 to have a very romantic dinner directly on the beach in front of the hotel. We chose to just dine on the outdoor terrace. The reason for only 4 stars was upon arrival (after being in contact with the hotel prior to our visit), the hostess asked about allergies. We told them we needed gluten free options for my 22 year old daughter. She made a note and we were seated. When taking our order, I inquired about gf options and the first and only thing offered was a salad. Very disappointing! After further inquiries and discussion, we were able to get more options. They even brought out gf bread with a separate dipping oil. We also ordered gf sweet potato fries and without asking, the server told us they would be fried in its own oil to avoid cross contamination. Yes, they absolutey turned the evening around but Marriott makes it seem like they will happily do accommodations over email, etc and when you actually get on property, it's a bit of work to find someone who can actually help you. Food was amazing and daughter left happy!
If you are within a one mile radius of Cancun you MUST partake in this dining experience. From arrival to departure I was so impressed. This Ritz Carlton is beautiful- the exterior, the lobby, and the walk to the ocean front dining space was all Instagram worthy. Our servers were amazing- they walked us down to the table which was decorated with lights and drapery, and gave us a perfect view and sound of the ocean. No better place to enjoy a mea! There is a pathway to and around the table so no worries about the sand. The food and it's presentation was immaculate. We started with bread service (so good and cheesy!) oysters and lobster bisque. So decadent and rich, the presentation of the bisque came with plated lobster chunks with the bisque poured around it. My friends and I had the scallops, rigatoni, and prime rib. No complaints from anyone we truly enjoyed everything!
This is the beach restaurant at the Ritz in Cancun. Step by step review: - When you arrive, if you drive, valet your car. There is no fee, except what you tip the parking lot dude, and they take care not to scratch your ride as they don't want the trouble themselves of you complaining. - Once you go in, Casitas is all the way through the property at the beach part of the resort. If you show up early, you'll see them setting up, but they won't seat you til pretty much 10mins before at the earliest so go play on the beach. Added bonus are the blue beach chairs with covers that you can chill on. - Once your hut, I mean casita, is ready, you'll be seated outside. They go all out in making the setting super nice, so you do get what you pay for here (remember the casita is extra and the prices change so check and be clear on this). - Service is outstanding as there are probably 2-3 staff for every hut. I went on Feb 13, 2019 right before V-day and it wasn't too busy so they are at your beck and call. Remember to tip of course. - I want to add an additional shout out to the fact that my 4 yr old got cold/tired (it was our second day) and so the staff actually dragged up a beach chair to our hut, and gave us like 5 beach towels to use as blankets so she could lay and look up at the stars. That was a awesome, unasked for, touch. Not many resorts in Cancun have that for thought without charging you for it. Good work guys! - As for the menu and food; The menu changes so what I saw on the website wasn't what I was handed. That said, I requested the seafood tower you see in every picture on the review and they still made it for me. Yes it was good. Yes the food is a bit pricey, but you are at the Ritz and not the taco joint in the city so don't complain. The rest of the food was just as good so explore the menu as well. My only recommendation would be to have more small platters, but that's up to the kitchen. - Because I have small children, we didn't stay past 8pm, but I'm sure you can stay the entire time, eat, drink, and enjoy the stars on the beach if you have a clear night! *The only reason I'm giving this 4/5 stars is because it misses that last star. The execution is spot on, service is 5/5, but it's not the best of the best in the world and by that measure it cannot be 5/5 overall. Keep in mind, I have eaten many many farm to tables around the world, 10+ course meals such as Per Se, et al, so my standards are rather high. That said, you can't beat the location and service here!
Dinner at Casitas on the beach features fantastic food with stellar service ... add romance for spice. We enjoyed some great meals at the Ritz Carlton Cancún, but none were as satisfying as Casitas. We've all heard that old "see food" diet joke and it literally came true for OIivia and me because we saw a Casitas Seafood Tower (MXN$1,585) being delivered to another table and instantly said ... "we see that and we want that!" Before the tower of awesomeness arrived, Olivia got a Mystic Caribbean Cocktail (MXN$290) with Captain Morgan Rum and Grand Marnier while I moved off the Mexican vacation drinks for a night and went with Bombay Sapphire Gin and Tonic (MXN$290). Anyway, back to the Seafood Tower with King Crab, Oysters, Caribbean Lobster, Citrus Shrimp, Tuna Tartar, and Acapulco Seafood Cocktail. It's served in a fresh coconut and ALL six seafood selections were fresh and delish. If you're gonna switch to a Seafood Diet, this tower is an amazing start. We also split a Local Catch Tikin Xic Fish (MXN$455) which was prepared "Yucatan style." I have no idea what that means, but I'm gonna guess it means glazed with yumminess and spices. Even before the fish arrived, we got a Local Lobster Bisque (MXN$265) that's melded at the table and quickly melted my hunger. It's a bit thick, but, oh so, rich ... and the lobster was marvelous. As for dining experiences, Casitas offers two options: Dining on the deck near the bar or at a private "casita" on the beach. Both feature the same fantastic food and stellar service, but the casita costs extra. Regardless of which location you choose, my advice it is to choose Casitas for a memorable meal and add romance as needed.
Amazing food, beautiful view, intimate setting! There is truly not much more we could have asked for. The service we received was top notch, our waiter has been with the Ritz for many years and his attention to detail was on point as a result. There is an up charge for a private casita, however it was totally worth it when having a dinner for two. We each ordered a steak which was cooked perfectly we shared several sides: Spanish rice, mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus all delicious and made to share. I am on the site tonight trying to book for our upcoming trip, it was one of our must returns!

Sensational!! The food here was the best I have ever had. We did a terrace dinner and the casitas/tent on the beach. It was the best experience. No hidden charges, they told us upfront for the setup fee for the beautiful evening tent on the sand. Then the 2nd time we ate on the terrace without the tent fee. Both worth it!! Order the Baked Conchiglie Pasta with Lobster!! Also the lobster bisque was great!! Seriously, the BEST FOOD EVER!! The service is top notch!! You will not be disappointed!! read more

My husband came to the Ritz in Cancun on our honeymoon a few weeks ago and spent our last night dining at Casitas. We both agreed it was one of the most amazing dining experiences of our lives! As with the other restaurants and the hotel in general, the service at Casitas was top-notch. But what sets this restaurant aside is that you have your own private bungalow on the beach for the entire night - 7 to 11 if you so choose. We arrived at around 7:30 and enjoyed cocktails while watching the sun set. The staff set up a bed for us to lounge on outside our casita on the beach and we took full advantage of it. We ordered several courses, including a cheese tasting, fresh fish tacos and a garlic-infused bread prior to our entrees. Between each course, we retreated back to our bed on the beach and watched the waves, as the Ritz had lit up a portion of the ocean for diners to observe. For our entrees, I had the local Caribbean lobster with a side of asparagus and he had the three-chile encrusted filet, both of which were excellent. As you can imagine, we were both too full for dessert but of course that didn't stop the staff from delivering delicious truffles with a happy honeymoon message from the pastry designer (which we of course inhaled). There is an opportunity to enjoy "Casitas" dining on the terrace of their other restaurant, but in my opinion you should enjoy the real Casita in your own bungalow. They fit up to 10 people, and for an extra $125 we had one of the most memorable and wonderful dinners of our lives, a priceless experience. read more

First time in cancun and we stayed at the Le Blanc resort and spa, however For our last night in cancun we had previously made reservations at the Casitas at the Ritz Carlton and it was the best decision we made. The service was outstanding, the food was made perfectly to order and the waves crashing against the sand just made the night perfect. I highly recommend Casitas for a romantic dinner. read more

I cannot say enough things about this place. Me and my boyfriend decided to have our anniversary dinner here and we were not disappointed. The ambiance is breathtaking. You can't ask for anything more when you're dining on a beachfront candle lit dinner. Our waiter, Luis, was the absolute best waiter we've ever had. He went above and beyond than simply taking our order and totally was one of the reasons our experience was so memorable. Before we can even ask him to take pictures, he offered and was already suggesting poses for us. Not to mention he brought us a complimentary bread basket and small dessert for our anniversary. The food was excellent which is expected from a 5 star hotel like the Ritz Carlton. I ordered the salmon steak with bacon peppercorn sauce and my boyfriend ordered the steak. We had a lobster ceviche as an appetizer and creamed corn and mashed potatoes as our side dishes. Spent around $300+ for dinner for 2 which included the $140 set up fee for the private casita. Overall, the best restaurant I have ever been too. If management can please thank Luis for us. He is the absolute best! read more

This was absolutely a beautiful experience.. The Service was the best you could ask for the waiter was so kind and accommodating!! The food was fantastic and it was just an above and beyond experience. After dinner They set up 2 lounge chairs for us to sit by the water and hang out to look at the stars and the moon. Little did I know my now fiance purposed to me right there on one knee.. The experience over all was beautiful and getting engaged in mexico was just a topper!!!! It was pricy cost 125$ USD to rent out the cabana but It was worth to have our own precious moment together and to celebrate.. As far as the food It was reasonably but very high end . The bill for us both including a cocktail drink and 2 appetizers and 2 on trays was a little under 300$ including cabana, But we were so happy with the service we left him a nice tip as well. I think if you want to experience a once in a lifetime dinner and experience you should come here.. May I say it is a nice place to ask someone to marry you too... :) read more

The ambience and food were phenomenal... It is what the Ritz is all about As an FYI, part of your bill includes a fee for the Casita set up ... It was about half our bill. Would I eat here again not that I am aware of this fee ... Yes I would because of the ambiance of having a night out (literally ), not having another party close by that may over hear your conversation and most importantly the sound of the ocean in the background. read more

The Private casitas was such a great dining experience for our last night. Rudy, our waiter, was great & very knowledgeable. From the appetizers to dessert, everything was completely 5-star in quality & presentation. To top the night off, there was a fireworks display right off the beach. Needless to say, the night was one our family will talk about for years to come. read more
