Tourist trap - and we fell for it! We saw signs for this place all over the island and figured why not. We opted for the one drink package ($16/person) and weren't impressed. We were given fuzzy ponchos to wear before entering the ice room. We then entered and had time to walk around it and take pictures. The 'cocktails' were premixed and not tasty and the kids were given a can of soda. Overall we got some laughs out of it and took some pictures. If you have money to blow, check it out - otherwise do something else.

We stopped here because it was included in our day tour of Isla Mujeres. While here, we saw many groups of tourists. It appears that this place has deals with many tour groups to provide a free lunch and is obviously a tourist trap. In terms of the food, it was nothing special. It is buffet style Mexican food that is about quantity not quality for the large groups. The only thing that makes this place somewhat interesting is their namesake ice bar. The majority of the space is an outdoor restaurant but they have a bar on the side that is basically a big fridge box. They provide coats for the customers and you order drinks from the bartender. Drinks were not included with the free meal of course.

This was an experience, but not one I would repeat. It's fairly affordable ($18 USA per person) and include 2 drinks and a shot. The shot is of tequila (no other options), and drink choices are very limited (margarita, pina colada, beer). We didn't last long (not joking - it's cold) and I'm still weirded out by the capes. Not sure they've ever been washed. You also pass through a sales gauntlet to get there. Challenging parking for golf carts. Overall - not bad for a one-off experience.

Very cold!

Touristy but we had a good time. The margaritas were just "ok". Don't know if I would ever go back unless we were with a big group to have fun. But we did have a fun time with only the 4 of us in the ice room.

A novel place to stop and have a couple of drinks and snap some photos. The $18 USD price includes two rail drinks and a shot. If you get cold inside the ice bar, you can use the coupons in their regular bar too (which we did).

Ok, this place is definitely a tourist trap for sure, but well worth a visit to check it out. You have to go once; only once. Basically for about $15 (USD) you get a to go inside a giant walk-in cooler that has ice sculptured walls and seats and other stuff. The entrance (why it is worth it) also includes 2 drinks (selected cocktail or beer) and a shot of tequila in a frozen shot glass. Plus it's damn hot during the summer in Isla Mujeres, so going into a freezing freezer is sometimes the best way to cool off. It's actually pretty cool, no pun intended. Also on site is an outdoor bar and restaurant and gathering area on the water. I recommend trying it once when it's hot outside.

We came to the Icebar to try something different. It was 18 below! Super cool! Literally! Then spent some time at the beach having more drinks. Even bought some killer coffee tequila from a family owned business! Not to mention the endless free samples! Now time to eat!

Capitan Dulche - Shrimp Tostada

Great bar away from the busy side of the isla, close to Garrafon Park…read more Good drinks, nice tiny beach and fun pool with the bar. Tuna tostadas are fabulous.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. We thought it looked really nice on the way in and…read moreit was very close to our private villa. The one drink I had was good. The beach was nice but a lot of rotting grass. None of this is factoring into my rating. I walked out into the water of Capitan Dulche's cove to cool down and the dogs on the neighboring property ran down to the beach, jumped into the water, swam out and started attacking me before I could even attempt to get away. I have bite wounds on my left arm, neck, upper, and lower back. They only stopped biting me, because I grabbed one by the throat until it yelped. Which scared them away. These were large black lab type dogs. They would have killed a child. I had to pay a doctor to come treat my wounds. The staff there offer my friends an old first aid kit, but otherwise offered no apology, and still charged us for our drinks. A woman patron approached us and said they almost attacked her on a paddle board the day prior. She also informed us she lives on the island and she is aware that this has happened before. There are no warning signs, no security measures in place between the properties. These dogs will kill someone it is just a matter of time. Definitely do not go to this place. FYI I was here only maybe an hour before the attack. I was sober, and I was not being loud or doing anything that would cause a dog attack.

you don't get this restaurant like this right on beach everyday.. Awesome lunch at amazing…read morelocation... we have read reviews about tikinxic fish and how great it was in taste and not to add an awesome view of the beach with pier. I guess Playa Lancheros is the place name as we had lunch in La Casa del TikinXik restaurant. but every review goes by Playa Lancheros so doing the same :P we got the beachside table, it was bit empty, I guess every restaurant along the shore, offers the same view and same tikin xic fish. let me tell you before if you want to order which you should, order ll take 1 hr at least as they ll start cooking after the order. in this restaurant, you can see kitchen (especially for tikin xic fish) nearby parking area. also, they don't serve you nachos free like other Mexican restaurant. they charged us 80 pesos for this when we asked why did not we get nachos. our fish came, it was really good, but it was more than enough for 2 people. 3-4 folks can have whole fish. The fish order goes by per KG. and guesses what it was not expensive. 300 pesos for 1 kg Tikinxic Trad coro, and some other fish 300+ pesos. tikin xic is the preparation, not fish name. Tikin Xic, pronounced "teekeen sheek" in Yucatec Mayan and meaning "dry fish", is a fish dish prepared in the Meso-American style. The fish is prepared whole then marinated with adobo de Achiote and sour oranges then wrapped in a banana leaf and cooked in an earth oven beneath a wood fire in the side dish, rice-lettuce was there with beans and tortillas. the green sauce which was nothing but green chili sauce. mind it, it's very hot but good in taste ;) Waiter seems to very busy. Apart from fish, we ordered Mango Margarita, SOL beer, salsa Mexican. all Mexican restaurant serves their main items with tortillas (bucket of small tortillas) and sauce (green-salsa). you make taco and eat. it's the Mexican thing. Also, they don't serve water in the restaurant. I have read in blogs that one should be very careful with drinking water, but why restaurants don't serve drinking water, not sure. They had added gratuity in the bill. upon asking, you can change the % of tip. 20% is by default added. I have asked for the fresh bill and added 10% to it. one yacht came and all people got off and headed to another restaurant, seems they were under a part of some tour package. This Restaurant had swings and I enjoyed it while waiting for fish, you can also have some fun in the water. water was clear and the reef was not there. we walked on the beach with the drink, took photos, enjoyed swings. What an unforgettable experience with the awesome amazing view. ( See my pictures). Definitely recommended :)

The Tikinxic was simply amazing! Service was attentive but not over the top. This is a must if…read moreyou enjoy grilled fish. Wish we had more time to enjoy their other options. Beautiful beach view. Expect up to 45 minutes to prepare. Worth every minute.

Green Demon - Ceviche tostadas

10/10 except pricing, you going to pay American price here for food, drinks, beach is shallow you…read morecan walk out really far and crystal clear. Floating and relaxing or kids playing. Waves are pretty calm. Beach beds are $1000 pesos, bring your own towel, their towel is like long pillow case think. Buy a bottle it's better than paying per drink if you stay all day!! The tostada's shrimp ceviche was fire!!!!!! Not spicy but delish!!! We also had the chicken sandwich was scrumptious as well!!!! They have mini ice chests in the wooden box to keep your drinks cold! Buckets of beer, fresh juices and other non-alcoholic choices as well! DJ playing music good mix between reggaeton and American pop! We was jamming all day! Spa onsite of course had to do the relaxing massage for hour $85USD and her hands were magic!!!! Beach vendors are here but just say no and they move on. Hair braiders on the beach as well. For all you smokers, they had people selling vapes on the beach like $50USD. But against the law to smoke in public, you don't see people smoking and if they vape they hide it. There you go. Rode the ferry over $30 from Cancun. $10 Taxi to the beach club or walk hot as he## 15min there. We did taxi! Plenty and agree on price before getting in. If you forget anything they have tons of small shops for all your beach needs, pharmacies are on every corner in Mexico so whatever you need - from pain to sunburn cream! They got you!!!!

We enjoyed our time at Green Demon! The cost to rent the daybeds is very reasonable... only $500…read morepesos! They don't provide towels, so you need to bring your own. But the service was quick, attentive, and friendly which was great. The reason for 4 stars is the food was just okay. But if you're just looking for a beautiful beach, nice daybed, and solid drinks I would highly recommend this place!!
