One of our favorites while on site of the resort. Open for lunch and dinner. Plenty of options to choose from! Lunch: we liked their fried fish (whole) and their seafood mix ceviche. Dinner: the octopus is chefs kiss. Also their catch of the day was delicious. We enjoyed isla Contoy so much we visited them daily. read more

Quite nice seafood restaurant we dined here a few times during our week of stay, the food is very fresh and they make a really good cocktail. The salad bar and pre made food was very concerns for families with small kids who literally can wait for one more sec to put food in their mouth. The view was also nice from the deck. Lots of birds waiting around to be fed, which is entertaining for kids to watch. read more

This is a really nice restaurant -- outside, on the beach. The food was good. The service was good They have a "salad bar," that's what they call it but there was some really good non-salad food there including ceviche and Indian dishes. I'm taking away one star because as a person who is gluten-free two issues came up: 1. I ordered a whole fish dish and it had no flavor. I believe that when they see gluten-free, they take out the sauce and don't put anything in its place. It seemed like that. 2. On the buffet, there were a few things that said they were gluten-free and they weren't. It was obvious, like they had pasta and at first, I thought it might be gluten-free pasta but it was just a mistake. I asked them to change out the cards noting food allergens. This also happened at the main hotel restaurant with the buffet. A soup said it was gluten-free but there was pasta in the soup and it wasn't gluten-free pasta. 3. There was an item on the buffet that said "gluten free and dairy free" and it was covered in cream sauce. They offered to make me vegetables without the sauce which was great but they were mixed with pasta so I couldn't eat it. So for my non-GF family members, this place was great. I also enjoyed it but needed to be extra careful. Sometimes I wasn't sure if the waiters understood what gluten was. read more

We had dinner reservations at Isla Contoy during our stay at the Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach. We had a great experience. We had a great view of the ocean and they had live music. Santos and Carlos were our wait staff. They were very attentive and helpful with food suggestions. They made our visit memorable. read more

This was one of the good restaurants in grand fiesta at Coral Beach Cancun Mexico. Make sure you always have a reservation because this place gets really full and the vibe inside this restaurant was pretty upscale. The staff was super helpful and nice people. Their service was outstanding. They definitely can improve on the food options because since it was part of the package or all inclusive there was not a lot of food options when you think about seafood I mean, think about , going a different country to a coastal side of Mexico some or many seafood but that was something missing, but I don't want to take away any from them because they serviced the people the ambience divine selection was outstanding and no doubt I am going to go back there again because we really enjoyed the vibe and the place in general read more

Service - terrible. Servers are roaming around , chatting, paying no visits to tables , there came bread and then plated after ten minutes. They don't come twice and we kept waiting for everything. Food - horrible. What a bad taste! We had Chicken nuggets - over fried and stale Mac n cheese - bad taste, dry and tasted like watery sauce in it. Ravioli - bland potpourri of vegetables Lasagna - ok, something to fill our stomachs. Filet fish- average. Comes with some dry chewy barley , no flavors no taste. French fries - great!! They come with everything! Would not recommend. read more

Food was great, I loved their ceviche, very fresh. They also have other dishes with mussels, scallops, squid and shrimp. Service was great, friendly and attentive staff. Ambiance was beautiful, we sat by a beautiful view of the Carribean sea. Though some seagulls might want to join you for a meal overall very relaxing. read more

I had mixed experience at this restaurant during my stay at the hotel, was debating if I should give a two-star or three-star ratings given my four-star experience for lunches but super horrible experience at dinner. The restaurant is located next to the Ocean at Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Hotel. The breeze from the ocean created a naturally nice ambiance here. We had lunches several times here and specifically enjoyed their fried whole fish dish (a must try), the seafood pasta (super fresh shrimp and scallop) and the service provided by one of the middle age waitress during lunchtime. She was really friendly and we had some happy chats during our mealtime. However, we had super horrible experience the night we reserved dinner here. After we were seated, no one came to ask us what to drink or what to order even after we waved several times. We had to stand up to call out the server to come. After that, we were treated in a discriminative way (the table next to us were treated very differently). When we ordered the food, the server had no response and wouldn't even want to talk to us to confirm the order. Then everything came at the same time with wrong quantities of order and main dishes being served cold. Moreover, there wasn't enough space at the table to put down all the plates but the waiter still did so, ignoring our request to switch to a larger table. We had to lift our plate with hand while eating all the cold food which was ridiculous. Also, the seafood soup was too salty and they didn't give us spoon until we asked several times. Both salads tasted so plain. The seafood rice tasted so hard. The only okay dish was the lasagna but it was cold. None of us were in the mood of eating anymore, especially no one came to clean up the plate when we finished one dish and we had to put empty plate on the ground to make rooms for eating. What really pissed me off at the end was a while after we requested to take away the candles for kid's safety, the waiter purposely being another candle back near the end of the meal, with the only opening face facing my kid. What a horrible waiter! Strong advice: never come here for dinner. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants within the all inclusive Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach; note that this is an 100% outdoor seating by the beach. Given that it's outdoor, beware of the birds that will snatch your food when you're not looking! Wait staff was very nice and accommodating, quickly moving our food as soon as the rain started. We ordered their ceviche, guacamole, fish taco, and catch of the day. Overall everything was pretty decent, but the highlight of their menu was definitely their ceviche and catch of the day. Their ceviche had all the seafood you would expect, seasoned well with lime, creating a fantastic appetizer to start the meal. Catch of the day was by far the favorite - an entire fresh fish served with salad and rice. The crunchiness of the fried fish and juiciness of the meat is absolutely amazing. It was so good we came back twice within our week long stay! read more

This is an absolutely wonderful buffet located at our hotel. Steak, seafood, italian, mexican, japanese, they have everything your heart could desire. I especially enjoyed the prime rib but everything was delicious. read more

Did not have dinner here so can't speak to that experience but had lunch here for four days straight so here goes. Great food and selection. Their buffet style "salad" bar was stocked with all sorts of grilled meat, ceviche, aguachile, nigiri, etc. Menu items were amazing. We ordered all the wonderful things on all the days but two of the middle days (out of the four) soured our experience on this place, and it was the service. On those two days our servers ignored us, refused to make eye contact, brought us all the wrong items, didn't so much as pop in to make sure we had everything. On one of the days they didn't refill our waters despite us asking twice. We got the wrong ceviche but rolled with it anyway and asked for chips to eat it with. No chips ever came. We ordered a coconut drink for a premium, and they told us it was coming and never came. My mother's entree never arrived; we waited and waited and waited for hers to arrive so we could eat. Tried to make eye contact to inquire. Was promptly ignored. Finally I started sharing my (albeit delicious) pasta with her just so we could all start eating. Her food never came, no comment or questions from the staff as to how everything went. After two days of terrible service, we begrudgingly returned on Day 4 (we had planned to go to the main buffet but they lunch service didn't start until 1), and service was back to being attentive and wonderful. read more

How about some fish tacos and a Hamburguesa beside the beautiful ocean? That and much more is what you can get here. Even if you arent staying here at the Fiesta Americana I suggest this resturant for lunch or dinner for the location, atmosphere and view. read more

Great ambience and good sea food restaurant. It is a little bit on the expensive side. But the beach view definitely makes it all up for what you pay. Waiter are very respectful and are fast. Wet towels and finger bowls are offered... its definitely a nice to have. Our kids got free ice cream. read more

Pretty good food. I went for their dinner buffet which was $500 pesos. It included seafood and their seafood was spectacular in my option. Calamari, scallops, mussels, shrimp all grilled. That already I was sold along with their cheesy mashed potatoes. Service was great. read more

The venue is great with a view of the Caribbean. This all outdoor restaurant wants to be an international bistro with Mexican favorites added in. The service was an absolute disaster. The food was mediocre. If I didn't pay for an all inclusive stay at the Fiesta Americana where this restaurant is located I wouldn't go back. We tried quite a variety of dishes from the shrimp cocktail to the seafood pasta. The shrimp cocktail is basically cut up shrimp in a chilled tomato based sauce. It was ok. The fish tacos were greasy and otherwise tasteless. The dogfish fried tacos were subpar. The seafood pasta was pathetic. A thin, bland tomato sauce that was somewhere better than ketchup and a miserable helping of not so fresh shellfish consisting to three shrimp, two small pieces of squid and one dry mussel. The ceasar salad with shrimp -- such a basic -- was basically two sections of romaine, three puny shrimp and the dressing tasted like Mayo with anchovy paste. The service disaster began with a hostess who we basically had to be firm with to not get a table in the bright sun. Then came the salad snafu. We ordered a Cobb w chicken and a ceasar with shrimp. We got the reverse. Others in the party took those salads anyway and we asked for a shrimp ceasar. After a wait a chicken ceasar arrives. I was besides myself because I had been clear, spoke Spanish and had remarked that I didn't want chicken. The waiter actually had the gall to say that's what I asked for. Unbelievable! On the third attempt it arrived and it was a total letdown. Fortunately the mezcal we ordered was good. read more

Service was exceptionally bad. 6 waiters, 5 tables to wait on. Waiters seemed to think they were being paid to stand around and chat with each other and didn't even try to make eye contact with customers to see if they needed anything. Didn't bother putting salt, pepper shakers or ketchup and mustard condiments on our table when food was finally served. Had to keep trying to catch their eye and when we finally got their attention they didn't bring it. We had to go to the waiters main station and just pick up the salt, pepper and condiments container ourselves. Food was boring and Americanized. Very pretty seating area though overlooking g pool and ocean. read more

Everything was perfect, food, service, decor. It was windy so we sat " inside", which was a roofed area with no walls. It was located between the pool and the ocean. The host and waiters went out of their way to make sure we had everything. I tried everything at the buffet. A good mix of meat, fish and veggies. Additional seafood was available cooked fresh off the grill. read more

I have eaten here multiple times during my stay at the coral beach. The servers are very attentive and the location is great. The food changed every day, there was always good seafood options and I liked a lot how they cooked it. For example fried salmon and tuna were just perfect with a bit of lime, no sauce needed. The entrees are good as well but I really came here for the seafood most of the time. They also have a good selection of breads, salads and desserts. Definitely 5 stars considering the reasonable price which has 2 drinks included. read more

Excellent view, great food perfect service. Very convenient especially if you're staying in the hotel as well.

5 stars for breakfast buffet. Very nice lady at the omelet station, and the smoothies are good. 2 stars for the dinner buffet. It's a "seafood" buffet except you have to keep going back and forth, and there's 1 guy cooking the seafood. We used to say the sodexo school dining hall is "all you want to eat" instead of "all you can eat." Same concept for the dinner buffet here. read more

Hotel Tourist trap, really crappy food and average service at really expensive prices. Extra star for the view. In fairness most of the restaurants around hotel zone are sub standard. Mexican food like a bad American restaurant. Do yourself a favour get on a ferry to Isla Mujeres or a taxi down the coast. read more

This was a great find!! Thanks to Yelp!! It's a buffet inside a 4/5 star hotel right by the pool and the beach. For the price of 590 pesos (kids half), you get perfectly seared fresh scallops and tuna, well seasoned mussels, paella, salmon, more seafood I can't remember, ceviche, portobello mushrooms, fresh veggies for salads, cooked dishes, two drinks (wine and cocktail or soda) per person, fancy soup, dessert, carved lamb chop......the whole nine yards. You can also add-on or order steak and seafood dishes separately. And the service is excellente!! The staff is well trained. They help you bring your dishes to your table and keep a non-invasive eye to attend to your needs right away. The ambience is relaxing, exotic, romantic and different. The ocean view and breeze can't be beat! Thumbs way up up up!! read more

Excellent food. And not pricey if you will have 2 alcohol drinks and kids can eat with the kids menu for free
