This place reminds me of "long lasting gum" that isn't long lasting at all.. At first, it's a wonderful delight, euphoria-like, taking by princess to the ball. The ambiance is everything you thought it would be, and craftsmanship was something to see. You really wonder how was this created? We had high hopes that it wasn't over-rated, but let's wait and see. The margaritas were some of the best we've had but I regrettably tell you the rest was sad and it was all downhill from there. The risotto was a no no and the pork taste like culo for way too many pesos. The museum was dope but overall a nope and they need a new chef to give them hope again. read more

Everything about Kin Toh is so dreamy. Do yourself a favor and request Mauricio as your server when you make your reservation. There are servers that really make a dining experience come to life, he is it. He went above and beyond. He noted the sunset, particular places to snap a few photos while we waited on our entrees and was so passionate about his workplace and full of recommendations for us as new visitors. No extra charge for the best server in the restaurant! read more

I visited December 20th 2023. This place is beautiful and a must see! The service was also great! Knocking off one star because I came in the early afternoon and security guard at front said in order to enter we had to spend a minimum of $35 per person because of "high season". I found this disappointing because there was not a lot of people and no where on the website did they say anything about a minimum $. He said to come back later after 8pm if we didn't want to spend a minimum per person. I came back after 8pm and the restaurant was completely empty. It was cool we had the entire place to ourselves until closing but what happened to "high season" my group spent over $200 on just drinks!! Yes the drinks were great but the drinks started at $25 read more

Once in a lifetime. Luis and javier were ourservers for the night. Impeccable service. The food was great. We decided for the 8 course menu, which started out with a salad, followed by 3 fish plates, veal tartare and a rib eye, and finished with 2 desserts! The wine was excellent. I am glad we did not pair since the glasses were extremely generous (we had 2 each) I recommend it to everyone who is visiting Tulum and wants a night of extravaganza. read more

Ribeye tasted so fresh and was delicious! Only putting 4 stars because I didn't enjoy the salad. It's a bit sour read more

Fantastic! Upon arrival, you are led down a short path to the hostess stand, and then up an exceptionally beautiful stairway to the main part of the restaurant. The photos do not even do this place justice - it is an incredible aesthetic experience! We had an incredible view towering over the treetops, and wished that we had come earlier to watch the sun set from there. We began with cocktails and the tuna tacos. The tuna was amazingly fresh, delectable! We followed that with the coconut prawns, they were perfection. Our waiter brought us a sampling of breads. While all three were fantastic, we both agreed that the onion was our favorite. Everything we tried, including dessert was phenomenal, and we will definitely make it a regular stop on our trips to Tulum. Before we left, we decided to get a couple of photos of us, and asked someone working in the bar. He took the time to not only take our photo, but walk with us around the restaurant, showing us the best spots for photos. And, upon leaning we enjoy wines, we showed us our incredible wine storage and humidor. The service offered here, was second to none! If you enjoy first class food and service, you simply can not visit Tulum without experiencing this amazing place. read more

Don't bother. They charge a $32 min spend at the bar for mixologists who seemingly to us had little creativity or skill beyond what they specifically had to do (gave them a brief of an interesting twist on an old fashioned and got an old fashioned). Then you eat the food - welcome to a total inability to celebrate great ingredients or use herbs and spices effectively - pretty impressive given every place we ate at in tulum managed this. Oh and prepare yourself to be treated like you're lucky to be there. It is pretty (and full of mosquitos) abut save yourself from the instagrammers and go to one of the many excellent restaurants in tulum like Hartwood instead (or even just go to the taco stand in town and have something simple but tasty) read more

This place is amazing! First, the place itself--beautifully decorated in an eco-chic style. This truly is a treehouse restaurant, and you can take some awesome photos if you're into that. Drinks were pretty good, but there are a lot of great bars on the Tulum hotel stretch, and I wouldn't say the cocktails are anything particularly special (and they're very expensive). As for the food: absolutely the best we had in Tulum. Highly recommend the tasting menu--you get your choice of appetizer, main, and dessert, and can do an optional wine pairing. The wine pairing was also phenomenal--the sommelier was friendly and knowledgeable and picked fantastic wines for us. Try to go on a sunny day/clear evening so you can sit outside or try out one of the nest-style tables. We went on a rainy day and couldn't enjoy those. Even if it's rainy, though, the food is amazing and you can still take some great photos. read more

Simply Incredible. Not to miss. Food was pricey and not many vegetarian options but still good. Some of the best cocktails we had in Tulum, not watered down like some of the beach clubs. It is open air without A/C and only a couple fans, was beautiful to see the golden hour/sunset there but was much cooler and more tolerable once the sun went down. Not for kids, there's too many ways a kid could jump and fall off of the structures. Valet parking is included. Recommend wearing sandals that are easy to slip on and off, or going barefoot. The art and construction of this place is truly incredible. read more

Not only is the atmosphere of Kin Toh absolutely amazing, but the staff was constantly going above and beyond throughout our entire visit. Our waiter Javier, was fantastic, and so attentive. He spent time going through the menu with us to help us make the right selections, and I really appreciated that he didn't seem rushed to help his other tables. He was able to talk wit us for a while, and even give us pointers on sights to see while in town. We're also very grateful to Arturo, he gave us a full tour of the restaurant, and took so many amazing photos for us! All around top notch experience not to miss! And get there for sunset! read more

Sad to do this but I have to. Very disappointing with this restaurant. Read all bad reviews and 1 stars but was to late to cancel cause they charge $2000mxd fee. Atmosphere is nice but so dark and no view at all. Perhaps day time much better. Food was really bad especially when you paying $500+ Some food items over seasoned and some just bland lacking flavour. Restaurants down road like Rosa Negra or tabbo got tasty food and show with music and performers full of life and excitement. Also much cheaper Not coming back for sure read more

We came to Tulum for my boyfriend's birthday. We planned everything out months advance to ensure this trip was perfect for him. We googled where to eat, where to stay, what to do, basically had everything planned out. I made a reservation at this venue a month ahead of time and put in the notes that it was my boyfriend's birthday trip and his actual birthday on the day that we went. As I walk in the greeter did not say hello she just asked for my name. She then asked if I was celebrating anything, I said yes a birthday it should be in the reservation and she said oh yes it is. OK fine whatever- We're seated at a nice table and greeted. The table behind us also had a birthday so we saw how it should have went down. They came out, shut off the fans with a candle and ice cream and went about the whole thing. I was excited because again this was his birthday trip and he really wanted to come here because of the views and the reputation that it had. We ordered two appetizers, the grilled octopus and the clams. After about 15 minutes the server came back and said that they were out of the clams. Okay, no problem - we picked out another one, the lobster. The octopus came out first and then we were waiting on the lobster. Very small portions which we knew but just be prepared for that as well. As we are waiting for the second appetizer, he orders another drink, 10 minutes go by and we don't receive the drink. We stop the server and ask him and he says that he will go get it. Another 10 minutes go by and we stop a server to see if he can get the drink because now it's been 20 minutes. At this time we still don't have our second appetizer or the drink. Our entrées come out - I ordered the fish and he ordered the pig. As advertised on the menu it said fish with bok choy. My plate came out with fish and Romain lettuce. I asked the server where the the bok choy was he said they were out of it and that they put lettuce there instead. Not what I ordered not what I wanted nor what was advertised. We never received the lobster appetizer. When we told the server just to forget it and take it off for a bill he didn't apologize and just stared at us, it was a little awkward. At the end of the day all I cared about was that he had a good birthday and that they were just come out with a candle to be honest with you even after the crappy service/food... The server came out with a plate that said happy birthday Kyle in chocolate. No candle, no shutting off the fans, no ice cream, no nothing (not like the table behind us) Now I'm getting frustrated -- there was two lanterns on the table that had candles in them. I had to scoop a candle out with a spoon as the server is watching so he could have something to blow out. Clearly that wasn't what I wanted to do but I was determined at this point. Once I got the candle out of the lantern it just blew out because the fans were still on. This was a $300 dinner- Needless to say this place is only good for their photos/views and a drink. Go during sunset it is beautiful but the food is not good the service is not good. Trust the other reviews and just get a drink to see the view take photos and leave. Very small portions bad service bad food heavily priced. We ate at the Punta Piedra Beach Posada next door the night after and it was so good (go there) read more

Came here for dinner. Would highly recommend having a reservation. We were seated pretty quickly since we had a reservation. Started with cocktails which were tasty. Only giving 3 stars because I ordered the seared tuna entree which consisted of 5 very tiny pieces of tuna for $40 USD. I was shocked it was called an entree and had to double check with the server that this was in fact the entree. Aside from the unfilling entree the architecture is really incredible and the experience is pretty cool. read more

Was really excited to come here and went to celebrate my 35th birthday with my girlfriends. Made a reservation and required credit card to reserve. Pretty easy to get in, reserves 7:30 a few days before for a party of 3. Some girls we met in Tulum freaked us out and told us you need a $1000 minimum to eat here which is not true unless you want a "nest" which is their special seating. They have a tasting menu for 4 items or I think 8, $90-$140 ish. Without the wine pairing. We instead went with ordering our own items which I recommend, and also asked for each item to be brought out one at a time so we could appreciate each plate individually. The oysters were good Pasta dish was over salted and they graciously replaced it - gave it to me for free after I made a fuss just to see if they would give extra service ie something complimentary because of the unpalatable food. Poor waiter who asked his boss said I could get free water. Sommelier was present but didn't give a whole lot of insight Overall, nice servers, over priced, spent too much on the environment, way too dark to even see my food, think management could have upped the ante. Would not come back despite dropping $500 on dinner. read more

I honestly give this more of a 3.5. The restaurant is beautiful, resort is one of a kind. The food and drinks were decent. We ordered the Lobster Chilpachole, it was disappointing. The lobster was over cooked and was lacking in seasoning, needed a balance of acid and salt. The soup was nearly tasteless. The Caribbean Octopus was delicious! Seasoned and cooked perfectly, the portion was perfect as well, the creamy sauce and cucumber paired well. For our main course we ordered the Duck Magret which was decent. It was served with Bacalar pineapple compote, mustard, fig balsamic, lemon, cauliflower and green beans. I found that these flavors did not go well with the duck. They just did not bring the dish together. The duck however, was cooked well and seasoned well. We also ordered the Lamb Rack, served with Chickpea, verdolaga, roasted onion, crispy tapioca, black recado and raw green salsa. It was also cooked well, but over seasoned. Prior to being seated, we ordered hookah and drinks at the bar. It took over half an hour for them to bring our hookah, and we didn't realize it cost us $110!!!! Do yourself a favor, don't order hookah there, it's not worth it. Dessert was our favorite! We had the Vanilla & Cream; Creamy vanilla, raspberry, hazelnut and white chocolate cake. It was perfectly sweet and tart textures were perfect as well! As far as drinks, i ordered the Mayan Sundance it was very tart and refreshing. My second drink was off the menu, it was made with blue Spirulina, gin, pineapple juice and other tropical fruit juices. It was phenomenal! My feedback: we've eaten at many high end restaurants and we loved the theme here, the concept, the ambiance, the plating and ingredients used. We wish that they tasted the food before brining kronur because some things were under seasoned and some over seasoned. They've got their technique in point though, meat was all cooked to perfection. The lobster appetizer however wasn't our favorite. Just a side note, wear flats and take your phone with you to the restroom because it's super dark you'll need the flashlight! Service was good but it wasn't anything out of the norm. For what you pay, they could have done better! read more

We had an amazing experience at Kin Toh, inside Azulik hotel. The entire restaurant is basically a treehouse, and everything - floor and walls, are made of wood (branches?). We were there a few weeks after they opened. We opted to go with one of their multiple course meals, and had a fantastic meal. Everything looked and tasted extremely high end but in comparison to what you would pay in the United States for a meal like this, it was VERY reasonable. Above all, it was an amazing experience. Very dim lit and great ambiance. You are seriously eating in the trees! Afterwords, our waiter let us go out and sit in the Kin Toh nest. It's basically a raised deck in the center of the entire hotel, surrounded by trees. We sat and looked at the stars for 20 minutes, it had to be one of the prettiest places I've ever been. I don't think this place gets much recognition yet because it's not in the main drag of restaurants and it's hidden inside the hotel, but definitely make a stop at Kin Toh for a really memorable meal and experience. read more

15 tasting course later, I threw up. EEK. The space is beautiful and it's truly worth going just for the rooftop views, go before sunset. But the food made me sick. The bar was cool two years ago but now it's an instagram hub for photos in a net. Everyone loves a good net photo. The scene is chill and quiet, it's a relaxing spot where they serve hookah but you can now only sit at the big tables overlooking the net if you spend $1000. Can we chill. Not worth it, go for the view and leave. read more

First let me say it's a beautiful restaurant. Definitely wear comfortable shoes or sandals as you have to be extremely careful walking through the restaurant. Weeks before my travel to Tulum I reached out to restaurant to reserve nest for dinner. I had seen this restaurant on Instagram and was originally going to stay at Azulik but opted for a different hotel. I expressed my dietary concerns being vegan and told the hostess helping me that as per their menu there were only two items one could have. The reservation hostess expressed that they had too many vegan options and that the Chef would have other options for us that weren't necessarily on the menu and that I should feel comfortable making the reservation. So I went ahead and reserved this dining in the clouds experience with so much excitement. Unfortunately it wasn't the case. And as the hostess had expressed that speaking to the servers to suggest special dishes would be an option, the servers weren't entirely sure about what it meant to be vegan as they served us bread and brought rosemary butter and also didn't have any options to offer apart from what was presented. He suggested the Roots Camouflage which turned out to just be charred carrots. We also had the Citrus Vegetable flower. Presentation was great but the taste left a lot to be desired. Long story short we left the restaurant and went to hole in wall restaurant where the food turned out to be magnificent and cost us only $39 for several dishes. This is not a restaurant I would recommend for anyone who is vegan. The manager was kind but you could definitely tell this was definitely a situation they hadn't dealt with before. It's great that they specifically let one know that this is an adult only restaurant. I think that if they can't accommodate particular diet restrictions that they should specify it at the time of booking instead of rushing to sell tables. read more

The restaurant was beautiful but the food was not great as the price. They do not take walk-in, must have a reservation before coming in. If you don't have a reservation, try checking for reservation on their website ; at least 1-2 hours before going in. We did this at 5:30pm and got reservation at 8pm. You're paying to have a dinner experience in a jungle. I love the garlic bread on the house, it was soo good. We ordered a duck magret and it was so salty!! The catch of the day was good! The deer tartar has a sweet taste but it was ok. The esquites (corn) was so hard, I feel like I can make better corn or get better corn in California. The chione calms has a coconut curry taste but the calm cannot be found. They were so small nothing on the shell? We got a cab wine, it was $200, and did not taste good at all. We had ordered Clase Azul tequila shots and they were tampered. It did not taste like Clase Azul, more like rubbing alcohol. read more

Very beautiful restaurants, it honestly resembled something out of a movie with how breathtaking it was. Staff was incredibly attentive and dessert was delicious however my main course was so incredibly bland in taste, especially for the price I was a bit shocked. read more

Gorgeous property, an expensive joke for dinner! Definition of gouge. I lived in Aspen, Carmel, and San Francisco and used to great restaurants at a high price. Save your money here! The $180 set menu is the bare minimum with over cooked lamb and tuna, over smoked mussels, crappy margarita, and marginal deserts. On top of it, we three times communicated it was a special bday and engagement to which they never acknowledged it! 5 people for $1,400...seriously get your shit together. read more

If we have to talk about the place... IT'S AMAZING! The most incredible place I have ever been to! You must see it! If we talk about food or service... not so good! Half things in the menu weren't available that night (at 6 pm, so for the first available time for dinner). We asked to take some pictures into the top of the structure and they said "no" because it had rained during the day. We took 1 appetizer to share and 2 main courses, one beer and one water: 120$! Food was ok, nothing special! ... we were upset about the paper napkins!!! ‍ read more

Staff is rude and short. Not sure the reason why. I understand that this place is Instagram famous. We would have loved to enjoy our time at your restaurant. I didn't even mind the lousy $35 prepay per person. We would have gladly spent more money if the 2 gentleman at the entrance were more customer service friendly, the hostess in her white dress not talk down to us and if our server more attentive, margarita tasted like dirty bath water and the food was mediocre at best. read more

Very high priced overvalued. For such an incredibly expensive restaurant the food was mediocre, as well as the service, even the silverware and napkins were incredibly in adequate. The architecture is phenomenal and beautiful. Do not eat dinner it is a rip off for bad food. Back order one of their mediocre drinks and take a look around to the amazing architecture. read more

I had an absolutely phenomenal experience with our waiters Zimry & Fermin here the other night - we got a nest and it seems very expensive BUT it's worth every penny. First- it was so exclusive and amazing being up there. The hotel doesn't let just anyone walk in and take photos so you won't ever feel like people are cramping you in. Our waiters were very attentive and took a ton of photos of us which was really nice (they were so patient with me, thank you). They also gave us good recommendations on food and were extremely friendly. The service alone made us wish we stayed at this hotel. The food is also phenomenal - it's all small plates but you can get a whole bunch and try one of everything! read more

Guest service is non existent in this place. I've never experience having to pay a $50 consumable fee per person BEFORE getting seated for lunch. And the servers are very rude as well. Obviously you go there for the views, and when my friend said we'd rather seat somewhere (lunch time not busy at all w empty tables) because our view was getting blocked by huge pillows, server said "why you scared of pillows!?!" When we asked to speak to a manager because from the very beginning of arriving there we just felt hostility and bad attitude from everyone, the server said they'd rather we leave than get them in trouble. Unbelievable. This place is overhyped. I hope we read the reviews first rather than just based from ig pics. Skip this one. Lots of better places in Tulum. read more

Went to Kin Toh on our last night in Tulum based on word of mouth recommendations (made reservations ahead of time). The views alone drew us in, and it was one of the best experiences we had on the trip. It was honestly pure magic. Our server Diana was lovely and very attentive and we both loved our food (shrimp with corn, and ribeye steak). If you are looking for affordable food or big portions, there are hundreds of places to go in Tulum. But if you want an experience outside of just the food, this is the best place. read more

Absolutely worth a visit if only just for the chance to wander in a large adult treehouse- space made me think Tarzan actually, if Tarzan wanted his home to be IG/social media ready and enjoyed deep house music with repetitive beats. Main entry area into the restaurant is open, overlooking the jungle, with nets strung between platforms that guests can choose to lay on (no supervision, just have to remove your shoes and step on). The views continue through the rest of the restaurant, with circular tables outdoors (nests) that offer spectacular views of the sunset. The photos on their website are accurate representations of how truly beautiful it is in real life. Note that smoking is allowed in the restaurant (may be a pro for smokers but as a non smoker it was a little unfortunate...from a safety perspective also questionable in a large wooden structure in the trees, but at least there are lots of fire extinguishers). The restaurants serves Mayan mexican cuisine. Thought the apps were phenomenal - lots of different flavors and all pretty tasty. Would recommend ordering a couple if with a group to share/pass around. Oysters (baked) in particular stuck out as delicious, though people also liked the octopus. The mains were pretty decent too. I got the seared tuna and it was solid - Chaya sauce it sat on was not overpowering. Desserts however were mediocre. Tropic of corn was my least favorite (tamale was dry and tasteless to me despite supposedly having pineapple). Rice pudding was a weird confluence and flavors and while not offensive, also wasn't something I'd seek out. The best in my opinion were the chocolate soufflé (minus the cold liquid (maybe chocolate?) in the topmost pot...it was so watery), and the crispy mestizo (my personal fav). read more

Celebrated my friend's birthday dinner here while on vacation. I was skeptical at first whether the price will be worth it since Yelp had mixed reviews. I must say it's not cheap to here obviously but it's the over-all experience is what makes it worth the money. Although we were not able to be seated outside since there's a minimum of $1300 (for three), I still enjoyed it eating inside. There were still a lot of mosquitoes even though they were smoking(?) them out. The food and wine pairing is the bomb!! Don't expect a large portion of course but I recommend their oysters and the deer!! I will definitely come back and recommend this place. read more

We decided to go to Kin Toh on our last night in Tulum. Being such a touristy spot, everyone decided we HAD to go there. We started off by visiting the "museum" at Azulik which honestly is just a large open tree inspired room. Beautiful view and great scenery to take pictures but you only need 20 minutes there. We were then guided to the bar to wait for our dinner reservation and it was boiling hot. Barely any fans, no breeze, and expensive cocktails. I had to ask the bartender for a rubber band to tie my hair up and she graciously offered me a seat in their wine cellar where they had A/C. This was prob the coolest part both literally and figuratively. The wine cellar had small bar stools and tables for you to enjoy your drink while also admiring all of the wine! Once we were seated we had a gorgeous view of the trees, the sunset, and the decor of the restaurant. We were able to feel the breeze of the ocean so not as miserably hot as the bar area was. Now on to the food! The food was delicious and they had many different options available. I opted for the surf and turf pre fixe. Although the food was good, the portions were ridiculously small. Our bill came out to $115 USD per person for the 6 of us dining. I will say we all left full and satisfied. I just wish we had bigger portions. Keep in mind your paying for the view, the decor, and the ambiance. Overall, I would recommend having a drink or two at the bar but would prob suggest having dinner elsewhere! read more

Kin Toh - Yucatan Near Me - Tulum, ROO

Visually stunning place. Visiting Tulum for the first time, I HAD to check it out for sunset. We didn't want to do dinner here so when we arrived at the front, they told us we had to pay around $30USD each to go upstairs which would be used towards drink purchases (roughly 2 drinks). Okay. They gave us a green slip to show the bartender and off we went. They failed to mention that they rope off most of the beautiful areas, limiting you to the surrounding bar area. Boo! It seemed to be the first time they started using the green slips because we were told to go from one bar to the other and the bartenders themselves were complaining it was difficult to keep tabs on people's spending. The entire time we were struggling to get drinks, the sun was setting, which sucks because after sunset, you can't truly appreciate the beauty of Kin Toh. Too dark. I still managed to get some photos in while my boyfriend waiting patiently for our beverages. Despite all the hiccups, we had delicious drinks in a beautiful setting. This place was my birthday splurge and I'm happy we checked it out, just hope they fix the green slip glitch for future patrons. read more

The ambiance here is truly enchanting. I mean who doesn't love dining by candlelight in a treehouse above the jungle canopy? That's the shtick at this place - minimal electric lighting in a romanticized Swiss-Family-Robinsonesque venue. The food was overall quite good, but I would say a bit overpriced and a little inconsistent from dish to dish. There were two of us dining, one vegetarian and one gluten free, and we each had the tasting menu for our respective dietary needs. We agreed that the best dish of the night was the poblano risotto - if you try only one thing here it should be this. Some other items, at least on the vegetarian menu, were a bit bland. The yucca ice cream at the end was pretty flavorless (I mean it's yucca) and had a tacky consistency that I wasn't a big fan of. I do definitely recommend coming here for a fun night out. It's a great way to quickly get into the Tulum spirit after you arrive. But be prepared to spend a pretty penny if you do the tasting menu! read more
