This restaurant is unreal ! From the architecture, ambiance & customer service. Only reason I took away one star because it can be deceiving from what you see online . The famous bird nest area everyone wants to sit in at this restaurant you have to pay and extra $700 on top of you bill to sit in the birdsnest but if you come early enough they are nice enough to let you take pics and view the area so we arrived right around the time they opened . With that being said it's a ton of nice areas to sit in inside and out the birdsnest is just icing on the cake if you ask me . It's separated from by international , Asian , & Italian and each sides of the restaurants has different themes which was pretty cool . Now on to the food ! I been seeing a lot of people complain about the price of the food but I don't think their food is priced bad here at all it's the basic price point you would pay if you go to any other upscale restaurant . I had a pasta with salmon & caviar it was delicious & my friend enjoyed her truffle lobster dish as well & for appetizer we shared a tuna tartare dish . Now I'm not even a grey goose girly but they had this drink that was grey goose mixed with a natural passion fruit juice and oh my gosh we're still boasting about that drink ! If you're in Tulum I'd say this restaurant is pretty high up on my list to visit every time

First, let me say that the restaurant is beautiful and we loved the views. We wanted to sit in "the nest" but was told it would be an additional $1,000. We declined and sat inside and we still had a great view. Our drinks looked great, but were missing the alcohol. However, at the end they did not charge us for the drinks. The food as I mentioned before is very pricy and was worried about the quality of the food, however, most of our meals were pretty tasty. The part we enjoyed the most was the Shaman who came by our table and blessed us. We enjoyed his company and his prayers.

Restaurants were created for a better culinary experience than what you can have at home. Professional chefs with a staff of cooks to create something delicious. Then at some point other restaurants were created with a different goal like a fast meal or fast food on the go and then restaurants for an experience or some sort. Top of the Eiffel Tower or in front of the Pyramids. Kin Toh is that type. You are there for the experience because the food is not the main purpose. It may look nice but the taste is average. If you are not sitting in one of those nests then I suggest you go eat somewhere else outside of the Asvlik.

We went to this place for a birthday dinner one night in Tulum. What stuck out was the birds nest vibes with actually bird nest tables which looked beautiful to sit in when the sunsets. However, we got there after dark. We wanted to, at least take, pictures up there but they wanted to charge 80 dollars for each person, which was insane because eventually they let some people from our party to do so at the end of the dinner. We just sat at a table inside. The menu is ABSTRACT. If you have food restrictions or you're not an adventurous eater, I don't know if I would recommend. I personally didn't eat for this reason. My party order two tasting menus for 11 people based on the waiters recommendation. Each tasting menu was for 2 people, max. I don't know why the waiter would recommend this for such a large party. As guessed, people got a little TASTE. Like a forkful of something. It was not filling because people went home and ordered pizza afterwards but they did say dishes were good. The drinks, which I did have, were basic. Nothing to write home about. Please make sure you check the prices before booking. Some people were shocked when we sat down at the table. The appetizers started at like 40 bucks and the entrees started at like 70 bucks. Overall, do your research before coming here to make a sound decision so you're not walking in uninformed.

We stopped by for lunch on a Sunday before Thanksgiving during our last day in Tulum. The ambiance is outdoorsy and relaxing and upscale. The service was as expected for Tulum. We ordered the ribeye taco, guacamole, the kin toh cocktail (mezcal based), and the chocolate dessert. Overall everything was so delicious. I would totally recommend to others and come back here myself.

I'm sorry to say that the views are hyped and so is the "ambiance". Sure it's kinda cool but it's not worth the trip or the money. Food was lackluster and extremely expensive. Apparently Tulum is in the market of taking advantage of tourists. A main lobster was $200 USD. A tomahawk steak was $175. We were charged for water, not sparking, just regular water. The food wasn't great. I mean you can tell the chef thinks he is creative but the food has no flavor and the portions are small. I'm not a cheap skate and I enjoy splurging especially since it was my birthday, but this was ridiculous. It was so bad we immediately went to a taco shop down the street to fill up. Also the camarerro pulled a fast one with the "special drink not on the menu" which was ok but was 500 pesos. We made a reservation for the tree top experience with our meal but they informed us when we got there that it was an additional 1000 pesos per person. I was afraid to use the restroom as I might get charged for wiping. Taxi's are a scam as well. They charge you more for leaving the restaurant than getting there. Overall experience was lame. If you and instagram "celeb" then sure, it's a good place to take some photos, but anything else you should just skip it.

This place was honestly such a scam. It's overpriced and overhyped. Go for the Instagram photos if you're into that, but leave immediately after and eat anywhere else. I was here with a group of 11 for a friend's birthday. The birthday girl wanted to take pictures in the birds nest (not even dine there. Just take pictures). We were told it would cost us $80/pp just to go up there. Upon looking at the menu, it became apparent to some that everything was super expensive. We were deciding if we should leave when the waiter convinced us to do the tasting menu. The tasting menu clearly stated that it was for two people. The waiter insisted that it would be a lot of food and if we ordered two of them, it would be enough for our large party. When the food came out, it's was very obviously not enough. Some of the dishes were good, but not all, and definitely not worth the price. My margarita being bad was a foreshadowing of how the night was going to go.

Came here multiple times for hangout and chill. The ambiance and internal decor were amazing and it could blow your mind away. It is decorated with wood and you could go into a section made out of bridge that connect multiple facilities/restaurants with different themes. We took the bridge and it was a bit shaky that could be scary at times but definitely fun and great to experience. The bridges were safe and structurally in great shape. The service was alright and there were times that the waitress/waiter would give some shit face to you, perhaps it needs training and improvement... The first time we came here was for drinks post 8pm (free entrance) and it was a bit cold and empty. It seems the place doesnt seem popular for local people but more for tourist. The second time we came was for the rooftop experience from 5pm to 8pm that we had to pay around ~$900 mexican pesos/person for the experience that included one drink and appetizers. The drinks and appetizers were alright. Nothing particular. The view was good but dont think it was worth it. The ambiance was great, but not worth it for just the ambiance as only selling point. It seemed more for influencers and people who want to have picture perfect in their social media. I believe this place is more of a high end tourist trap than a place that would stand out on its own. It markets exclusivity experience that was meh and all its product offerings were alright

The best ambience with great food! We opted for a nest which cost about $700 just to sit in one. It was definitely an unforgettable experience. We shared a couple of mains and some drinks while watching the sunset. Our server was nice and attentive, we all had the best first night in Tulum.

Planned a 10 person bachelorette dinner here and with so many people, you have to email the restaurant for them to set it up for you. Once they set the reservation, we had to put a deposit down to secure the nest. The whole thing was slightly inconvenient, but totally understandable. The service and servers were superb. Absolutely no complaints, whatsoever. The food was remarkable with the exception of the desserts which I would personally skip on as the flavors just didn't mix well IMO. Definitely recommend the SHORT RIB W/ MOLE, OCTOPUS W/ ORZO and the SUCKLING PIG. Pricing for the food was $$$. It was HOT and there were A LOT of mosquitos. They did provide us with bug spray but by that time, it was too late and we were dinner for the bugs. There was barely any lighting so FYI it's also pretty dark. Overall, the experience was nice. Views were great only before and during the sunset. Night time comes and you can't see anything. Would I come back? Probably not, but I'm glad I was able to try it out with no regrets.

Kin Toh is definitely one of the most unique restaurants I've been to, sitting atop the trees in what feels like a nest. Beware, there is a minimum spend of around $30 USD per person for breakfast. If you go over, you have to pay the difference. The menu offered a wide selection of items, from Mexican style eggs to green tea chia pudding. I personally ordered the eggs Benedict. Unlike the Benedicts back in the state, this dish came with one Benedict instead of two. However, it was super filling and yummy. I also ordered a fruit platter and it was a HUGE, featuring papaya, pineapple, berries, honeydew, cantaloupe, and watermelon. The detox juice was also super delicious. The hosts downstairs gave us a bit of trouble getting in, as we made a reservation for 10 AM when the kitchen closes at 10:30 AM. However, the hostess for the actual restaurant itself was super sweet. This restaurant was definitely a super unique dining experience - I recommend if you have the chance! And definitely tour the hotel while you're at it.

Let me start off by saying that I've dreamed about coming to this place. From social media this place was honestly unbelievable. So I really looked forward to the day I would come to this place. So the day finally came and I asked about how to make reservations and you have to make them online because they require a deposit. Prior to making them I looked on yelp of course and ooooooooo the reviews didnt look good. I thought is it even worth it..and the deposit wasn't cheap. It was $50 per person which does go towards your meal but still. Well I thought what the heck I'm already here in Tulum and I've always wanted to go here so I made the reservations. I did make them on a Monday purposely because I hate crowds and wanted to avoid it. So I arrived and checked in with the host at 7:30pm. I heard they are super strict about timing so I arrived 15 mins early just in case. We were asked to wait promptly while we walked upstairs. So this is a hotel and passed the front desk lobby. As I walked upstair I was absolutely stunned and was recording everything... I mean wow!!!! As we arrived to the restaurant upstairs there was a pretty unique hammock around, seemed a little scary for me but it's very safe. I had to lay on it of course and take some photos or else it didnt happen right. There was another host upstairs and your server comes to see you at your table. Honestly it was hard to follow when I stopped to look at everything on the way. We had a perfect table with an amazing view. We asked our Miguel is we can see the "nest".. honestly its indescribable. Although I will mention the "nest" starts at $700 USD from what I was told by the host. We watched the sunset it was beautiful. Once back at our table, Miguel came to take our order about 3 times but we hadn't even looked at it too busy infatuated with this place. I read the dishes were small so we started with an appetizers each. I had the coconut soup I must be crazy because it was super hot indoor. Also a big FYI there is not air conditioning and it get pretty hot and humid inside which is super uncomfortable especially for me and we went when the weather was bearable. Ok overall, the food was on the smaller side but I got full and was perfect for me. I had an appetizer and shared an entree to start. Would have ordered more. Our server Miguel Cruz and Irma would exceptional. I'll let you in on a little secret... there is a museum downstairs and on the way out he spoke with his manager and they allowed us to go and it was empty :) . Ambiance, I mean need I say more? Price, expect to drop some benji's but worth it!!!!! hope you enjoy !

I have mixed feelings about this place... My party of 8 had a reservation at dinner opening (5) and the host didn't greet us until 5:25. We were kindly led to our table and our order wasn't taken for 30 minutes..everything moves slowly here (could be due to the lack of a/c). Food was mediocre at best. Dessert was interesting. After sunset, they start burning sage which really made the rest of our meal unpleasant. What we thought was their proactive way of keeping mosquitoes at bay actually made it feel like they invited them in. My whole party was so uncomfortable waiting for our bill due to the constant mosquito bites we all got. Most of us asked for our unfinished food to be boxed to go. They took it to the kitchen in which we again thought was a kind service. Wrong! They combined similar entrees into one box.. what made them think we wanted our individual meals boxed together?! If it wasn't for the picturesque setting, I'd skip this place!
