    Salads were delicious! Good selection of wine

    This is a 5 star for Cozumel. We had a lovely dinner here a few times over the years. Food is always cooked properly and tasty and of good quality. The waiters were on high alert for anything you may need or want. The Ambiance is good. We ate in the bar area at a table. There also is a covered area out in the back which we have eaten in that area a few times with a group of people. Quiet and intimate setting and able to have conversations. They do have a house cat that is wondering around that did not bother us once. The place is clean and inviting. We will definitely be back.

    We had an excellent dinner at La Cocay. We had the Mussel appetizer with the house bread. We had the fish of the day which was red snapper. It was delicious ! We had the best service by our waiter Eli (The Owl). Everything was so special! The atmosphere was very romantic and beautiful . This has just become one of our favorite restaurants in Cozumel!

    Wowsa!!! Fantastic Italian food on a small island in the Caribbean! Sign me up! This good was delicious!! We were in a fairly large group (24) and the wait time was not bad. Appetizers came out pretty fast and the friendly efficient waiters kept our drinks filled. My ravioli was great and the hubs loved the lasagna. Dessert was cream brûlée! Fantastic!! Prices were great. Restroom were clean. I will be sure to come back here again on my next trip.

    Food was great. Fresh fish. They were busy but very attentive. People were coming in off the cruise ships and there was enough seating for everyone to enjoy. I would definitely come back.

    Dinner this evening with a friend. Great service and the food was delicious. Fresh catch was snapper and it was great. Grilled shrimp and berry with cream cheese crapes for dessert.

    Wife and I were on our annual trip to Cozumel and she was in the mood for Italian and I for Greek. Long short found this "mediterranean" restaurant. I wasn't in the mood for a large meal so decided on their tapas. Got the meatballs, calamari, empinditas, mussels casino and onion soup. The mussels and empanditas were great highly recommend. The meatballs were so so don't like the sauce that came with them. The calamari was good but wasn't breaded. The onion soup was ok the soup was Mexican style more like a mole sauce/soup. Service was great and atmosphere was authentic Mexican island. Prices were pretty good too. Oh yeah had the coconut crème brulee which was awesome. I highly recommend this spot.

    We have wanted to go here for a couple of years and we're determined this trip to give it a go. The location and surrounding area does not impress but don't be put off. It's a relaxed restaurant that serves up some great food and tremendous service. The warm bread they give you free is a type of pita it's tremendous, we shared a tuna carpaccio which was fantastic than I had the octopus and my wife had the duck . The octopus was the star dish I highly recommend. They served the meals quickly but not in a rushed way which is a skill in its self. The cost of the meal is not expensive compared to US restaurants. They only take Visa or Mastercard so take cash if you have Amex they do take USD.

    We've been to La Cocay a few times over the past few years and it's always been enjoyable. I will say, if you sit in the court yard/garden out back, I would wear bug spray. We had dinner there yesterday evening for our anniversary and our server Luis was awesome. The restaurant has a romantic vibe. They gave us a welcome drink (it's alcohol free) that was super refreshing, it was pineapple mint and something else I cannot recall. We had the tuna carpaccio for a starter and we really enjoyed the basil pesto it came with, and the shaved Parmesan. The complimentary bread with oil and vinegar was great as well. It's similar to naan. I had the ravioli for an entree and my husband had the 6oz filet. We both enjoyed our meals, my husband said his steak could've used a bit more salt. Portions were sufficient, I did not finish my pasta. For dessert we shared a slice of a cheesecake and both really enjoyed it. The cocktails were great as well, I had a carajillo and my husband had a blueberry mojito. We'll definitely be back.

    My family of 4 have been coming to La Cocay for years when summer vacationing in Cozumel. Food is always very good especially when served in a quaint house setting with a beautiful patio seating. Service at times can be a little spotty especially of you get one of the older grumpy pants. Don't let that deter you from coming, they do lighten up as the evening progresses. Cocktails there have been always excellent, they make fantastic Cosmos and Sangria. Entrees ordered were Roasted Duck breast (mole sauce and a red wine orange reduction, scalloped potatoes) my favorite, Lasagne Cocay (tomato meat sauce with a trio of cheeses: ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan) and a seared Sliced Skirt Steak grilled and served with baked potato with sour cream and bacon. All the dishes came out hot and done to request and tasted great. The best of comfort food.

    Great food. Mariachi show. It's a tourist stop, and they go all out. Also did a minor tequila tasting. Tacos had great flavor, and loved the rice and black beans. Ask for the hotter salsa, because the regular salsa tastes like marinara. Friendly and polite service. They also had a photographer to capture the moments. It was an excursion off a cruise ship, so it was fun!

    Caramelized pineapple with coconut ice cream, berries, and a vanilla sauce. Yum!

    If you visit Cozumel and don't dine at Azul Madera, you are truly missing out. We had the most…read morespectacular evening here -- an absolute standout dining experience that exceeded every expectation. The atmosphere immediately sets the tone: stunning, romantic, and effortlessly elegant. The kind of place that makes a night feel truly special from the moment you walk in. For dinner, I ordered the Black Rice with Octopus -- and I cannot say enough about it. The octopus was cooked to absolute perfection, tender and flavorful, and the presentation was nothing short of stunning. Every single bite was a delight. My husband went with the Surf and Turf -- lobster and filet mignon accompanied by the most incredible bacon mashed potatoes -- and he was completely blown away. Both the lobster and the filet were cooked exactly as ordered, beautifully plated, and bursting with flavor. We kept looking at each other across the table saying "this is unreal." But what truly elevated the evening was the service. Impeccable from start to finish -- attentive, warm, professional, and genuinely gracious without ever being intrusive. Our server made us feel like we were the only table in the restaurant. Azul Madera, you have earned every one of these five stars and then some. We will absolutely be back on our next visit to Cozumel. Highest possible recommendation!

    Disappointing :( I wanted so much to love this restaurant!…read more Sadly, I was disappointed - after so many spectacular reviews here, and a recommendation from my dentist who loves restaurants. Here's why: The Good: Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp was delicious, good portion size and pasta cooked perfectly with a rich and creamy sauce (expected for fettuccine Alfredo) and tender, large shrimp. My guest was my boyfriend who was having a birthday and the reason for our visit. He had the mahi-mahi "salt" dish and he said it was good, but it didn't knock his socks off. The price was not bad considering the atmosphere and lovely decor. Hostess was welcoming and gracious. The restaurant itself is beautiful, unique, and relaxing. Not so good: Our server was not very attentive, nor sincere in his enthusiasm and didn't check on us very often, nor did he smile. The service was actually the low point of the night. He described the dishes, but not with much detail and despite comping a birthday cheesecake for my boyfriend, he wasn't very warm or enthusiastic with his "happy birthday" wish barely audible. He brought a refill on a lemonade without it being requested, but then he charged us for the refill. Not cool. Overall, a bill of $60, with no appetizer and no alcohol for "decent" food did not live up to the great reviews or hype of this Restaurant. I don't think we will be back.

    The trend I've noticed at almost every one of the resort restaurants here is that the appetizers…read moreare, by far, way more delicious than the main courses. This held true at El Mediterraneo as well. The best bite of the entire trip, my husband and I both agree, was the lamb shawarma. I should have ordered 100 of those and just eaten them all as my main course. I also IMMENSELY enjoyed the beef carpaccio. The chicken cordon bleu was straight up WEIRD. It had orange cheddar cheese instead of swiss, and was covered in a weird diced tomato concoction. It's definitely not a classic cordon bleu. The shrimp and saffron pasta was pretty boring and reminded me a bit of hospital food. If you stick to a feast of appetizers you will probably be in for a treat!

Not as big as the one at Spice but it had a decent selection. They have an omelet area where you can select your items to put in it. They have a small selection of fresh fruit, meats and cheeses. Most of the food was traditional Mexican items. So if you're looking for bacon and eggs, you'll have to ask for it. The restaurant overlooks a small pool area. It almost looks like a Vegas pool/hotel just without all the craziness. It's definitely the calmer side of the resort. Overall this was a nice little restaurant with good food. I would go again if staying at the resort.
