The food at La Cocina is so good! Their breakfast buffet is one of the best I have had in Mexico. Lots of different options to select from. The French toast will melt in your mouth. I am not usually a French toast person but this blew me away! read more

Great selection of food in their breakfast buffet. They have a wide spread with diff types of breads, cereals, Mexican food, coffees, juices, fruits, yougurts etc! Great service too! Seating is fantastic with outside seating having the beach view. The only downside is the price. It's almost $42 UsD pp which I think is very expensive for breakfast. But great food, definitely worth a checkout if price is not a concern. read more

Teresita!!!! She was our waitress and friend while visiting and made this stay exceptional. Ambience- excellent. I mean look at those photos and views. What's not amazing, it's a true vacation spot. Food- I enjoyed it. It isn't the most authentic Mexican cuisine but it's good and they have so many options so everyone is sure to find something. Price- average for a resort hotel. Staff- amazing, absolutely wonderful. Can not say enough things about the staff. Again, look at those views :) read more

Expensive and food has no flavor - you better off going to IHOP for breakfast ... servers are nice

La Cocina is one of the restaurants at the Grand Hyatt in Playa del Carmen. Indoor and Outdoor seating. The hostess gave us sanitizer on our palms each time we arrived. As part of Grand Club benefits, free breakfast buffet and dinner drinks and food were served in La Cocina. I was told Grand Club members usually go somewhere else but due to renovations-- it was in a dedicated area of La Cocina during certain hours. There were always some type of vegan option but not much.. and actually I'm not quite sure if the food and service that Grand Club members received is separate or can be reviewed for La Cocina but that's where it was and the place was always clean and service was very good. Memorable and consistent excellent service was provided by Miriam and Christian. I'd rate lower for the lack of vegan options but the service-- keeps it at 5 stars. read more

Very limited vegan options but delicious. The service is very good. The ambience, and prices, are what you should expect from a high end resort read more

Well if you want an over priced breakfast this is the place to go. The buffet was $30/ person usd. We ordered off the regular menu and everything was very good 3 people it was a bit pricy for breakfast at $60 . I guess you can expect the higher prices in the Hyatt. but for breakfast it's rediculous in my eyes. The views are amazing from this place read more

This place is the bomb for breakfast buffet. We came here almost every morning for this amazing endless spread of pastries, salty lunch fare, perfect omelet station, and desserts/fruits, wit combination of European/American flavors and traditional Mexican dishes. We are super lucky to stay at the grand Hyatt with such amazing breakfast every day. The things to have/try, depending on availability of those things on that day - pozole (soup with pork and grain). Love this soup. Had this when I was in New Mexico and it's excellent here - Mexican coffee (a bit sweet but worth trying). Skip the churro. - the sausage and honey ham table always have good meats there. If they have grilled sweet peppers next to them, take them. - red prickly pear (fresh fruit section) - red prickly pear jam (next to the coffee and Oatmeal section) Other things are great - these are just the ones that are Mexican specialties or especially delicious. Sit outside and enjoy the breakfast. Come here earlier if you can (before 10am so you could have some calm times at the restaurant before the crowd arrives. Also the staff is exceptional. The chef is awesome. When I was disappointed that they didn't have Pozole that day, he brought out another soup for me. The danger of this place is that my eyes are bigger than my stomach - have to eat breakfast elsewhere 1-2 times just to not blow up completely during my holiday. The juices here are a bit too sweet for my taste. Get a Chaya/pineapple smoothie from the smoothie shop close to the lobby instead. read more

pretty buss except i ordered tortilla soup and they literally give u like so little of it. it was good tho. but other than that, it has a good view and is pretty. service was fine too. read more

We came here for a fancy dinner on our last night at playa del Carmen. Hyatt never disappoints. Thought it was definitely on the pricier side, the food was fantastic and the service was top notch. The cuisine is more like Mexican inspired than Mexican, but I was really impressed with the twists the chef made on different dishes. I really enjoyed the whole dining experience along with live music performance. The view was spectacular next to the ocean. This definitely has more exclusive feeling since the property was designed as the resort for many who wants to have all at one place. read more

Great restaurant inside Grand Hyatt hotel at Playa del Carmen! Open air restaurant right on the beach with great views. Chilean lime chicken wrap with aioli 5/5 - perfectly seasoned and grilled wrap with delicious sweet and sour salad and corn salad. Pulled pork quesadilla - perfectly moistened pork with delicious cheese and salsa. Will definitely return :) read more

Great food for a hotel restaurant and you can't beat the views! La Cocina serves as the casual restaurant for the Grand Hyatt Playa de Carmen and faces the ocean with it's open air format. We ate breakfast here most days (loved their Chilaquiles) but they also have a big breakfast buffet if that is your thing. We also had them bring us lunch to the pool each day so their wraps, salads, and burgers are also very tasty. And don't forget the drinks! This bar pours some mean drinks that will have you smiling from the start. The staff is absolutely top notch, wanting to serve you and make sure you get what you want. Great food, reasonable prices and outstanding servers? Pretty amazing for a hotel restaurant! read more

Came here as wanted Place with good food but also tv at the bar so could watch NCAA basketball. Got added benefit of view of the ocean. Food was great as changed menu item to make it not diabla i.e. Spicy. Ribs were meaty and international mix of German slaw with spicier Mexican sauce. Service was great as Alejandro spoke French perfectly having lived in Montreal. Pricier than many places in Area but worth it. If not staying here they will validate the valet parking. read more

We are currently staying at Grand Hyatt. We love going to La Cocina. Food and drinks are great. Service is excellent. They are very welcoming and make you feel very comfortable like home. I see some reviews people saying they delay on drinks, but if you ever need anything, just raise your hand up and they will be with you very quick. Thank you guys for the great experiences. read more

Hotel restaurants have a tendency to be unimpressive - they have a captive audience, after all - but this place was amazing. Everything is fresh, fresh, fresh. I highly recommend the breakfast buffet. They had all sorts of amazing things you wouldn't find back home: tamales and quesadillas made to order, chilaquiles, Mexican hot chocolate, fresh Chiapan cheese, plus all the regular items one would expect. The Mexican hot chocolate was a real treat. Just as an FYI, they seem to have more vegetarian options during breakfast and lunch than at dinner. read more

The service here is just horrible. Even if you go through the buffet for breakfast, it takes forever for a serve to bring you utensils, water, condiments etc. I ate through my breakfast before I even got my coffee delivered to the table. Not sure what's going on here but it's not organized. Rating a 2 only because the fresh fruit is great hwre read more

We stayed at the Grand Hyatt, and ate at this restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Their 'Luna Azul' specialty drink is sweet, bubbly with a hint of lime, definitely worth a try! The dishes we ordered 'salmon tacos' and 'fish salad' are tasty and tangy. The waiters are attentive. Oceanfront view is very romantic. read more

We spent a week at the Grand Hyatt. The restaurant La Cocina was our favorite inside of the resort. Teresita was our waitress almost every time there. She is amazing! She went above and beyond many times. She was always happy and made each of our meals great! (Try and sit with her always) We will be back! read more

I am always skeptical about the restaurants in hotels with ocean view but this one bit my expectations by far. We had various tacos here and they were all really good. Service was outstanding and the view is just remarkable. Super delicious, clean and relaxing place. read more

Great breakfast/brunch buffet. Everything fresh and tasty. Amazing variety of breads, meats, fish, fruits, and all the breakfast staples like: omelets to order, sausage, ham, oatmeal, etc. Expensive though...about $25 usd per person. read more

The food was very good and the service was great and very fast. The food was very vegan friendly and you could order food or eat at the buffet. You could eat inside or outside, the outside view was beautiful and the inside was very nice. Overall it was a great time and a wonderful experience. read more

Great food, great service. Beautiful views. My favorite was the guacamole. Just wish they had more food options.
