Overall my experience here was great, only once was an order not up to our expectations out of the…read moremultiple times that we ate here. Safe to say, do not order steak, everything else just go for it! Their mojitos were my personal favorite, even after just having two of them i felt great! (But I had more) I also am a huge fan of their ceviche, their portion was quite large enough to share with my entire family, not to mention their shrimp with rice plate was also a favorite. My kids though liked their burgers and their pizzas especially when we did not want to go out. The service was great especially after the servers go to know us more and knew what we liked, they were great and informative on the menu items and seated us where we liked which leads me to my next topic: The scenery. The scene was amazing! I loved the breeze from the beach as the sliding doors were open while we ate (and did close them when it was a bit too windy) but it was so beautiful both in the morning and during sunset as we enjoyed our meals.

The view in this restaurant is amazing. The sliding glass windows open to a fresh breeze just a few…read moremeters away from the beach below. The food, however, is very mediocre. The tacos need as much pico de gallo and salsa as possible, just to have any flavor. There is a brick oven where they make pizza. I figured that would be good. It tasted like US public school cafeteria pizza. A notch below Celeste frozen pizza. It's located within the hotel by the pool and, like I said, has an amazing view. It's not winning any awards.

I saw so many videos and read so much hype about this place. I was excited to try it. I was just as disappointed when I threw out my burrito after a couple of bites. The food here is not good. It is so basic. I ordered chili cheese fries, and a burrito. For the burrito, you have to complete a form for your customizations, which I thought was going to be efficient. Unfortunately, despite my burrito, having everything in it that it was supposed to, I was overwhelmed by the massive amount of onions. Additionally, I was underwhelmed by the amount of shrimp inside my burrito. There weren't many at all and the entire burrito literally tasted like nothing. I ordered the shrimp and mahi. There was absolutely nothing remarkable about it. For a second, I almost wondered if I had Covid because the flavor was so lacking.But after speaking to friends of mine who also visited, I realized that I wasn't the only one. In total, I spent about US$32 on an order of chili cheese fries, a jerk, chicken, quesadilla, and a burrito. Fries: so bland. I wanted to throw them out, but I saved them and took them back to my hotel and added salt. It helped a bit, but these were overwhelmingly underseasoned and lacking flavor. The portion, however, was huge. Two out of five. Burrito: more mahi-mahi than shrimp, and neither protein was flavorful. The entire burrito was very bland and was full of more onions than I would ever care to eat. The burrito wasn't OK size, but it did not taste good. Two out of five. Jerk, chicken quesadilla: basic. Not super flavorful. And the chicken did not taste like jerk chicken at all. It didn't even have jerk flavor. Didn't even taste like they rolled the chicken in a little bit of jerk before cooking it. Three out of five. The staff noticed that I did not eat much of my food and asked if I didn't like it. I informed them that I did not like it and that I didn't think it had enough flavor. They did not care. I didn't fully expect them to because I know customer service is very different in Mexico, but I expected more. She even asked if the burrito was too spicy, which was hilarious because there was nothing spicy or even flavorful about it. This is very much a hole in the wall, kind of spot that has been blown up on social media. Very casual vibes, and there appears to be a small roof area where you can overlook the street. I would not return here. I also would not recommend it. Another example of influencers likely getting free food in exchange for review reviews. However, they do have a sign up that says you can get a free shot if you leave a review.

In the past this place has always been a staple for us, but each year we go we like it a little less. This year majority of the group was disappointed in the entire experience from the service to the food. To start, the service was lacking compared to what we get at other local restaurants nearby. Our servers did not frequently come back to ask if we needed anything and we were constantly having to ask to get our waters refilled. The drinks are good, but nothing we can't get elsewhere. Half of our group enjoyed (but not loved) their food and half did not enjoy. My SO and I split the al pastor meal. In the past we have loved this, but this time it felt like they rushed to make it and the flavors we remembered just weren't there. It was still good, but I think it could have been better. I do love the churro cart here, but you can get good churros several other places. Overall, this place has gone downhill in our opinion, and for the price it isn't worth it when there so many better options close by. I'm sure we will be back, but I think we might skip a year stopping here.

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends We're so…read moreglad you could attend Come inside! Come inside! (Emerson, Lake & Palmer) What a crazy place this is! It's a gorgeous bar, with all kinds of fancy seats and booths and what looks like beds everywhere. It has a DJ booth in the middle of the room, which makes sense because Avenue turns into a dance club at night. It's also a place for shows and entertainment, with a show every night at 8:30 -this week you could choose from 70's songs, Carribean Night, a Michael Jackson Night, Broadway Night, Mexican, International, and Circus. We walked by last night as the Circus show was in full swing. The place was packed and folks were standing three deep in the lobby to watch the three acrobats walking up a pole with their hands and feet, spinning around, moving up and down, head first and feet first, then standing on each other. Pretty cool. We also saw a juggler with neon light rings and flaming things that created a pretty nice visual as he whipped them around. Totally fun..

Our server Miguel was great. One of my friends ordered a apple martini. And he had this rolly cart that came over and prepared it infront of us. It had a slice of cucumber and he had then taken a fresh piece of rosemary. He lit it near the rim and aromatically added rosemary to the martini! My friend loved it so he drank 3 of them. I had a mango martini. It was good but after drinking all day didnt want to overload before dinner so i only had a few sips but it was good! Espresso martinis. Were also ordered i was told it was delicious. I dont drink coffee so it didnt interest me. 8:30 the music starts pumping the fog machine starts to pump some fog smoke. Then the dances started coming out in such vibrant costumes. In this lounge the sj booth is in the middle and open we were on the side. And everyone was all over as the dancers performed in the middle. I felt like i was at a dancing with the stars performances. Girls were getting flipped had head pieces on. And the guys knew how to shake it!! The costume changes were quick and they came out from one routine to the next! Cant wait to go back tonight and see it again. Everynight they change the genre. Tonight it was spanish. Last night we missed it but it had. American songs like ymca. Music from the 70s The next few nights the shows included. michael jackson performance. Amazing!! Mexican night with traditonal mexican clothes and dances International night. Had some bollywood dancing Broadway night. Was great had some hairspray, wicked, west side story. Numbers!

Benazuza is a 20+ course foodie experience that will approach everyday ingredients in a fun way…read more Benazuza is located in The Pyramid at the Grand Oasis, specifically inside of their casino area. If you are not staying at the hotel, be sure you tell the gate keeper that you are going to this restaurant when approaching the hotel. The workers will point you towards the restaurant. The hotel itself is beautiful, it feels like you are walking through an indoor plant nursery. The meal started off at the bar outside of the dining area, where reimagined cocktails are served before your meal. My party and I were served by Luis here who was the sweetest and thoughtful. Luis's cocktails set the expectations very high. Then you are moved to the dining area where you are offered a wine menu and the appetizers and entrees begin coming out. Each dish was explained and plated perfectly. They are small plates, not full plate coursed meals. I wish the cocktails were served at the end of the meal as the heavy sweetness factor did fill us up by the middle of the dinner, we were stuffed. If you are in cancun I believe that this is a necessary stop in your itinerary. For around 125USD per person you will have a classy dining experience. Email the restaurant beforehand to make a reservation, they're not the best with their communication but once you get a reservation, you have no worries. Get the bottle of wine with dinner- treat yoself.
