This place is a nice escape from the noise of the Isla mall. It's in a corner away from the loud bars and blaring music. There was a fellow playing a sax when we were there that was very pleasant. There's an extensive menu focused on seafood. Everything we ordered was nicely presented and delicious. Service was prompt and courteous. read more

Sadly this restaurant let's this great country down by scamming their tourists. The food was decent but why do you need to play games and rip people off. The push to order appetizers and drinks, neither of which were on the menu was odd .... But when we got the bill WOW .... How do you charge more for guacamole than fajitas. The guacamole for the table was a whopping USD $28 (500 pesos)... Then the margarita was USD $21 (380 pesos)... To add insult to injury they automatically included a 20% TIP for service and handed me the machine with the screen asking for a 10, 15 or 20% tip. Needless to say they neglected to point out that a 20% tip was already included. This type of BS should be illegal. Why are these people allowed to rip off tourists with impunity. This is the only way I can fight back. I have also told our hotel to make certain to not recommend this restaurant and would ask those reading this far to do the same. read more

Bad experience with the bill- in pesos it was $990 they automatically added on a 20% tip so total $1188- tried to charge $1500 using machine - I questioned the total - waiter with charge card machine said it was "new" to him. Got the total corrected adding a 10% tip since our server screwed up the leftovers I wanted- and they charge you for a to go container. Sunset view blocked by building on top of this mess. read more

RIP OFF ARTISTS! They double dip in tips so be aware when paying. TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR BILL! The bill comes in Spanish with a lot of words, so hard to understand. They automatically add an 'excellent' charge to the food/drink total (1st rip off). Then when you pay with a credit card the machine asks you for a tip, at which point the waiter requested cash from us (2nd rip off) We didn't carry cash, so the waiter then hit 0 for a tip, on his hand held machine (which we found totally bizarre). We managed to scrounge up $20 dollars from the kids and gave it to the waiter (rip off #3). When you ask for a receipt they give you a total of what you charged, not itemized bill. We took a picture of the bill before we left and later in the hotel as we were going through it saw a charge of $21 for Guava margaritas, their special of the day, ok pricey, but what isn't nowadays but what got us was the Guacamole! They serve you chips then ask if you want guacamole to go with it, sure why not. We're guilty of not asking the price, but they charged us $28 US dollars!!!!!!! For guac! Food was pretty good but scummy business practices. Needless to say we will not be back. read more

This was the only place open before 11am at La Isla (the mall). We stopped in to have a beer and watch the water. They have a beautiful view, attentive staff and great decor. My only complaint- it was $13 US dollars for two Michelin Ultras before the tip. They had been $6 for two beers everywhere else. I want to come back here for a sunset, it had a great review of the lagoon. read more

Lighthouse Marina - Seafood Near Me - Cancún, ROO

We were delighted to find this place for lunch walking distance from our resort. A nice lady that was trying to attract customers gave us a coupon for a free guacamole appetizer or margarita. Since I was with the fam we opted for the guacamole which of course made fresh and was very generous. The margaritas were large, refreshing, and lifted our spirits. The food was very savory and satisfying. I really liked the cream of lobster soup served in a bread bowl. We enjoyed a great view of the lagoon and the mainland. The servers didn't speak English so I appreciated the opportunity to practice Spanish and they graciously corrected my errors. Highly recommend! read more

Would give them no stars if I could. I had the lighthouse fettuccine which tasted very poor overall, they did not comp the dish, only offered an alternative. Couldn't eat more than half of it. Others tried it and it was nauseating for them. A day later I had mild food poisoning, likely from the food at this restaurant. My family also believed that the service was very poor and there is a 20% surcharge for the service. They also take family photos and offer them to you at a whopping 600 pesos. Would not recommend this dining establishment. read more

When we were in Cancun, my mom wanted seafood so we went to this place that I consider a tourist location. I typically like to visit holding the walls because these prices are more on the tourist side. But we enjoyed nonetheless the food my mom was really happy with the service and the taste of the food quantity. It's nice to sit at the seaside and see the boats coming in and out. read more

Excellent food at very reasonable prices. Very wide menu to choose from. Have a gentleman performing while you eat. Offer open air seating and under roof. Very pleasant wait staff.

The over all experience was not a great to say the least. For the most part the food was good. But one our party members plate. The lighthouse pasta It was the worst pasta I think I have ever had. Not any good things to say about that pasta. The service was not the best either with an automatic 20 percent tip for the bill, Just because they did a small show to deliver half assed drinks. I would not recommend this place. read more

We were wandering around La Isla mall and Lighthouse Marina just stood out of the rest. The restaurant is conveniently located right at the boat dock and right there you can enjoy the beautiful sunset while enjoying your meals. We had the pina colada and strawberry margarita which were amazing. Shrimp in garlic sauce was yummy as well. the buttery shrimp was marinated and seasoned to perfection. We do recommend this restaurant if you're in the area. read more

400 dollars Switch up in pricing. Do not go. We were in complete shock when the bill came. We live in an exclusive area and are accustomed to paying for nice experience. This was our first meal upon arriving exhausted. We all chose carefully yet when bill came, price was far more than menu stated. Alcohol was so overpriced additionally. Avoid avoid. Ouch.

One of the best ceviches I've had, but I've only had a few in my life. Very tasty though. Got a few items cause i was hungry... enjoyed the red snapper fish, fried, (pay by gram), was really tasty especially the garlic butter sauce i dipped it in. Great service! The only thing that I was caught off guard was the tip that was already included... they run my Visa card and then my waiter didn't let me know till after probably because her lack of English speaking skills. I wanted to leave a good tip, but they took the responsibility of doing for me. Overall, I would come back, Enjoy! read more

Great atmosphere at the pier with view of the water. There was a saxophone musician playing to the music. We got small complimentary margaritas for a table of six. Seafood was fresh. There was a great photographer taking pictures for their customers wearing sombreros. We kindly decline and she did not push or try to sell , which i appreciated. Food was flavorful. A little salty for my liking. Menu was simple and mostly seafoods with some American dishes(pasta and hamburgers) read more

I have rarely in my life had a meal this bad. The food was basically inedible, and my wife (after having one bite) questioned whether or not the burger was actually beef or some other unknown meat. Overpriced too, with a basic lunch for two adults, two kids coming in at $90 USD. Only nice thing I can say is that the staff were friendly and hardworking. Avoid. You're far better off going next door to La Parilla. read more

Mediocre meal that was overpriced. The restaraunt seemed unclean and there was zero ambiance. Stay away!

Wow, what a change from 6 months ago. These guys are shysters. Draw you in with the offer of free stuff that we never got. The food quality is way down... and they add a 20%tip for the worst service. Never going back here. My advice is to stay away. read more

Overall 4 Stars food was GREAT and prices were awesome in USD. For 6 of us we spent $117. Drinks weren't the best as my frozen Margarita was watery (hence the 4 stars). The ambience is awesome as well, as it sits right on the marina. Augusto our waiter was real cool also. Great experience definitely a great place for dinner or lunch. read more

Food was not great and service was very pushy (I guess you can expect that). Make sure to check your check before paying - they added additional items on the bill and wasn't happy to remove them.

You have to walk past ALL of the coupon givers, tour sellers, and other pushy restaurant hosts to get to the Lighthouse. It's annoying, but learn to say no or shake your head and keep walking until you get here! (unless it is someone with a drink coupon for the Lighthouse....take that one...) Both times we went, Deyler was our waiter. Charming and fantastic. What more do you need in a server? Misael was also around and kept us laughing. Great staff here. The first night I got the fish tacos (the ones not actually listed under "tacos" on the menu. Very good. The next night (yeah, we went back the next night it was that good) I got the shrimp tacos. You can get them either fried or grilled. I went for grilled, put the chipotle-mayo sauce on them....so good! We also all shared the caramel crepe and the nutella crepe. Definitely worth the calories! Also worth the calories: the Golden Margaritas. My favorite margarita from anywhere during my week in Cancun. Before our meals came, they also brought a plate with cucumber and (I think...) jicama and the three sauces. A different kind of "appetizer". Light and good for you too! And you can't beat the view towards the sunset! read more

We were going towards the restaurant Nextdoor and a guy gave us a card for a free margarita so we went to look at their menu. Once we were looking at the menu the guy who gave us the card said he had spoken to the manager and that we were going to get free margaritas and lemonade for our entire party of 12. We were still undecided and looking at the menu and the server told us we would get to free guacamoles on top of the free margaritas. We fell like suckers since the offer sounded so good. Well the margaritas were tiny and overfilled with ice. Maybe three solid sips of tequila mixed with lime and water. The guacamole was good but definitely not enough for two people let alone 12. Then the server sold us a parillada claiming it had 2lbs of shrimp 2lbs of lobster 2lbs of octopus 2lbs of every meat on the darn thing. Yet when the parillada arrived it was not enough for four people as they priced it and sold it to us. It was a SUPER tiny tray with old overcooked/burnt seafood that made us sick. I regret eating it but we were so hungry. Three of us got diarrhea less than an hour after ingesting the food there. DON'T COME HERE! read more

Had dinner here on a cool night near the fashion harbour mall. We ordered the steak fajitas, which was recommended by our server, and enjoyed them. The portion was quite large and the steak was tender. Their guacamole was good too, nice large chunks of avocado. We also had fresh grilled fish that was seasoned well, nice and flaky. Then we had two tortadas. The octopus one was great but the marlin was way too salty for us. We also liked their complimentary nachos. The restaurant wasn't cheap, but I don't think any of the restaurants in that area are. All the seating is outdoor and you are right next to the waterfront. Our server was attentive and he made a good recommendation for us which was appreciative. read more

The restaurant is located on the backside of the large mall on Hotel Row, so you have to walk through all the gift shops to get there. The view is fantastic overlooking the water. Honestly, upon arrival we weren't impressed. The view was great, but the restaurant was empty at 7:30p on a Saturday evening and it has a heavy 'touristy' feel. We had a group of 9 spanning ages of 7-64, so a lot of different types of people to please. This isn't a Mexican restaurant, so don't expect chips and salsa on the table (that bummed me out, but it was forgiven once I realized I chose a seafood restaurant not a Mexican restaurant). The following meals/items were ordered... Shrimp fajitas Chicken fajitas Veggie burrito Chicken burrito Chicken nachos Seafood fettuccine Chicken fingers Pescadillas Chicken tacos Across the board the food was good. Fajitas were well done, so the peppers and onions were great. The burritos were full and flavorful. The seafood fettuccine looked great and was devoured before I could get a pic or a taste. Pescadillas were a little thin on volume, but very flavorful. It was pretty hot, so everybody went with water or beer which kept the bill down. We had a 10% discount, so after tip it was $13/person. When we left, we all agreed that upon sitting down we thought we had made a poor choice. The restaurant just feels like a tourist trap (i.e. Over priced bad food). However, we all agreed that we would come back for the good food and prices. read more

Great meal. Deceptive practices. Waitress quoted 1 price (1/3 of actual price) for catch of the day, and I asked to be sure. She even showed me on the calculator. She delayed bringing the bill. I believe it was because she knew what she had done. When the bill came, it was triple the price. She then lied and showed the new price on her calculator. Another waiter came and said maybe she didn't understand. I explained that she was lying. They did not care. They take advantage of tourists, and the gratuity is included. Be warned! read more

The most amazing restaurant in La Isla! I'm sad I found so late during trip. It would have been my daily lunch.

We were looking for a great seafood place close to our resort in Cancun and decided to try this place. While a little hard to find, (it's at the end of a bunch of shops) the food and view were worth it. We ordered the salmon (delicious) and the whole fish with garlic (amazing). Our waiter, Gabriel, who is mentioned in another post was charming, friendly and very helpful. We sat right on the boardwalk and the views we're unbeatable. read more

When in Cancun (at least 1x annually for last 5 years) always eat at the marina. Our favorite place, Baby Lobster wasn't open (anymore?). COVID may have killed the business. So we ate, here, one of the 3 water facing places on the marina. They basically serve all of the same type food. Food and service was good. Food and drink prices must have gone up since we've been here last because our bill was way higher than expected given what we ate and drank. However, businesses here are struggling so understandable. read more

Very fresh and tasty food. Prices were the best we found. They gave the best exchange rate for US $. And I had a huge fried fish which was awesome. Just see the pics. They start you off with this hicima (sp?) and cucumber mix with various sauces. It was refreshing even though my husband and I don't like those vegetables. Service was great and we got a table overlooking the lagoon which was nice. I highly recommend this place for a meal for sure. read more

This restaurant is located on the edge of the shopping center 'la isla', but it is absolutely not to be missed. The people lure you in, just like any other, but they continue with the amazing service that you would expect. With each meal they serve chips and some fun dipping sauces. The chips are actually crispy (not so much at other places). This place (as with many others) has a drink deal. Buy 2 for the price of one (on most drinks). The best part is, it's not the dinky half size that you get free at other places. The coconut shrimp is HUGE and delicious. We didn't care too much for the mango sauce, but used the chip sauces and amazing pico instead. We got the breaded fish tacos and it was heaven. We left extremely full and happy! One thing, they hadn't added the tax to our meal so it was hand written afterward, which seemed a bit odd. Then if you're using a card, you have to select the tip while the waiter is standing next to you on the card machine. Overall, great service and probably best food in la isla! read more
