Here is the copy of the receipt I was referring to. I hope his manager sees this and speaks to him about it!
Dee Y.

My Mom and I had stopped to have dinner there on May 14th for my birthday at 745p, because the website said it closed at 9p. When we arrived we were told it closed at 730p. We decided to return on May 15th, because the restaurant came highly recommended. We were one of the first customers for the day, ~1pm. We were quickly sat and our server was very attentive. He attempted to up-sell us on everything we chose. We wanted simple guacamole and chips to start and he said "no, no, you must try this" as he pointed to an appetizer which was 4 tostadas with guacomole and shrimp ceviche on top. So we agreed, but we also wanted to try another appetizer. He said "yes, no problem. you get smaller size, together on same plate." I confirmed that it was like a sampler plate of the 2 items. "Si, si" he said. The items came out and were on 2 separate platters, 4 items in each, which were the regular large size of the items. The prices were very reasonable, so we didn't say anything. Next we ordered bottles of water. He said "oh no, special today. Special today, mojito, very good." I said we would take 1 with alcohol and 1 without, because my Mom doesn't drink. "Ok, no problem" he said. We ordered a couple more smaller items to try and everything was very good and very fresh. The reason I did not give 5 stars is because just because we are tourists, he (the server) tried to screw us on the bill. First, he charged us for 2 full appetizers, after telling us they would be smaller sizes and on same platter like sampler. Second, he charged us for 2 Bacardi Rum Mojitos, when I only had one with rum and one virgin one. Third, he wrote on the bill that the total was $75 in US, which included an $18.89-20.80 tip for himself on a $54-56 bill. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! He was attentive, but he was a snake!! He saw me looking at the bill and came over and pointed to the total of 982 pesos and said "total without tip" and then at the 1200 pesos that he HAND WROTE on my copy of bill and said "total with tip." Then he pointed to the total he wrote in US, and said "US dollar ok. This one" and pointed to the $75. That is when I started calculating things on my phone, because 1200 pesos does NOT equal $75. It equals $66.11-68.57(depending on exchange rate used 17.5%-18.1%). That is when I questioned the mojitos and he said "Oh sorry, same same." I figured out the bill to be $54.10-$56.11 US (982/17.5-18.15). Their system figured it out with a 17.5 exchange rate and put the USD total was $56.11 on bottom of receipt. Either way, there was no way I was paying the server another $18-20 for a tip! Honestly, if he did what he said and charged us correctly, I would have easily tipped a $20, because the food and service were that good, but the fact they want to scam a tourist, just because we are a tourist, is WRONG!!. I ended up paying the 982 pesos and tipped him 15% on that which was an additional 147 pesos ($8-8.40-depending on exchange rate used). I then asked to keep the yellow receipt and he said "no no" and tried to grab it. I then said in Spanish, "Can I speak to a manager?" Then he allowed me to take it and said "ok, no problem." So, watch out tourists!! It is great food and I would love to go back, but I was very turned off by how it all ended.

Delicious and authentic Mexican seafood restaurant overlooking the laguna. If you want beautiful…read morescenery, high quality seafood, and a less-touristy atmosphere in the hotel zone, check this place out! Waiters speak Spanish and English, are very friendly, and absolutely no wait for the waterfront table. The shrimp ceviche had so many shrimp with a tasty sweet sauce and avocado garnish. Guacamole was perfectly prepared, and all meals come with tortilla chips and a variety of salsas on a decorative boat tray. The tuna steak and Salmon with Lime Sauce were prepared perfectly and were both tasty and high quality. Sadly, the food was so delicious and filling we had no room to try the desserts. About a block away from the Isla Mall, but a much more authentic experience than the mall restaurants. A must-try dinner spot for seafood lovers in the Cancun hotel zone.

Awesome. Nothing new for Cancún eats on Hotels Kukulcán…read moreBlvd. Totally dug the wide variety of fresh selections sitting at this gorgeous beachfront locale. From varying tortas, quesadillas, & burritos; to seafood risotto's & shiny tuna steaks.. (get the Camarones à la Mexicana). (Needs to get the Octopus off menu; cmon.) Check out the outdoor cabana-style comfortable seating area next to the joyful boat dock. Service is quick, efficient, extremely friendly, and informed.. as expected ;)

Navíos was nothing short of amazing!…read more My big baby and I went on our first (of many) vacation to Cancun. While there we picked three nice restaurants to try and Navíos was one of them. Ambiance is gorgeous. On the bay, this gorgeous restaurant is sexy and giving out door classy if that makes sense. Customer service was outstanding and the servers were super friendly. My big baby doesn't speak a lick of Spanish and they spoke English which was great. For all you non Spanish speaking people, have no fear they speak English too. Loved the Alligator sign as it did make the visit exciting, I really wanted to see one come near us but no luck as those visitors are night time party animals. Let's get into it! We are in Mexico where chips and salsa are complimentary! They were so good and the salsas were delicious. Who needs a real app when you have these! Shrimp Alfredo - It was good! Fish of the day - (native to the waters from there) He loved it! Dessert- We passed! Being on the bay there are tons of mosquitoes. We had to make a fast break to our hotel. Although the food was good we would likely never choose a restaurant with outdoor seating as this proved to be a bit of a challenge. They did have off which helped. The only thing I like biting me while on a lovely vacay is my lover! No bueno to the mosquitoes. Side note: No stars off! The place is gorgeous and food was great!

There is parking right by it, but it only can hold 10 cars maybe? We lucked out and found a spot. VERY IMPORTANT, they only accept cash so make sure you have cash. They take pesos and dollars. You walk down stairs to enter the restaurant and it is very inviting and over looks the water. Apparently you can frequently see crocodiles in the water. We were not so lucky. At the advice of our friend and the waiter we got several of the Pescadillas (fried fish tacos). The waiter explained that the fish was actually shark. The tacos are 28 pesos each, we each got 3. And they were delicious, we also ordered the Shrimp with garlic mojo. The shrimp was sooo good, as is in the name, it is very garlicky but very good. Just bring some gum. Taking into consideration the ambiance, food, and cost. This was one of the best restaurants we have visited during our stay. We'll be back.

It's huge, as far as presentation it's not very fancy, it was tasty but as large as it was you'd think it had more alcohol to offset the size. But it did not. My wife ordered the aguachile with octopus. I ordered the Tuna Burger, and we got the steak quesadillas as an appetizer. My wife said she would give her aguachile a 3.8 out of 5. I thought the tuna burger was very tasty. Basically they took a tuna steak and put it between a hamburger bun. I can't really compare it to a regular meat burger. But on a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 7. It came only with lettuce and tomato, but it had flavor enough. The quesadilla's were good, but nothing special, I'd say they were comparable to any you get at an average Mexican restaurant in the states. We came here because of the high ratings. Maybe we ordered the wrong things to try, I thought everything was good, but nothing that was so good it made me want to hurry back.
