We absolutely loved Marbella. Our family enjoyed a giant lobster, crab legs and oysters. Our toddler had a perfect seat provided and he enjoyed very good spaghetti w/ marinara. The drinks were lovely as was the wait staff - no negatives from our point of view. read more

Talk about a restaurant with an incredible view. This place is just off the road as you trek around La Isla Mujeres in your rented golf cart. It's a beach front restaurant with a gorgeous dock, handing swings, and plenty of seating with a view. Great selection of beers and cocktails and if the drink is not on the menu, they will make it for you. Seafood is fresh and served in great portions. You order your choices by the kilo so you can really customize and taste a few things. The octopus was the best thing we had - just super flavourful with the Mexican chilies that it was seasoned with. The oysters were huge - just plump suckers and very fresh. Lobsters are live and you pick them yourself. The waiter brings the live lobsters to your table for you to select. After lunch, take plunge in the beach which is only a few meters away. You can eat light, go to the beach, eat some more and then just drink and chill. There is a huge dock netting out into the water - great place to relax and take pics if you want. Best part - they have full bathrooms and showers for you to get washed up before you go. It was a overall great experience and since we visit Isla Mujeres often, we will be back. read more

Perfect food excellent service. We stated on the Isla twice already and stoped for lunch and dinner Highly recommend

Beautiful setting but incredibly overpriced. For a 2 person portion of "Caribbean rice" with shrimp we paid about 35 dollars.. I could get that in LA for less than 10. I could also get a lobster tail for 5 on sale at stater bros. It was painful to pay such a high price.. good to know what you're getting into with this place read more

By far our most favorite beach restaurant/club. The fresh shrimp with house chili garlic marinade was to die for. The cocktails were the best on the Island. Staff were attentive but not over bearing. If you buy drinks and food you can enjoy their beach loungers, view and shallow water. Avoid lunch when some of the party boats come in, but paradise the rest of the time! We went several times during our one week stay on Isla. A must do!! read more

If you are looking for a nice dinner on the beach, this is not the place for you. The music is very loud where you cannot even hear the guests at the table, very drunk people all around due to it being a beach club, and the restaurant is filled with smoke due to allowing people to smoke anywhere. The food was okay and very expensive. We had 4 glasses of water, guacamole (which was surprising not good), and two fish dishes for $2,000 pesos. The atmosphere and customer service was the best parts about this place. read more

Disappointed. Came around 7:30 to find only one small red snapper and many snook. Ordered pulpo as appetizer(nothing extraordinary). Asked about the fish and was told there was only one fish left(he neglected to mention that we should order the fish when we first ordered the appetizer. 2 glasses of mediocre Chardonnay , a small fish, and the octopus. Waiter was ok but lacked good service skills. He was irked when I left him a 10% tip. I thought I was being generous considering the quality of the service. Overpriced and overrated. A big meh. read more

So we ate there two time on this vacation. Both times we ended up just getting the oysters. We were going to order the yellowtail snapper wasn't available. It's a really nice looking place. Lots of waiters so you never have to wait for anything. I wish we would have tried more that we did. We had chargrilled oysters the first night and the second night had rockafeller. Both were equally good. read more

Wonderful food, incredible views, and an accommodating staff!!! I would have to agree with previous review that this is the BEST restaurant on the island read more

Food was fantastic! We ordered the lobster for two and it came out just perfect. We are seafood junkies from Seattle and I was impressed. The only reason they don't get the 5th star is because of the mosquitos that we had to deal with! read more

One of the newer restaurants in Isla Mujeres, but soon to be everyone's go to for THE freshest seafood, and the friendliest, most accommodating staff! The only negative, is you have to go early, to avoid the possibility that they might decide to close early that evening, but even when that happens, it doesn't change the fact that they are a 5 star joint!! I have never been disappointed by their drinks, food, or service. read more

This is a little fancier than the other places we tried on the island. The service is great, food is fresh but it lacks a little flavor. Left a little to be desired after eating but it's a nice restaurant with a wonder view. read more

The meal was amazing, traditional cuisine. Beautiful scenery and great great service!

Amazing ceviche! Can't wait to return soon! The service was impeccable. They made a mixed plate just for us. read more

The view is beautiful. I'm shocked that more reviewers don't state that you aren't have NO IDEA what you will be charged for your meal. We thought the lobster and crab were overcooked an mediocre at best. The cerviche was delicious and the only thing we really enjoyed. As a couple of others have stated, we also only tipped 10% because both the food and the service were not that great...just because you have people standing around your tables everywhere, doesn't make you have great service. But after we tipped, the manager came back to the table and demanded that we increase the amount of the tip; as to not cause much a scene, we increased another 5%. This is highly unusual and very unprofessional for any person to do - a tip is a tip - it is decided by the customer. If it is not, then state on your menu a mandatory gratuity of 20% is added to your bill. We are regular visitors to Isla and we scratch our heads why this would be a top restaurant on the island (or still here at all) when there are much better options. read more

The food was good but seems pricey for the area. On the plus side, the beach and atmosphere were fabulous. Bathrooms are clean. We didn't love the cocktails - and the margaritas were poor compared to others close by. read more

Alright, the seafood might be fresh but get ready to be scammed and upsold. They don't have a menu, just a board with seafood priced by weight. This requires a lot of trust in your servers judgment in order to get the correct portions. We were a table of 4 and our server sold us enough food to easily feed 8 hungry people (and we are definitely not light eaters). But here is the real kicker. The "house specialty" is seafood fried rice (arroz caribeño), into which they sneak a $1200 mxn lobster tail, which we didn't even realize we had eaten (not to mention the fact that we got the SMALL version of this dish). This is NOT on the board, but for obvious reasons they recommend this dish above all others with no mention of the pricey chunks of lobster that are lost in the seafood mix. I never write bad reviews for restaurants but this is an obvious scam, so I would like to give a heads up to anyone planning on eating there. With the extreme ambiguity of the entire nonexistent menu, I'm sure this is not the only dish where this kind of shady biz is going down. The food was fine but this type of injustice should be enough to keep you away, and there are many other great seafood restaurants on the island where you won't have this problem. read more
