This restaurant is amazing! The location and decor is perfect, so beautiful. The staff was very kind, respectful and quick. The bread with cilantro butter was delicious and I really loved my salmon entree as well. The pineapple dessert was well worth it! I felt the prices were appropriate for the setting. I would return to Cancun just for this restaurant alone
I'm impressed!!!! Don't miss the experience of dining in Navíos. Everything is sooooo good. This Navíos is just a 10-minute walk from Westin Resort... but that 10-minute is worth every steps! The service is superb from receptionist to the waiters. You can tell that the waiters love what they're doing and all help each other. This place is by the lagoon so every table is a picture-taking location. But be careful of the crocodilo... of course, it's by the lagoon. The place itself is clean.. and the lagoon is clear water too. Now the food... it's as simple as, I can dine in this place everyday! It's not that expensive but the presentation, the service and the taste is like a 5-star fine dining restaurant. Even the drinks! I ordered their clam chowder (you can see in the attached video on how they served it), lobster tail wrapped with bacon, my hubby ordered salad (which was also excellent presentation), and steak. Let's not forget the chips that is on the house with 3 different taste buds sauces... tamarind (sweet), avocado (salty) and chipotle (spicy). Love love love! I should say, your visit in Cancun is not complete without visiting this excellent restaurant!
Pulled up to Navíos in Cancúr ike a man ready to make serious life decisions. mostly about seafood Started with the coconut shrimp-so good I almost called my ex just to tell her she lost Then their famous margarita hit me with that "bro, you're on vacation" energy Main event: Pescado Frito--a whole deep-fried red snapper lookina at me like it wanted smoke. I dominated the plate... and immediately realized it was the best dish I've ever had in my life Fresh tortillas made in-house too. At this point, I was emotionally invested, Sunset on the laqoon? 10/10. Would move in if thev let me.
If you come to Cancun, and are in the resort circuit area on the peninsula, you need to try navios. It's a hidden spot that overlooks the lagoon side of the area. The restaurant is located on the water and has a very island feel to it. You can either sit inside or on the water in a private hut. Which i definitely recommend. First off the prices here are awesome. We had about 10 entrees, drinks and desserts and paid $300 US. Would've been way more back home! 2nd is the food. I tried the chile garlic white fish which was amazing. Tasted very fresh. The rice had great flavor but was a little dry, but overall a great dish. My wife tried the ribeye which was great. Cooked perfect and good portion. We also tried the octopus which was good as well. 3rd is the drinks. The mojito and the Jamaica margarita were amazing. Lastly the service is awesome! So friendly and they did a really cool birthday surprise for my wife! Overall a great place. Has an upscale feel to it without all the fancy stuff you usually deal with at a steakhouse or fine dining restaurant. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area.
Came for Christmas Day dinner. All the seating offers amazing views. Food lived up to the hype of other reviews. Calm relaxed atmosphere. Waiters were attentive. The seafood is fresh. Prawns were large. My husband's tuna steak had amazing Asian flare flavor. They even have kids plates of chicken fingers or fish fingers, again homemade. We loved our cocktails-Mai Thai; Margarita. Prices I felt were really reasonable for fresh seafood. If you want Palapa seating on the deck they recommend reservation. If you look closely you might even find an iguana running around.
One more time Navios gets my 5 stars. The cocktails are innovative. The service A plus.... The environment is close to be in heaven... Ava the service expectations. Gabriel did an excellent job. Not only gave us recommendation but offered a great experience..
Amazing meal with stunning backdrop and impressive, immersive scenery. I cannot convey how stunning and elegant this restaurant is. After 4 days of boring all inclusive hotel food Navios really shown through with its mastery of seafood and beautifully plated dishes. The beef carpaccio came on an enormous plate and was delectable, just the right amount of saltiness and the added Parmesan worked great as a pairing. The grilled octopus was easy to cut, like butter, so fresh and tasty not at all rubbery or overcooked. The sweet potato garnish was delicious. The lobster tacos were really good as well, could really taste the chunks of lobster. Get the pineapple crème brûlée, it was the most delicious crème brûlée I have ever had, the presentation was fantastic, and the dessert could feed like 5 people.
We enjoyed Navios so much that we came here two nights in a row! TL;DR - This restaurant offers charming waterside vibes that are both elegant and romantic during sunset. The seafood is fresh, service is on point, and the prices aren't too crazy. I really enjoyed the atmosphere here as it was a cool evening with a warm breeze during sunset. We put on bugspray after reading other Yelp reviews, so happily didn't get bitten. On both days we ordered fish and steak, along with a couple drinks. The food wasn't mind-blowing but it was indeed tasty. The cocktails weren't very strong but were quite aesthetic. We didn't have to wait very long either, so felt good about the efficiency of service. All in all a solid 4/5 stars! Come here for a date night or ritzy night out, and don't forget to come before sunset!
I reaaallly wanted to love this place, as it was well dated and the space is actually so pretty. But the food... it was a miss. The octopus seafood entree was better than ok, but slightly overcooked. The salad was great. Everything else was really overcooked. Ceviche was super rubbery and chewy - almost like Laffy Taffy, if you know what that is. Everyone who tried it agreed it was pretty bad. Service was ok; they were a bit pushy about ordering whole bottles of wine and extra drinks, which we didn't cave into. :) The best thing about this place is definitely the cute outdoor space. Come for the ambience, not necessarily the food.
This venue has the best dinning view especially around sunset. Reservations is needed as it's a popular venue for dinner due to its location but tasty food and service as well. Nothing disappoints here. Gabriel was awesome with taking care of us. Especially with nut allergies they were very careful to handle cross contamination. We had the fried snapper in garlic and man it was SO good. This was recommended by the manager and surely didn't disappoint. It was marinated in lime and garlic and was extremely flavorful. We also had a the tuna steak with veggie and it was seared to perfection. We stopped by here twice. Guava cheesecake was interesting it was tangy but good. Wasn't my favorite but I ate it . Venue is clean, everyone here is awesome. Highly recommend this place.
The service was amazing! They were super busy when we went for dinner but they kept full attention on us and kept checking on us constantly. Really appreciate that!! The atmosphere was very relaxed and enjoyable. Not too dark but not too much light...I personally liked it very much! There was a young lady playing beautifully violin when we first got in. Our food came out in less than 20 minutes and each item was delicious! We enjoyed our time and meal here & would definitely go back.
Great seafood and cocktails, recommend making a reservation around 6:30pm for the best experience. Ambiance is very cool, especially at night when the location morphs into a lighted Oasis.
Navíos was nothing short of amazing! 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! read more

What a nice restaurant with great views. Service is top notch. The food and drinks were all amazing. Fairly priced and great portion size. Can't wait to come back next vacation. read more
When we planned a return trip to Cancun, Navíos was at the top of our list! As always, the service was impeccable. Alberto took great care of us. The weather was beautiful, so we were able to sit outdoors. I ordered the coconut shrimp, and it came out in a coconut shell! That meal has lived rent free in my mind ever sense. I tried a bite of my mom's meal and husband's meal, and both were absolutely delicious. Portion sizes were generous. read more

Pedimos las tostadas de atún, el ceviche verde y el filete de tuna. Las tostadas y el ceviche estuvieron buenos pero el filete de atún dejó mucho que desear. Las verduras parecían de paquete congelado y no tenían nada de condimento. El filete tampoco tenía mucho read more
I was greeted and shown to my table. Beautiful views as most of the seating is on the socks overlooking the beautiful sunset. The waitstaff was not as attentive as the other places I've been out here. However, the food was so delicious! I enjoyed the truffle risotto which was shrimp and Scallops over a bowl of cheesy truffle risotto. They did acknowledge that I was celebrating my birthday and sang. It ended better than it started. read more
We ate here tonight. We are staying close by so it was just a short walk for us. I made a 6:00 reservation so we could watch the sunset. The atmosphere was really nice. We had a table out on the furthest pier. The service was alright. There was some initial confusion in taking our order, or more specifically not taking it but taking our menus away. So getting an order in took a while. Once we did though, the food came out quickly. We are nondrinkers and they do have an NA beer here, Heineken 0.0 I had the lobster tacos and my BF had coconut shrimp. Both were good. We didn't have dessert but did order two cappuccinos which I wouldn't recommend doing. They were barely warm and almost entirely milk. We always have coffee after dinner at home and we shouldn't have tried to pull that here lol. The bill was $1600 pesos, or roughly $80 US. A nice evening on the water though for sure. read more

06/24/24 While attending wedding in Cancun we decided to try Mexican seafood restaurant off the property. What an amazing property from the walkway to restaurant. It has a chic, romantic air with the dim lights. There are section where you can sit on the deck above the water. A bit scary as there is a crocodile/alligator that's lives in the water. (Couldn't remember which one). Staff is amazing. Food and drinks pretty good. Would definitely recommend evening to enjoy the sunset. read more
The best meal I have ever had in Mexico and probably a top 10 overall dinning experience. Recognition to our waiter Quinto who was fantastic, and the entire friendly staff. Restaurant sits just off the harbor with beautiful views, and is a giant Tiki, but this is the most exotic tiki I have ever had the please of dinning at. The food was of course equal to the views and service with everything we had on multiple days being spectacular! read more

This place is AMAZING.!!! Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and cocktails. Our waiter Kito was super friendly and attentive. 10 out of 10. read more
It had just stormed hard, so not many were out dining. We braved the wet street, and I was pleasantly surprised with this gem on our side of the hotel strip. Our hotel isn't central to the shopping or the main hotel area and we are luckily to have this so close. The ground and beautiful, and the service that evening was great as they weren't busy due to the rain that just ended. Everyone enjoyed their food, and I'll be back for the lychee martini!! read more

The food, service, and ambiance were all as advertised. This was our third time staying at Sun Palace (across the street) and finally made it to Navios. We will definitely make this a must do for every trip to Cancun. read more

Went for a mini trip to Cancun from Tulum and stopped by this restaurant which is located on a river. The ambiance is nice and cute with outdoor and indoor seating. 10/10 We stopped here for a quick bite in the afternoon I've heard it's pretty during sunset but we had to leave Cancun before that time. First we were served complimentary banana chips with three dips: a habanero garlic oil, tamarind sauce, and avocado sauce which was the best out of all three. The chips were very tasty but I didn't understand the concept of habanero garlic oil and tamarind sauce with those chips. 7/10 We ordered fish ceviche, fire shrimp, and lychee martini. The martini was refreshing and light. 10/10 The fish ceviche was average and so was the fire shrimp. 5/10 The service was excellent 10/10 the whole place was clean and had a refreshing scent even though it was on a river that can have mosquitoes and some odor but it was well maintained and the bathrooms were very clean too they were a bit small but were clean. It costed us $75 USD and we found that very expensive and not worth it. If I want to have a few drinks with a nice sunset view I might go here when I'm in Cancun but I did not find the food worth eating at all with the high cost. read more

we enjoyed this place. The lobster tacos were delicious. You get a fair amount of lobster The service was nice, and all of the staff were very friendly. The place itself is set on the water and perfect for a good sunset day. I recommend finding a reservation before the sunsets. There is parking, but it is very limited. The red bus will let you off near here and it's close to a few resorts, depending on where you're staying worth the walk if you're close enough. read more

My friend and I had a delightful last dinner here at NAVIOS, which was only made better by the wonderful service from Carlos and Juan. Carlos and Juan took great care of us and made this last meal so memorable. They offered great recommendations and generally provided good service. The restaurant is ridiculously beautiful - it sits on the water and I would love to come back during the day or for sunset (maybe next time I come to Cancun). We got the Navios ceviche and the whole fried hogfish. Both were so good and the menu is full of really interesting things that I would love to work my way through and sample. The hogfish (boquinete) was so well seasoned and a great portion to share for two. We also got complimentary bread with cilantro butter and another spread I can't remember but was also fun and interesting. I am generally skeptical of expensive places in the Hotel Zone but this meal was very much worth it and I would absolutely come back again. Thanks Carlos and Juan! read more

Beautiful restaurant right over the lagoon. Loved the private seating for 2 on the bridges with lights hanging above. They had a violinist playing while we ate which really added to the beautiful ambiance. The service was great. Carlos and William made sure we were taken care of. Both were very attentive and friendly. We were celebrating my husbands birthday and the greeted us with tamarindo margaritas and then at the end of the night surprised him with a dessert and fun serenade with a traditional Spanish birthday song. The food was also very good. So many seafood options. We started off with a navíos ceviche and cava salad, both were very good. Nice combination of flavors. For our main course we shared the seafood grill. It was delicious and very generous. We could not finish all of the food. Great place for a special occasion. You will not be disappointed read more
Didn't eat all day so came here for a late afternoon snack. This place is by the backwaters, so can't really beat that. It's almost an exclusively sea food only place, so if you like Mexican food, and see food and want some fusion come here. Both the cocktails we ordered were great. I got the spicy margarita and my wife got the spicy mezcalita. The margarita had a completely different flavor than I'm used to. Had a bit of a curry tinge TBH; loved it. The mezcalita was spicy and tamarindi. read more
