We stayed at the Westin and dined here on two occasions. One night, we ordered from the dinner menu--steak and a seafood pasta--both of which were delicious. I requested my steak medium, but it arrived medium rare. That was fine, as I enjoy both. Great service! However, the complimentary bread was very dry and bland. We also returned for the themed taco night. Although it was more expensive, the buffet offered a wide selection, and everything we tried was excellent. We especially loved the desserts--particularly the macaroons. Again, the bread was dry. The evening featured a mariachi band and dancers, which added a lively and festive atmosphere. We loved it! Oh and a piñata for the kids.
The wheat toast with eggs and guacamole was disappointing the bread looked toasted but was soggy and low quality. My daughter's "plain" Greek yogurt wasn't cold and tasted sweet instead of tangy. The server seemed rushed and unwelcoming. Not a great first breakfast experience, and we won't be eating here again.
3.5 rounded up because the servers were friendly, there was live music, we had beautiful views at the end of the patio, and the overall value of the meal Came here for steak night (now on Thursdays). For this current experience you order one piece of meat and then get unlimited access to the buffet for the sides, salads, two soups, and a collection of bread & desserts for $700 pesos per person. For the amount of food we got and overall quality, this was a terrific first night dinner at the resort. I got the top sirloin, ordered rare but came out medium well. Still pretty good seasoning and fat trim and I hate wasting food by sending it back so not ideal but great enough. My partner got the Angus loin. A nice thick cut of meat, he ordered his medium rare but it was more rare. Did not have much of a flavor outside the meat itself which was again, very good but not the best. The meats came with three sauces: rosemary, mushroom gravy, and chimichurri. Here's where I had high expectations from other reviews but think the actual flavors fell short. Very mediocre, out-of-a-packet gravy and oil+parsley for the chimichurri. The sides were extensive. Nothing blew me away as a I have to have again but i thoroughly enjoyed them all. Couscous salad, bountiful build your own salad bar, corn chowder which was very butter heavy (i mean, i like it but that was a prominent flavor, several versions of potatoes (one with bacon!), and lots of rolls. Dessert was me and ok. I liked trying all the small bites. Favorite was the tart de limon. With blueberry macaron as a second. We had live music from a man playing an acoustic guitar and thought it was so good. A lot of Santana, Josh Groban, etc. That and watching the colors change as the sun went away was incredible. So overall, great time. Would do again for ~$50 per person.
Great food option if you're staying in the Westin Lagunamar. We were there for steak night, and also had breakfast there on a couple mornings. Steak night was actually really good and the sauces were great. The chimichurri and the balsamic were especially good. We liked the side buffet that you can get while you're waiting for the steak, good options. The breakfast buffet was really good. We liked the regular american breakfast options and also the mexican options. The standout for my wife was the amazing hot chocolate.
We stayed at the Westin for a week in Feb 2018. We ate at Oceano about every morning for their breakfast buffet. We also ate here for the regular dinner once, the Mayan Night, and the Steak Night. Breakfast buffet: pretty good and if you are an owner you get 20% off so it was around $20 USD for all you can eat and unlimited mimosas and bloody Mary's. They also have juices at the buffet that are good- try the green one! You can also order made to order omelettes, eggs, Mexican breakfast dishes, etc. Coffee and other beverages are included as well. Dinner menu: you also can get the owner discount here. The dishes were HUGE and really good. We tried salads, soups, entrees and dessert. I got a chicken dish with a whitish sauce with fruit and nuts in the rice- very tasty. The asparagus soup was good too. My boyfriend got one of the salads for an appetizer and it was huge- could have been a meal. My mom got the filet and it was very big and she loved it. For dessert I did the ice cream which was also good. Mayan Night- this is really more about the show. I enjoyed the show, the dinner to me was ok. My boyfriend loved the food though. The dinner is buffet style. No drinks included. No discounts. Steak Night- you get to choose a steak and then the rest is the buffet. No drinks included. This was OK. I got the ribeye and I regretted it. The filet is huge and the ribeye in comparison doesn't look as good. The ribeye was very thin. The buffet part was pretty good though. No discounts. The servers at this restaurant are always very nice and accommodating! Sometimes it's slow getting a server's help, especially on the special dinner nights, but otherwise no complaints.
We were staying at the Westin Lagunamar and Oceano is the breakfast and dinner restaurant on site. It is also the pricey one.... We ate here first for breakfast on our first morning before we had gone food shopping. I got the breakfast burrito. It was delicious and filling. But I am not sure if it was anything *really* special.... Our second meal was the real stand out. The Mexican buffet on Monday night. This is the bomb dot com. HIGHLY recommend. It is pricier. One set price and the only thing they serve that night. We also got a bottle of wine for the table to share. There is an overwhelming amount of food. A fresh pork taco bar, soups, salads, cold dishes, traditional Mexican dishes, and dessert. SO. MANY. DESSERTS. Om nom nom nom! Wow. I had to stop myself from continuing to eat! My favorites from the dinner were the salbutes, the pork tacos, and the tres leches cake! Starting around 7pm, they also had a mariachi band walking around the dining area and playing. Fun! When we go back to Lagunamar (I certainly hope we go back!) I hope we do the Mexican buffet dinner again!
This place had an amazing atmosphere for tourists. A buffet that had such a large variety of food for people looking for "something new." My wife and I are from LA and eat Mexican Food frequently but haven't found tender Barbacoa and corn and Chiles like this before. Also they had a live mariachi band that plays every Monday starting at 7:00PM!

The Mexican/Mayan theme night at the hotel restaurant was absolutely incredible! The show was so entertaining and beautifully done, our kids were completely captivated the entire time, which made the experience even more special for us as parents. The energy, music, dancing, and performances really brought the whole night to life and created such a fun atmosphere. The food was served buffet style and there was truly something for everyone. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and delicious, with a great variety of options for both adults and kids. This ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. A perfect mix of great food, culture, entertainment, and family fun all in one evening! Highly recommend experiencing it while staying at the hotel read more
This is the main restaurant at Westin Lagunamar Vacation Club. Since it is not an all inclusive resort, guests have options to eat at other nearby restaurants. However, we found that for the price this restaurant does a very good job with the service, food, and entertainment. Prices are consistent with other hotel restaurants, especially for the buffet. However, considering the food quality and service it is within reason. The best value are some of dinner theme nights. We have gone to Mayan Night this year. Last year we went to the Seafood on the Beach night. However, I found that for Taco night the prices were too high. Since you can go an across the street at La Isla for more than half the price. Not only is the food fresh and tasty, the service is excellent. When I asked our main waiter what is Mayan food, he took me to the buffet and explained which foods are traditionally Mayan and how they were historically prepared. There were other foods that were more Mexican than Mayan and though delicious wasn't what I was looking to experience that night. As I wandered around the buffet area trying to determine what I was going to eat, more than 1 server asked if they could help me. I just couldn't decide since there were a lot of food options. For families with big appetites, the buffet nights are a deal. It's also an experience with the entertainment. I enjoyed both Mayan night and Seafood night because of them. The entertainment is consistent with those you find at other high end establishments that we have paid more than double the prices. Last year the fire show on the beach was fantastic. This year the Mayan performers were equally entertaining. We were seated very close to the entertainers which was a big plus. What Oceano is lacking is modern decor to compete with the new swanky restaurants that have been opening up in the hotel zone area. The vibe of the restaurant is hotel breakfast cafe, and not high end restaurant. Very small bar. However, with just a few updates and extending the patio to more an indoor outdoor dining with newer chairs, they maybe able to attract more customers. read more

We were in Cancun a couple weeks ago for the 8th year at the Westin lagunamar. The Oceano Restaurant always been the best to have your Breakfast, or Dinners. They now specialize with Wednesday night Steak night and Saturday night Mayan Night with Mayan dance show. If you vacation there you gotta eat at the Oceano. I cannot write more than what others have already written in their reviews. Read all the reviews and see how special this restaurant is and the Westin Lagunamar is the best. read more
Very disappointed. I visited Oceano because it is a part of the Westin resort where I vacationed. The menu was very limited. I visited this restaurant on 3 occasions to give them a chance to prove me wrong. Service was hot and cold. Some moments the service was great. Other moments absolutely terrible. From being overlooked when waiting for seating (walking right by my guest and I without speaking and assisting someone who came in after me) to cold food that was supposed to be cooked fresh to order. A few times, I sent my meal back and it still came back out wrong. I spoke with another couple and they mentioned that they were given the wrong check on a few instances. The last straw for me was when I checked out of the hotel and found out I was double billed for one of my meals. It took 15 minutes to get the issue resolved at the front desk. Even though the front desk staff was awesome, the guest should not have to encounter an extensive wait while getting an issue resolved. I won't return to this restaurant on my next visit. read more
Ate here twice once for the buffet breakfast and once again for Mexican night. The food both times was delicious and consistent. The buffet was clean and the food was always warm. The variety being that it is a buffet was great, there was everything from traditional American breakfast to Mexican cuisine. read more

The servers are very friendly, and the buffet breakfast & dinners are good. The ala carte menu is good but pricey, however you get what you pay for. The churros con chocolate was really good during Mexican fiesta nights. After an extremely hard tour of the Mayan ruins, it's a great place to tuck-in. We would definitely come back again in the future! read more

Must do list:Oceano restaurant for an authentic Yucatán dinner. Our waiter Jonas Soriano and manager, Victor SantaMaria were very knowledgeable and gave us excellent advice and service on both the wines and food. On arrival at the Westin Lagunamar Resort, the staff should recommend this on site restaurant instead of the many offsite choices. Go on a non-theme night and try the authentic Yucatán menu! read more
