Whilst spending 8 days in Puerto Aventuras we tried many of the best restaurants. There are many good options but, standing out far and above the rest, was Pelican Point. After being warmly welcomed by Guillermo, the host and owner, he brought refreshments and proceeded to explain the fresh fare and preparation. He is extremely knowledgeable and entertaining and left us, mouths watering, wanting one of everything. We started with the delicious Caesar Salad for two, made tableside. Next we had two of the three fresh catch entrees, Wahoo and Grouper. These dishes, prepared as recommended by Guillermo, were exceptional. There were also excellent shellfish and meat / poultry choices on his extensive menu. Excellent bar with a great wine and cocktail selection. The restaurant is in a beautiful setting. Great ambience with marina views. Highly recommend Pelican Point as one of your finest dinner choices in PA!

Wonderful fish of the day

This was the most delicious meal I've ever had. Service was exceptional. I would recommend this restaurant.

Mexican sushi, a lot of rice!

Ok Yelpers going to an uber romantic restaurant by yourself is no fun. I feel like Steve Martin in the movie The Lonely Guy. But, I must say it's worth it. Sadly since Yelp doesn't have halfsies I must rate this place with five stars, but for the area, it strongly deserves five stars. As everything near by is just so-so. Pelican point oozes romance, I fell in love with myself all over again. The ambiance here is a 10. I wanted to sit at the bar, it was just me, however, the manager insisted since it was such a beautiful night, I should sit outside and enjoy the Mexican evening. Service is outstanding, they are on the ball and extend themselves to your every need. I started with a cactus salad, it was outstanding, and plated beautifully. Then I jumped into a surf n turf. Now it wasn't they best surf n turf in the world, or that I ever had, but it was good. And, certainly for the area it was a solid 4. Again service will blow you away. It should be noted that yes you can get more for less, a lot less, but here you are paying for ambiance, service. Pelican point was spot on.

First - never met a nicer wait staff. They treated us like royalty and even laughed at some of my dumb jokes. A gentleman I believed to be the owner came out and chatted with us and was simply awesome. I have zero complaints about the staff Now - the food: it was like Luby's, but dry and flavorless. For US$200+ for 2 people, I'd have rather gone to Taco Paco and spent the rest on makin out with a dolphin.

This place is somewhat hidden...a bit pricy but the food is amazing so it's worth it. It's without a doubt the nicest restaurant in the area.

Capricho salad. Wonderful.

The mommy shrimp was one of the richest dishes ever with bacon wrapped shrimp and Gorgonzola sauce.

At first I was unimpressed, but good things come in small packages and this is a great thing. Taco…read morePaco is a quick service restaurant but, it has great service that's for sure. Initially the menu items didn't throw me I didn't want fried shrimp I'm not a big fried shrimp fan, I didn't want ceviche I want to tacos. I had to acquiesce and get the shrimp and coconut taco. I also got The fish ceviche tostada. These items were amazing. And, I mean amazing. I thought it would be shrimp with coconut flakes on a taco, no it was not it was battered shrimp with coconut better deep-fried and then put on a tortilla and as simple as it was it was amazing. The fish ceviche was equally good and refreshing I couldn't say anything bad about it tasted exactly like I thought it would and it was beautiful looking. The service at taco Paco was equally as good they were kind of fast and efficient. Although I do miss the traditional Carnitas taco and taco la lingua I really enjoyed my fried shrimp tacos. As they were the best fried shrimp I've ever had.

Absolutely yummy! Very small, clean, outdoor seating only. We stayed at a nearby resort in Puerto…read moreAventuras and walked (about 20 minutes by foot) out of the property to this tasty spot. The special was Coconut Shrimp or Fish (note: there are only fish options available any day) My husband and I both had the Coconut Shrimp tacos. Battered and fried to order and two large pieces of shrimp per taco. Homemade hot sauces range from 'sweet and spicy to super hot', cabbage cole slaw, pickled onions and jalapeños with mango serve as your toppings. A must visit for local eats! Cash Only! Hours during our visit 10-5pm
