It was more of just 'what can I dislike the most.' Everything was just average at best and the size of the buffet was just much smaller than I expected. Also, I was really excited to try their peanut butter & jelly 'flavor of the month' ice cream, but when I got it, we all agreed that it tasted most almondy than PB&J. (as 2 days later was a new month, I saw that that month they had changed the flavor of the month to almond honey so clearly I unknowingly just got an early preview of the next month's flavor). I've heard that on other times this place is an actual restaurant. I wish we had tried it in that format so we could try most made to order items as I would hope they'd be better. While the food was disappointing, the wait staff was absolutely fantastic. They were so helpful and just so joyous. They were constantly joking around with us, helped turn some of our coffees in to a fantastic alcoholic drink, and just being so pleasant to our kids. They were really the stars of the meal. If we were to find ourselves here again, we'd absolutely avoid it if it was their buffet but would also absolutely try it if it was the actual restaurant format. The setting is nice, the interiors are inviting and warm, and I just want to trust these other reviews of people have positively given.

To come degree, there seems to have been some misunderstanding in our communication. Nevertheless, the overall the timely service and taste of the food was fine. Nothing to write home about.

We only had seven nights in Cancun and we chose to return here to eat a second time during this trip.

Both nights we had something different and enjoyed all of the dishes Immensely. Don't forget to try the tableside guacamole, prepared by your waiter. Unlike many other Mexican style restaurants in Cancun, or anywhere else, this food is very authentic and the tastes are superb. Don't miss this if you have the opportunity.

I will say, right off the bat, this place is loud if you're hear during peak meal time. While the mariachi band was a nice added touch, it only exacerbated the already loud dining experience. If you're looking for a quiet, romantic meal, this isn't the place for you. But if you're ok speaking up a bit throughout the meal, do not pass on this restaurant. I opted to try things that I wouldn't easily find at a restaurant, even in Los Angeles where I live. That meant I tried an aztec corn soup for my appetizer (it tasted like liquid corn bread and I say that as a compliment) and then for my main I tried a Molcajete Mixto. It was absolutely amazing. The best way I could explain it is a Mexican bibimbap. Each of the 3 types of meats were grilled perfectly, the special cheese was mild, but had a really great texture to it. The bits of cactus were cooked to perfection where they were soft, but with just the right amount of bite to it. I gobbled that dish up so quickly and considered asking if I could have another one. If I wasn't already stuffed I absolutely would have. It was probably the single best dish I had the entire week I was in Cancun. I've now made it my quest to find somewhere near me where I can get something even remotely comparable. I also appreciate that they had 'kid cocktails.' All 3 of my boys felt so adult sipping on their special mocktails. Our wait staff was a tad out of sorts, they would often say they were going to grab something for us (i.e. a high chair) and then completely dissapear. In the case of the high chair we just ended up finding one ourselves. But I think this issue stemmed from them just being so busy and slightly overstaffed. When they were with us, they were nothing short of fantastic. Honestly, if I ever return to Cancun, I will absolutely be returning here. It was that good. It makes getting the all inclusive package worthwhile. I will, however, avoid going on mariachi night.

It's pretty hidden so be sure to look for the Marina Sunrise sign ( see in my pictures). You walk upstairs and through a Starbucks pop up store/convenience store and then back down to the patio. Very small area but all tables have a gorgeous view of the water and if you get there at opening time (8am) like I did, you get to see the guys getting the rental boats ready for a fun day out on the water. This place is sooo inexpensive and really tasty! If you're looking for a break from the overpriced hotel breakfasts, this is your place. For 90 pesos ( roughly $4 USD) you get your choice of eggs, meat, OJ, coffee. That's a serious bargain. I mixed it up and got scrambled eggs with chorizo and got Grapefruit instead of OJ and opted out of coffee since it was already so hot outside. They also provide delicious tortillas. Totally worth every penny and more! Back home a basic breakfast like this would have run me close to $17, so it was nice to get a break for breakfast not costing you as much as other meals. Worth coming by and enjoying a peaceful traditional breakfast.

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.

This has to be one of the biggest bargains in the hotel zone. Service was superb! I would say the majority of those attending the brunch were not guests in the hotel. There was literally something for everyone. You could have omelets, pancakes, waffles or crepes. They had carved prime rib. They had a taco and quesadilla station. There was an area for vegetarians. There was a pastries area. There was a dessert table. And bottomless Chandon mimosas were included! Roll me out of there! I very much enjoyed the prime rib, which they were happy to cook a little more, if you didn't want raw. It was excellent! I saved room for the flan at the end! It's my favorite dessert in Mexico. In the next month, if I am again in Mexico on a Sunday, I will definitely return here for Sunday brunch!

It happened to be closed on the night we planned to eat there, which was frustrating. Honestly, I wish the resort would provide a schedule at check-in showing which restaurants are open and closed each night. We ran into that issue with more than one restaurant during our trip. For breakfast, Siete is very much a traditional buffet. There's a large selection, but some of the breads and pastries sit out in the open and can get stale pretty quickly. The omelet stations were one of the better features. They have two of them, which helps keep the lines moving, and there are a ton of toppings to choose from. The omelets were pretty good, although like most omelet bars, they were slightly overcooked. The standout part of breakfast was the fresh fruit and smoothie station. I believe the gentleman working there was named Marco, and he was awesome. He made our smoothies three different mornings and was always energetic, friendly, and happy to help people figure out what flavors would work well together. They had an impressive selection of ingredients too, including things like prickly pear, aloe vera, and other fruits and vegetables you don't normally see at a breakfast buffet. They also have cereal, meats, a Bloody Mary station, and plenty of other breakfast options, so there's something for just about everyone. Service overall was just okay, but the hostesses were really nice and welcoming. Not the most amazing breakfast buffet I've ever had, but it was a solid option each morning, and Marco alone made the experience a lot more enjoyable. I would definitely eat breakfast here again.

Siete offers the BEST breakfast buffet ever…read more The best part of the buffet was the fresh omelet and smoothie station. Since when do you ever see a fresh smoothie station at a hotel/resort buffet? Shout out to Marco the only staff member at Live Aqua that left an impression on me for being the most genuinely cheerful guy ever. He will concoct something for you if are indecisive and it always comes out great. Very unique ingredients are available to curate your drink ie. cactus, dragon fruit, star fruit, passion fruit. He makes it a show out of making the smoothie too- all the ingredients he uses is always enough for 1 glass with no waste! They have the best fresh juice station as well- papaya, cantaloupe, watermelon-- all so smooth with no pulp. Fresh fruits, so many pastries, churro & chocolate fountain station, Mexican coffee, Mexican breakfast foods- there's something for everyone. Mimosas are also available! Their dinner offerings were lackluster and not that memorable comparable to their breakfast service. Since the size of the Siete was more spacious than their other restaurants, service is also a lot more slower than usual. Would highly recommend dining at Siete for dinner on their Mexican Festivity night at Live Aqua (was on Thursday) the week we were there- they have live music and performance.
