Beautiful ambiance for a restaurant located in a mall. Each table is a separate straw hit. Food is delicious! From Chicago and eaten a lot of good Thai food - this was definitely above average. Had spring rolls, satay, chicken curry, pad Thai and pork dish - all very good. read more

You can see Dolphins if you're sitting at the bar. read more

First time having Thai in Cancun and the experience was beyond disappointing. . The portions were extremely small and the food quality was below average. I'm never dinning here plus the service was horrible. One more thing if your an animal activist don't pay a visit to this Restaurant. They have real Dolphins swimming in a small aquarium swimming in circles! Lost my appetite. Paying $2,150.00 for miniature portions was a mistake. Never again. read more

if you want a place that has a great view then this is it. the food is ok, not much to brag about. the portions are so so considering it is a tapas place. overall i would rate this place as a 3.5 star. only one good tip is to go before the sun goes down because the view suck at night read more

Amazing surrounds, right on the water , dolphins swimming behind the bar, convienet if you are already in the mall. Small serving size .

great food. great atmosphere, though could have done without the noise coming from the dolphin show being held at the aquarium next door. loved the cabana style seating and the privacy. had the lamb chops which were the best ever! read more

Thai Restaurant - alligator friend - Thai Near Me - Cancún, ROO

Very Yummy thai food! The Concierge at my hotel recommended that my party of 4 eat here for dinner, and set up a reservation for us. This is a hard to find Thai place in the La Isla shopping mall, and this restaurant is only open for dinner. When we went for our reservation, we were taken to a private hut overlooking the lagoon. The server gave us tropical drinks and mosquito spray. We ordered 4 plates. I cannot remember what precisely we ordered, but I do remember ordering a couple of chicken plates and a couple of noodle plates. The servers were friendly and spoke English, and the food was good. Really good. So why 3 stars? The cost. Be prepared to shell out a lot of money. With tip included, our bill was 1600 to 1800 pesos, which is well over $100. In conclusion, this restaurant is not to be missed, but only if you can afford it. read more

Had a very bad experience with item containing peanuts that did not have peanuts listed on menu as an ingredient. Before ordering, also asked waiter and he told us item did not contain peanuts. Spoke with Manager next day and he said they would be fixing menu and making other improvements. Please be wary if you have a life threatening allergy and dine here. read more

Tom kha soup and the lobster are out of this world! The ambiance of Thai is phenomenal, if you can get at hut on the water it is awesome, but honestly don't feel bad if you don't because all the tables are very cool in their own way! Definitely recommend! read more

If you're concerned about some of the poor reviews regarding service or portion size, don't be. We went on a Wednesday at 7 with no reservations and were seated immediately. We got pad Thai, a curry dish, and pineapple fried rice. The rice was absolutely delicious, perfectly balanced with tons of flavor and the rice was cooked just right. Pad Thai was also very good, again, tons of flavor, noodles were solid. Only complaint was the shrimp which were overcooked but it wasn't a dealbreaker. The curry stole the show, absolutely fantastic. Wish it had more heat, but they will bring you pepper flakes or chili sauce to add more spice if you want it. Service- no complaints though it wasn't terribly busy when we went. Ambiance- outstanding, there are several different zones you can be in but ours felt like we were eating in the middle of a jungle. Super secluded and a nice respite after the crowds in the hotel zone. Overall if you like Thai, or just want to step out of the craziness of the strip, highly recommended. read more

Definitely the WORST restaurant I've even been to. The server didn't even open the bottle of water for us, not to mention arranging knives and forks. Having dinner in this restaurant simply ruined my mood of enjoying vacation in Cancun. read more

Ambiance is a 5 . This restaurant in an upscale shopping center waterside. The taste and spice was authentic and good . The portions were very small, think individual definitely not to enough to share and each person would want 2 or more dishes for a meal . The beer was warm it came in an ice bucket and and 25 min later was getting cold . Even the bottled water was individual size ,not big enough to share. Service was good and mosquitos were ferocious. Four people nine small dishes 5 small beers 200 usd . We have eaten Thai all over the world and have never had such a discrepancy in value for dollar or warm beer read more

This place is something different, for starting it has an awesome view, it's literally on the lake, everything about it is amazing, some tables are like islands with a bridge to get there. Then there's the music, it just blend perfectly into the mix. The attention is perfect, Mexicans have vocation for service, waitress are super polite and they all speak English. The food is just amazing, I went two times, and the food was just incredible. Totally recommended, I'd go farther and say you can not go to Cancun and miss this place. read more

Hands down, the most romantic restaurant I have ever been to. The lighting, music, mood, everything. Sitting in the high top bungalow made us feel like kings and queens looking over the restaurant and the water. Not to mention the food was stellar! I recommend going at dusk or at night for the full romantic feel. read more

Thai Restaurant - Sitting on the high top bungalow. So romantic! - Thai Near Me - Cancún, ROO

Food was mediocre. We've had way better and more authentic Thai food back in California, this place is a gimmick and food was very commercial. If you enjoy it, you have not had real authentic Thai food. Drinks were pretty good, but we're definitely skimped on the liquor, tasted like half pours. We were told the restaurant was owned by a Thai man and he brought workers over from Thailand. The only person that was Thai was the lady that served us. Food and drinks are WAY WAY over priced. They're also scammers, they used white out on the original printed receipt to hide the total amount and include the tip, below it said additional tip optional, which is not the case because it is already included. It is near impossible to see because you are literally eating and sitting in the dark, she uses a flashlight to show the receipt but you can out see through it when it is on the table. Lift the receipt and you can see exactly what they white out. They try to get tourists and visitors to tip twice which is ethically wrong in my opinion, so beware and read your receipt!! When she explained the bill she even stated this is a recommended tip but didn't let us know it was already included. I almost tipped an additional cash tip, but luckily I'm very thorough and always double check my expenses and what I am being charged. Overall food was mediocre, drinks were skimped, service of staff was decent, they will try to scam you into leaving a double tip. The one star I gave was merely for the location and ambiance of the place considering it's a little hut right on the lagoon. My advice, stick with tacos and ceviché! You are in Cancun after all. read more

Behind a very touristy shopping area. The food was fine, but it's all about the ambiance. If you can, try to eat in one of the treehouses. Right when you walk in they are on the left. Private little beds that you can order food and see a giant glass wall behind the bar where dolphins swim by! It's surreal. Check it out. read more

The location overlooking the bay is perfect, with the exception of a few rogue mosquitoes. Very realistic island atmosphere. Our waiter even showed us one of the resident crocodiles. I'm not as much into Thai food as many of my friends, but I did like everything I tried. I would have a hard time justifying the high price on the food alone, but the overall experience was definitely worth it. read more

This is the most amazing Thai restaurant I've ever been to. Between the ambiance, service, and food this is the best place I've been to.

Place and ambiance are nice but for wine lovers like me the list is very basic and way overpriced. Service is slow and food is regular - I have had better Thai food in the US. read more

I'm not quite sure what people are complaining about here. Went to this restaurant last night and thought it had the best Thai food I've tasted in my life. By the way, I'm from California too by way of Los Angeles, so I don't buy that "we have better Thai food!" crap. The food is amazing, the service is amazing, the drinks definitely lacked alcohol, hence the 4 starts instead of 5. This is the first top notch quality restaurant we've been to here. It tops our list, even beating out the local Mexican joints. Go figure. read more

Let's start with food. It is NOT authentic Thai food, I had Yum Nuea to start and it was missing a lot of key ingredients. We also had boneless chicken wings with Thai chilli sauce which was okay, nothing to shout about. For our main course we had a fried fish fillet with tamarind sauce, the fish was good, tasted fresh, sauce was a bit too thick with too much cornstarch. Service was fair, we ordered Margarita straight up but bartender didn't know how to make it, we had to guide him. And each drink was 120 peso, it was not worth it. The bar decor was tacky and with poor decoration, the hut on the water was nice but lots of mosquitos, I had to asked for mosquito repellent. But the manager seemed to think that it's not a big deal. Ladies pls think of Zika! Do not recommend unless u r really craving for Asian food. read more

Amazing setting in private huts along the lagoon. Very romantic. Food and service were great and an amazing bar that backs up to the aquarium so you see the dolphins swim by. Highly recommend! read more

Not sure why Yelp calls this place as "Thai" , but it is better known as La Elefanta, and mainly serves Indian cuisine. We were in Cancun for a vacation, and heard about this place through TripAdvisor and decided to check it out. Man, we were delighted with it. The place offers amazing Indian food, served in an awe-dropping ambient environment. We had the malai kababs, which were so juicy and succulent. We had the paneer chops and lababdar chicken for entrees,both of which were delicious. We had the kulfi for dessert, and we weren't too happy with it, tasted a little more like plain ice-cream. Always ask for a table by the lagoon. We were so lucky, to spot a crocodile moving just 5 feet next to us in the lagoon, immediately we called the server to confirm if it indeed was a croc, server brought fliashlights and got the attention of the entire restaurant. Little kids were running around trying to spot it, haha! Made our meal more enjoyable I would say. :) Overall, I recommend this place to anyone who loves Indian cuisine. read more

We had been referred to Thai Lounge by some close friends who spoke very highly of the restaurant. I'm happy to report that the restaurant not only delivered, but exceeded our expectations! It was simply amazing! From the personal hut, to the excellent service, to the quality food, this is a MUST when looking for places to eat in Cancun! read more

Surprisingly great Thai food in Cancún. Green curry is super delicious. Extra points for the cool tables that are out on the water, and for the crocodiles that are literally within arm's reach. Our waiter fed the 8 footer my lobster shell after bussing our table, much to our amusement. I probably should have been terrified, but liquid courage does wonders. read more

Well. We were really excited to have Thai. The place is beautiful but the portion size was ridiculous for the cost. I had Pad Thai and it was a tiny, tiny portion. Probably, about the size of a deck of cards and cost $17. Really? Noodles and some spices. The shrimp in the dish were the tiny little shrimp. Another person in our party had shrimp in her dish as well and they weren't the tiny shrimp. Who knows? I wish I would have read some of the reviews on here before coming here to eat. Then they charged $6 for a bottle of water. If you are looking for authentic Thai, this is not the place. It wasn't terrible but it is way overpriced! They also put the tip on the bill. Their loss. We usually tip 20% but they added 15% to the bill. read more

Come to Thai for decent meal. Told that Pad Thai shown in menu is APPETIZER not entree for $286 Mex. Told the size was cut down after Mexican high season was over after Easter vacations. Appetizer for $15 US is ridiculous. Nice location for on the water. Food NOT worth the exorbitant price. Never again read more

This is possibly one of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever been to. If you go for the 6pm or 8pm seatings you can sit in a private hut over the water. As the sun goes down these wonderful red lanterns start to glow. It would be a very romantic date spot for us if we didnt have our two kids with us! I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it probably isn't the best thai food Ive ever had. The lemongrass soup with the shrimp was great but the rest was simply good not great. read more

We sat by the water and the view/service was amazing. Food was good too! Had the lamb and chicken satay!

This is a great little Thai place tucked behind the aquarium sitting on the bay. Really nicely setup, especially for dinner. Try to get reservations for the bungalows that sit above the water. Great candle light ambiance. Food is really good as are the drinks. My only issue was how overpriced the food was. Twice what I'd pay back in SF. read more

The restaurant is quite hidden, each table has its own booth, there are a few booths are on the water which is very nice. Service is good , but I think the food is ok. The pad Thai we ordered was good, the rest dishes were all too salty. But to be honest, most of food here in cancun were too salty. read more

Pretty good Thai food, great service. Ambience was amazing! Pad Thai was delicious! Sarika chicken dish was pretty good! If you order any apps I would suggest the Pohpia Thod (Fried spring rolls) - mmmmm delicious! Overall I had great time here, the service is phenomenal, the food was pretty good and I would definitely recommend. read more

I've never written a yelp review but tonight's experience warrants one. My whole family and I reserved a private bungalow over the water for our dinner. It was great being out over the water. The restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived at 6:30. The staff were all laughing and joking around and seemed to only get serious when they spoke to us. We ordered two appetizers and four entrees for the four of us to share. After about 25 minutes we received our appetizers and they were okay but tiny. Each of us had maybe two bites of each dish. Our plates were nicely cleared and we waited for our entrees. One of the entrees came out about 20 minutes later and again it was okay but small. They proceeded to take our plates and remove our placemats when we were done. We continued to tell them we had more good coming but the language barrier left us ignored. Once we spoke to them, we found out they forgot about the other three entrees. After about 20 more minutes they brought out our last three entrees which were even smaller then our appetizers. Our waiter was so embarrassed he didn't even return to our table. After we finished, we were completely over the entire experience. As we waited for the check, which felt like an hour, we checked out the bathrooms and found them mosquito infested. We were determined to get past the experience but as we got the check which costed about $110 USD, a waiter who we'd never even seen before proceeded to directly ask us for a 20% tip. We said yes in the moment but we're shocked by this. I've never been somewhere we're a waiter would directly ask for a tip, especially a 20% tip after awful service. Stay away from this place. It's full of overpriced tiny dishes served by people who seem to not even care. The one star is for the view. That was actually nice. read more

Went here on a whim for dinner while walking around. We were kindly seated in a little hut over the water, which was awesome. Tried some Mexican wines and had some egg rolls for an appetizer. I had #55, which was jasmine rice with chicken, shrimp, cashews, and pineapples in a yellow-ish curry sauce (not spicy). My boyfriend had #43, green chicken curry (he said it was really good and was made with coconut). We had a #91 for dessert, it was basically fried ice cream (really tasty!). Definitely enjoyed the experience, watching the sunset over the water. Nice relaxing dinner locale. read more

Have dinner in Cancun right on the waterfront! This is part of a triad of restaurants: a Thai one, a Japanese one, and an Indian on. They're all fantastic and with a beautiful scene both during the day and at night. The service is outstanding, very attentive, and the food was above average. We had amazing cocktails (tangerine and coconut martinis), curry, and delicious naan to go with it. Once you get there, you won't know which of the 3 restaurants to pick, you'll have to come back! read more

Extraordinary dinner. Appetizers were good, but main dishes is where this place really surprised me (for Mexican Thai). The Yellow Coconut Curry was the stand out dish. Pad Thai was also very good. Dense noodles, but very flavorful with the chef not holding back on the fish sauce. Gorgeous atmosphere. Not something I expected at a restaurant in a mall. I will be going back next time in Cancun read more

Amazing experience! We had reservations but did not get lucky enough to get on one of the huts in the water; however, the amazing staff accommodated for a place on the water before another reservation showed up. We dined in the hut and had dessert w the dolphins (a must in Cancun). read more

What a great place! The food was tasty. The environment was fun and comfortable. There were two of us and we sat outside in hut which was what we saw around us. We were on a couch with a table to eat on. Very relaxed. The service was very attentive. I've found that service trails off when it's time for the check but that seems normal in Cancun. I would definitely go back. read more
