We wanted something other than Mexican food, so when we realized there was a tapas/paella place in…read moreTulum, we decided to come for dinner. We stopped by on a Tuesday evening around 7:30 and it was hopping. The restaurant is two levels and has indoor and outdoor seating both. We were seated outside next to the street. We started off the meal with complimentary bread, which was amazing as we were starving from a long bike ride earlier. The menu has a good selection of tapas as well as a couple different types of paella. For the paella, the minimum size they can make is for two people. We tried: Tortilla de patatas (110 pesos) - we enjoyed this Chistorra i.e. grilled Spanish sausage (95 pesos) - too salty, had to eat it with the croquetas to make it more palatable Croquetas de setas (95 pesos) - was okay but had a weird / slightly sweet aftertaste I didn't like Paella de montana (230 pesos pp) - chicken paella was good. I wish there was slightly less chicken and more rice I'd say the paella was the best part of the meal. The tapas were a bit hit or miss. But overall it's a cute restaurant with decent food, and we enjoyed our experience here.

Service is great and the restaurant really makes you feel like you are in Spain again. They have…read moreoutdoor seating right by the street. The kitchen is open so you can peer in to see your food cooking. We ordered the seafood paella which takes about 40 mins to cook at about 250 pp and you can only order this with a minimum of 2 people. So I would suggest to order first and the other stuff can be ordered later. Seafood paella was subpar because the rice was burnt, not charred. but considering we were in Mexico - it was a nice taste. We loved the pulpo appetizer though - it was soft and had some great flavors. The people are genuine and they don't attempt to scam you. So we were happy about that!

The most convenient lunch option at the JW is the poolside restaurant, the Beachwalk Cafe. The…read morestaff is incredibly friendly and take great care of you, regardless of where you decide to sit. The food is average at best and by far the worst on the property, but people don't mind. The prices are reasonable and it's comparing apples to oranges when looking at the nicer restaurants. It's hard to complain when you're being delivered food in your lounger by the pool. Throughout my stay, I tried a variety of options with the turkey club being my favorite. The fries always showed up a tad soggy in each dish. The quesadilla and nachos were both very basic. The veggies were a refreshing snack to enjoy by the pool. The cocktails were all delicious as well. Overall, you don't have many lunch options on property so this is what everyone is doing.

We were sitting by the pool and decided to be completely decadent, so instead of walking 10-15 feet…read moreto the Cafe, we ordered poolside. The food still comes from the Cafe, but there are servers who will bring your food to you in case you are too lazy to get up. That was us. The wife had the shrimp cocktail and really liked it. The shrimp was fresh and the cocktail sauce had a nice kick. I had the JW burger because I was in the mood for something plain. I was not expecting much because, honestly, how many times has anyone gotten good poolside food? But I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meat and it was quite sizable, probably half a pound. The bacon was good quality and cooked to crisp. The lettuce and tomato were good, the cheddar was good, everything about that burger was good. I had the Cajun chips and they were good. I think the burger was about $15-16 USD but it was worth it. I would definitely eat here again and maybe next time I will get up from my poolside seat and walk a few feet to sit at the Cafe (which overlooks the pools).

Benazuza is a 20+ course foodie experience that will approach everyday ingredients in a fun way…read more Benazuza is located in The Pyramid at the Grand Oasis, specifically inside of their casino area. If you are not staying at the hotel, be sure you tell the gate keeper that you are going to this restaurant when approaching the hotel. The workers will point you towards the restaurant. The hotel itself is beautiful, it feels like you are walking through an indoor plant nursery. The meal started off at the bar outside of the dining area, where reimagined cocktails are served before your meal. My party and I were served by Luis here who was the sweetest and thoughtful. Luis's cocktails set the expectations very high. Then you are moved to the dining area where you are offered a wine menu and the appetizers and entrees begin coming out. Each dish was explained and plated perfectly. They are small plates, not full plate coursed meals. I wish the cocktails were served at the end of the meal as the heavy sweetness factor did fill us up by the middle of the dinner, we were stuffed. If you are in cancun I believe that this is a necessary stop in your itinerary. For around 125USD per person you will have a classy dining experience. Email the restaurant beforehand to make a reservation, they're not the best with their communication but once you get a reservation, you have no worries. Get the bottle of wine with dinner- treat yoself.

Once we stepped onto the deck overlooking the lagoon, the whole experience elevated even further. The scenery was stunning, soft lights reflecting off the water, a gentle breeze, and live music drifting through the air like the perfect soundtrack to an already unforgettable night. Then came the food, each dish was its own little masterpiece. The bread service alone set the tone: warm, golden rolls with just the right touch off salt. The wedge salad followed. It was crisp, cold, and generously dressed, with smoky bacon and bright tomatoes adding all the right contrasts. The dry-aged steak was the star of the table, cooked perfectly with that deep, rich flavor only dry-aging can create. The roasted peppers and silky sauce on the side made every bite feel intentional. The octopus was another standout, tender, beautifully charred, and plated with a vibrant puree that balanced the dish with a touch of sweetness. One of the best plates we had. The table got more entrees since there were 8 of us but didn't get pictures. Sea brass was another favorite. Even the lobster soup arrived with flair: a velvety bowl paired with a seafood-topped toast that brought texture and richness together in one elegant bite. The beef tartare with fries was classic and fresh, refined without losing its fun. Dessert turned into a full performance. The liquid-nitrogen ice cream came with swirling clouds of cold vapor, dramatic and delicious. The birthday cake arrived crowned with berries and a sparkling candle that lit up the whole table. And just when we thought the night couldn't get any more whimsical, out came the towering blue cotton candy, playful, over-the-top, and impossible not to smile at. Harry's doesn't just serve dinner. It creates an experience, one where the service, the scenery, the atmosphere, and the food all work together to make you feel celebrated. Our night felt luxurious, thoughtful, and truly unforgettable for my husband's 50th birthday! Well done Harry's!

Easily found along the pool side. Seating is very limited, but I think it's because people have the option to order from there and take or serve to the beach areas where everyone spends their time mostly. We tried their famous Coco Loco cocktail. It was served in a huge coconut ball, and it was delicious! The other cocktail was served in a pineapple and that was super delicious too! We definitely enjoyed it for quite awhile on the beach while we relaxed and did absolutely nothing but enjoying the weather, the sun, the sand, the amazingly warm ocean breeze! We didn't have a chance to order food from here, but overlooking other's plates, it looked and smelled delicious! We can't wait to return to this beautiful place again soon!

When I saw the woman in the window carving entire Iberico Ham legs, I knew I had to wait for my husband to arrive to eat here. We had a small tapas lunch here, consisting of tomato bread, three different jamons, croquettas, olives, cheese, and some salami. Sadly, not drinking, so we didn't get to wash it down with any rioja :( Service was quite good and very attentive. They were enthusiastic about their jamon options, and even have packages of it to go.
