Mandarina and Umo has been one of our favorite spots on the island for years. The beachfront setting, fire pit, great music, and style perfectly compliment the delicious steaks and other plates.

Found it randomly, and it was the best decision of the night! Food and service were top notch and the live entertainment was spectacular. Special thanks to Kermith for making our night magical!

Was looking for a chill restaurant away from all the blaring music on the island and found exactly it. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and well portioned, the service was super attentive and everyone there made an effort to make our experience enjoyable. The violinist was the cherry on top! Highly recommend the whole grilled fish of the day and the leeks with salmon roe.

Fine cuisine, a mixed Mexican and Mediterranean chef designed menu. I loved the atmosphere with top notch service. We ordered provoletta on the grill, it was great, cilantro, garlic & olive oil. Mariposa fish was magnificent and Filet Fish on the grill was really good. Prepare to send 1,000/person.

We loved the beach club at Casa las Tortugas. The location is amazing, with a beautiful sunset view. There’s live music in the evening, and the food was really good too! If you’re looking for a slightly fancier spot on the island, this is the place to go.

We had two great dinners at this amazing venue! Very romantic, near the water, amazing view and such a beautiful place for dinner! The food was also very very good! A bit more pricey that other places but very good quality and taste! Also, veggie options for us such the cauliflower, ravioli and more. Thanks for having us!

During our trip through Mexico, we had some amazing food experiences, but this spot was definitely one of the highlights. The food was absolutely delicious, and the oceanfront view was straight-up stunning. But what really made the night special was the incredible service from Axel. His recommendations were on point, and he made sure we had an unforgettable dinner with his friendly, laid-back vibe. He was always smiling and genuinely cared about making our night feel special. Can’t wait to come back!
