“Puerto Aventuras in its part of the Canals and docks is quite well maintained, clean and with a variety of shops and restaurants.Highly recommended to spend a few days of rest or if you are thinking of a place for a long season or retirement.“

“An absolutely amazing little eatery right in the heart of delightful, beautiful Puerto Aventuras. Located in the Marina Commerciale restaurant and entertainment district just a few minutes walk from the fantastic beach at the Puerto Aventuras Beach Club this Restaurante 081 (cero ocho uno) offers amazing, brilliant creations and well-executed, fantastically presented favourites that are sure to surprise and satisfy even the most discriminating palate. During our stay here we’ve eaten at 081 multiple times, and will likely head back several more times before we leave. The thin-crust neopolitan-style pizza is absolutely brilliant and the best we’ve had here while on vacation (and we’ve tried them all), the salmon-stuffed ravioli is a revelation, the calamari and camarones appetizer, an old favourite, is here served with panache and flair, elevating it tremendously. The seared salmon? Perfect! And the croquetas de papa y hamon, delicious. I could go on and on… the tuna tartare, the ceviche mixto, the hamburgesa classico, the vegan tacos el pastor… I don’t think you can honestly go wrong. Coupled with a selection of delicious, refreshing beverages (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and juices, and decadent and inventive desserts (the pan de elote (house-made cornbread with caramel, vanilla ice cream and popcorn) veritably sings), you will not be disappointed. We found lunch-service to be a tad slow, but attribute that more to the unexpected nature of a large party attending the restaurant shortly after opening rather than a systemic issue as other times the service time was quite acceptable. The staff are informative, efficient, pleasant and responsive to any requests for substitutions or dietary requirements, and are always ready to provide excellent suggestions. Wonderful - highly recommended and a must-visit.

Vegetarian options: A number of delicious and creative vegan and vegetarian options are clearly and identifiably offered throughout the menu.

Dietary restrictions: The staff are extremely responsive and flexible when it comes to specific dietary restrictions, ingredient substitutions or requirement.

Parking: Street parking throughout the Marina Commerciale perimeter as well as several free parking lots nearby yield plentiful parking just steps away from the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: A number of kid-friendly and kid-approved items on the menu, as well as a clear view of the show and shenanigans occurring in the Dolphin Discovery Riviera Maya enclosures just beyond the restaurant. The kids loved it!

Wheelchair accessibility: Fully wheel-chair accessible, though sidewalks in the Marina Commerciale area generally are a wee bit choppy. There are ramps everywhere, and the few cracks and bumps by no means limit wheelchair mobility.“

“Went there a few days ago with a bunch of friends. Were pleasantly surprised at how good the place was. They offer an extensive menu for such a small restaurant. I had the grilled octopus and my wife had the Bunuelo De Camaron. The octopus was the best that I have had here yet. Better than La Caleta and 081. The Bunuelo wasn't so good, the shrimp still had the shells on and made the dish a mess to eat. Service was pretty good. Prices were reasonable. I would go back for sure.“

“VERY authentic Restaurante Mexicana! All four of us had different shrimp dinners, and all of them were top-notch! We had Camaron Quesadillas, Cameron a la Diabla, Camaron al Ajillo, and 2 more plates of Camaron Quesadillas, and were surprised at how inexpensive our meals were. We would HIGHLY recommend!EDIT: We liked this restaurant so much that we went back three times during our week stay in the area! Bonus - live music Friday and Saturday nights.“

“Spectacular food!We visited the place to eat. We were 5 people so we ordered two dishes to share and then one dish each to complete.Good portions. The price is normal for the area where it is located.The attention was always very good and attentive.“

“Wonderful eatery. Great atmosphere. The meals were done to perfection. Tequila shrimp, fresh fish , fajitas among our favorite. Luis and staff were so prompt , helpful and fun. Don’t miss this spot when you are in Puerto Aventuras.We r going back for key lime pie.☺️“

“A Must-Visit in Puerto Aventuras: Pelican Point Restaurant Excels Again!

Pelican Point never disappoints! I had the pleasure of dining there again today, and it was a truly exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting.

For starters, I dove into the mussels in white wine. The flavor was absolutely incredible – a perfect balance of savory and herbaceous. The clams in their shells were equally delightful – the freshness shone through in every bite.

But the real star of the show was the centollo crab for my main course. Spectacular doesn't even begin to describe it! The preparation was flawless, allowing the crab's natural sweetness to take center stage.

To top it all off, I finished with a decadent chocolate mousse. It was the perfect ending to a truly memorable meal.

This wasn't my first visit to Pelican Point – I first came in 2016, and it's become a must-do on every trip to Puerto Aventuras. The quality of the food is undeniable, and the flavors are truly mind-blowing. But it's not just the food; the service is outstanding as well. Guillermo, the owner, was fantastic – attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Expect to pay a premium for this kind of quality, but it's absolutely worth every penny. Pelican Point is a culinary gem in Puerto Aventuras, and I can't wait to return for another incredible meal on my next visit!“

“We just had the best few days here! The resort is beautiful and has exceptional staff. The activities team especially made our trip so fun. We were able to do the kayaking and bike tours which were a huge plus. All of the food was good but our favorites were the special lunch stations by the pool and the quesadillas from the grill. I would love to return soon and will recommend to everyone!“

“The service was very very good, the appetizer of tuna and salmon tartare was delicious, as well as the main course, I recommend the one that comes with beef fillet with mashed potatoes and mushrooms,

Vegetarian options: they have salads

Wheelchair accessibility: They have ramp and good space

Dietary restrictions: Most options are healthy and very low in carbohydrates“

“Excellent service and attention, everything very fast and the food, I don't even know how to say it, is delicious. Without a doubt a recommended place and to return, good prices and well-served dishes, something that many lack. Congratulations to the captain in red (José Luis) for his attention, definitely very attentive and super helpful. a place recommended to ?“

“This is the definition of a beach bar. The oceans view is beautiful and the whole place is on sand. We've been coming for 20 years and it's always a pleasure to come back. The drinks and are great and food is excellent. Make sure this is the first stop for you and your freinds to see what Half Moon Bay, Akumal has to offer.“

“Lugar muy bonito, el costo de entrada a la playa son $50, o bien $200 reembolsables en comida en los beach clubs, los cuales tienen comida decente, no espectacular, oleaje calmado con un ambiente muy familiar, una vista espectacular, la playa todo bien, la calificación es por la comida y precios del beach clubs en promedio el gasto por persona 300-500“

“The food and service were 10. We ordered an octopus cocktail and it was one of the best I have eaten in Playa, whiting and a mixed ceviche.It needs more atmosphere and with the heat it has been lately they need some large fans to cool it down a bit.“

“El Oasis was a nice local seafood restaurant about 150 pesos taxi ride from 5th Avenue in Playa Del Carmen. Our waiter didn’t speak English, but he brought us tablets with the menus in English. I ordered marlin empanadas and paella. Both were excellent!“

“Nice restaurant, home made pasta, pizza and ice cream. The pizza dough was very good, the fettuccini fruti di mari missed a bit of taste/seasoning. The coconut ice cream was delicious.
Nice atmosphere but unfortunately very hot since its half open place so you only have ventilators.“

“We had a fabulous dinner here as a family. Highly recommend! The food was delicious and Javier was such a wonderful server.

We had the cazuela Mon kii house speciality and it was so tasty. The ceviche mixto and fish tacos were also great. Also, don't skip the flavored butter. Loved the backyard area, the drinks were good, and lots of fans to keep the bugs away and air cool.“

“Rave reviews so my wife and I decided to give it a try and our expectations were truly exceeded. From the outside ok but probably a restaurant we would have walked past if not looked up first in the internet. Great, very attentive service! We had a Pina as a cocktail to start with (great - with fresh grated coconut). Starters were Octopus Causa and Seafood Ceviche (we ordered two in fact ;-)) ... As a main Seafood Rice (truly amazing), we shared all ;-) - together with a good Sauvignon Blanc followed by another Pina and two desserts, Choclo Cake and a tart. Given the quality and quantity of the dishes, the bill was more than reasonable! We might be back next week :-) - well done - honestly deserves the rave reviews“

“Very delicious food, the large mixed ceviche is very well served and at a good price, the grilled octopus is very delicious but very small and for $350 I didn't feel it was worth it, the dogfish empanadas are also very delicious but with a lot of oil.“

“This restaurant is on the water so a great ambiance. They also serve our favorite beer, Chela de Playa IPA Blanca ?. We enjoyed ceviche and a seafood pasta. They bring a little pot of oil and another with salsa for your chips. The oil is Uber caliente. ?️“

“Stopped by after a beach day at Akumal and loved it! Everything by the beach was so overpriced and this was super reasonable and authentic. We got spots on the side patio looking over the town and it was amazing. All the food was delicious!“

“When I tell you the service was stellar, the food is delectable, the atmosphere is like a movie, they’re so accommodating, and the bathrooms are so clean that you feel safe there. Like if something fell on the floor, it would be just fine.“
