Sotavento - Playa del Carmen

Amazing food and service! The place was a dream. I'll go back and recommend it for special occasions and romantic dinners.

The food was excellent. I had the mushroom salad and the lobster fattyuccini while my girlfriend had the artichoke salad and the grilled sea bass fillet. Everyone was 5 star. Our server Sarah was enormous. My only warning is if you don't stay on the property, let yourself get a lot of time to get through the front door security. It took almost 25 minutes for the guard to coordinate with the restaurant and confirm our reservation. But after that everything was wonderful.

Horrible experience, sat at our table for 20 minutes with no acknowledgment or even water. The place was not busy and many employees were readily available and seen chatting away as we were willingly there to spend several hundred dollars on a meal along with drinks. The resort is beautiful but this restaurant was a big miss. Such a huge disappointment as we were hoping to see this place live up to its reputation, the single worst dining experience I’ve ever had. The vibes and location are nice but the staff is horrible.

Cute resto on the beach with feet on the sand. The food was delicious. It’s overly expensive for what it is. Dinner for two with 1 app, muscles, chicken, 1 dessert, water. No alcohol, $150 before tip.

$50-$60 fish that comes wildly overcooked? This should never happen in a restaurant that pretends to be high end and charge accordingly. There were other service issues. Overall, poor experience that I would not repeat.
