Akumal is the most beautiful place love everything, we rented a couple of chairs it was really nice they have security so no one else can just be there the food was excellent the only reason I give one star it was THE SERVICE SUCK it so sad to have bad service in a place like this We had to look for the server and beg for drinks and service not sure why they are like these CUSTOMER SERVICE is the #1 issue all around these places , really sad if they improve their customer service things will be different I guess they do not care since they are so busy and this is the only place to eat or drink in the area read more

Excellent food and drinks in an absolutely perfect setting on the beach. The Chipotle Fish is fantastic. Been there twice so far this week and had it both times. Others in my party had the blackened grouper and the barbecue chicken both of which were apparently excellent. read more

Lol-Ha - View from our table. - Mexican Near Me - Akumal, ROO

We loved lol-ha! Before the arch (on the right) tell the security guard you are going to lol-ha. You can park and not have to pay entrance fee or parking fee. We went there early 1030 ish and claimed a spot under a palm tree. We waited till the restaurant to opened we had lunch on the patio area with awesome views. I had the flautas and it was delish. My boyfriend had the Cuban torta and he loved it. After lunch we just hung out at the beach. They do a great job at cleaning up the sea grass. There is a large sand bar area so the water was waste high.. perfect for kids. read more

I had my best mojito here. Salmon was good also. But its annoying to ask for a ticket to go to restroom each time. And to pay 20 pesos to take an outdoor shower. Thats why 4 stars only read more

Good starting location upon our arrival. We'll be pickier later but for hour 3 this worked. My wife was glad she could get some American type Mexican food while was happy to get something more authentic in nature with the panuchos. Service was okay but was quite convenient for the beach goers that were just starting to clear out for the day. The restaurant was a giant palapa. read more

It's a beautiful place, but people Are rude, they charge you to use showers and restrooms. They won't let you in unless you're going to the restaurant. Once there, they say you can only watch but cannot get in the water....WTF!!!!! read more

Mediocre food, with a great view. They lose a star for listing "philly cheesesteak quesadillas" as a "Mexican speciality". Really?? In a restaurant in Mexico? The setting is really stunning, the staff is great. The food is sadly reminiscent of TGI Fridays. read more

This place is the most popular restaurant in Akumal bay. The food is a bit overpriced considering the size of the dishes. Makes up for size with lovely plating. Full bar and attentive service is a plus but you will be charged accordingly. What makes this a tourist's dream is that this is the only restaurant directly on the beach so the view is impeccable. But you won't see any locals eating here. read more

One of the best Beach restaurants in the area you can get a private beach chair and service at your chair. OMG the views are great all the way into sunset. the lunch/daytime menu is wonderful, and the dinner menu and setting is a little more formal and the food is fantastic the service was always the best. Better than most. read more

Incredible location on beautiful Akumal Bay. The Shrimp Tacos were great. It's the place to hang to drink and eat on the beach!

Great location however not the Lol Ha I remember from past trips. More expensive than the other restaurants in Akumal, smaller portions, good food. The whole area seems to appear private and confusing. The restaurant wasn't well marked and server was not very helpful. read more

Amazing view with the ocean right in front. The food was pretty dang good, I would say the best that we have had here in mexico so far. I had the rib eye and it was very flavorful and well proportioned. I also had the bleu cheese on top with a special bbq sauce that I had to ask for but they did provide very nicely. The service was good we had a group of 13 so pretty decent for that amount of people. I would definitely recommend others to come eat here especially if you have wives who don't like the Latin food that is typically offered everywhere else. read more

Over priced and very mediocre for what you get. On the beach so that is plus. Better places to eat in town

My husband and I have been coming here for years. The guys at the bar let us leave our stuff at the end of the bar while we snorkel. So we are hanging with Oscar and the guys for several hours. A lot of the bartenders have been there for years and are very friendly. They even remember us from year to year. At least say they do. We didn't stay in Akumal this trip but did eat breakfast at the restaurant before snorkeling and it was very good. Matt had scrambled eggs with chorizo. The chorizo was very good. I just banana bread but it was 3 huge pieces! You can't ask for a better view of the ocean to start your day. Later, We always have soup but this day was black bean and I wasn't feeling beaney. Mango margaritas are a must! But you guys keep changing your glass size. It's always been a small glass but last year you switched to the big marg glass. I liked that. Bigger is better when it comes to yummy margs! Then this year back to small ones. Then the AL Pastor nachos.......my fav in Mexico are here at LOL ha. At least they used to be. They use to place a single layer of chips on the plate and each chip had cheese and al pastor. So each bite you got this amazing pork and cheese! But apparently people complained about wanting a mound of Nachos like you can get in ANY restaurant ANYwhere! I don't want what I can get anywhere when I go to Mexico. I want what THEY do and the way THEY do it! Even though they now have a mound of chips with beans added it was still good but didn't have that OMG factor. Please, please change them back. I was going to have your amazing coconut shrimp but I was too full from the nachos. So in the long run you saved me money. When you frequent restaurants you like consistency. You go there for your favorites. Don't change the way you've been doing something for years. Just add a second version of it. Then you can pick the way you like it. So if your looking for a great place to hang for a while in Akumal I do recommend LOL Ha. Good food, great service and amazing view! And hang at the bar with Oscar and the guys! read more

Good for families, lots of options for dinner and super close to the water. We loved their BBQ sauce!!!

Fantastic views. Good happy hour prices (half-off drinks), and drinks are full pours. Wide menu of fish and American food, but very small number of Mexican dishes. While I understand there's a cost for the location, it still seems expensive. There are two sides of the restaurant, one more upscale than the other, and even on the cheap side, dinner and drinks were $800 pesos (about $45 USD at the time). Should be rated as $$$ read more

The most beautiful setting, great food, and friendly service staff... what more could you ask for?! They make their tortilla chips fresh and hot. The Yucatán lime soup that they serve on Tuesday is the best soup I have ever had! Grab a drink, a snack, or bring a large group- Lol-ha always provides a wonderful experience. read more

Had a delicious, healthy lunch here under the shade of the palapa with a great view of the gorgeous beach and ocean. The horchata, made in house with a date on the bottle, and the vegetarian fajitas really hit the spot on a hot afternoon. If you take a colectivo to Akumal from Playa del Carmen and walk to the beach, you can't miss it on your right as you hit the sand. read more

We were here in early May 2014 for a family vacation and stayed in the Half Moon Bay area so Lol Ha was very convenient for us. We loved sitting right on Akumal Bay watching the ocean and the people with a nice breeze making the heat enjoyable. They have a very wide range of food. Something for everyone but the food was just OK but not remarkable. Certainly worth trying while in Akumal and a great location right on the beach, but there is much better food near by. read more

Delicious quesadillas with spinach, mushrooms, cheese, plus a variety of tacos. We ordered dinners to go, but enjoyed drinks while we waited. read more

This place was great. Terrific variety of food, right on the bay. Our entire group enjoyed every bit of this meal.

I feel like you are paying more for the view than the food. It was mediocre food but right off the beach with an amazing view . I thoroughly enjoyed the half pina colada half strawberry daiquiri more than the food! read more
