    That ambience is exceptional
    Lindsi B.

    We had an amazing experience at Lola Valentina! We went for our daughter's 17 bday. From the moment we sat down the staff was friendly and attentive. we ordered tacos, seafood, risotto, and half rack of ribs. Everything was delicious. The portions were large and shareable. The saxophone player was exceptional! They have the greatest birthday celebration with firework candles and singing! I can't say enough about how they made this a special night for our family!

    Amazing food ambience and service Tonight they had live music and I ordered the shrimp tacos and a mango hibiscus margarita Absolutely divine. The decor and location made is a special night.

    Loved everything about this place! The atmosphere was fantastic, the service was great, and the lobster mac and cheese was absolutely delicious. Perfect spot for a great meal--highly recommend!

    Incredible fish and shrimp
    Jim M.

    I was actually able to find a reasonable bottle of rosé. The services extraordinary. They actually have air-conditioning here. Super tasty fresh fish.

    Erica makes freakin' bomb passion fruit chipotle mezcalritas. Best I've had, even though these were my first on the island. Two for one! We sat on the swings at the bar, which are always fun and make everything a little more playful. That's not just the mezcal talking, either. Double check the order, because our order was wrong on multiple fronts (I asked for passion fruit and cherimoya ritas for the BOGO deal but got two passion fruit ritas instead that the bartender didn't take back, didn't order guacamole and it was served, and we didn't get the sweet potato fries we asked for and got normal fries instead). So service was a little meh, but the ritas and the pulled pork sliders were delicious. The burger was ok. ~550 pesos before tip. They accept card.

    Bloody Mary: Surf & Turf
    Samantha D.

    Service was fantastic here! Our server got our drinks which came out quickly, we had a few margaritas and a bloody mary which was great!! We ordered the breakfast burrito which was very filling. I had the fruit bowl which was delicious!!! Next we had the Mexican omelette which was phenomenal. Highly recommend!! We've also been here for dinner where we all had tacos (fish tacos are to die for) The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, very simple decor but the ambiance is lovely here!!

    Fried Fish of the Day

    Solid food menu - fish is killer- and safe for many preferences with selection. Staff is super friendly and helpful- Remy and Luis helped us out. Definitely a classy and trendy spot with the swing bar. Bit pricey for some - I think 4 drinks and 2 big entrees were about $80USD ($1655 MXN). Drinks tasty but just a little weak. Just order more and it's ok.

    Vegan Fish & Chips &

    Vegan Isla Mujeres for the win! Let's go! We had a friend who highly recommended this place, so we def had to check it out. We were not disappointed. Lola Valentina starts with just a beautiful dining experience, indoor dining with a great feel of the island. Their menu helpfully notates the vegan options with a green V. We had: -Vegan fish and chips -Caribbean Tostones Yum! Other options available include; Guac, Green Bowl, Cactus Tacos, Cauliflower Tacos, Curry, Burgers, Fruit Plate, Mexican Hash, Rancheros. COVID NOTES ***CANCUN & area was phenomenally incredible as for Covid. We were super impressed all around on how business' provided Covid safety protocols, and masks were worn indoors and outdoors by locals!*** -Temperature check. -Hand Sanitizer provided. -Indoor/Outdoor dining was available. -The order was effortless, quick, & accurate. -Excellent customer service, masks were required, staff wore masks and gloves. -No issues at all. Thank you, Lola Valentina, for all of the Vegan Options!

    An incredibly beautiful restaurant with amazing food. We came here based on reviews we saw and listen, this was WELL worth it. When you enter this restaurant you are able to grab your own tea or house coffee. I love that I can get unlimited tea refills because tea is my favorite. When I came it was a particularly gloomy day, but this ambiance helped start me on the right track. I wanted to try a bit of everything but decided on the tres leches pancakes and the cheesy poblano with scrambled eggs. The picture I've attached is of all the food with a closeup on my own. What made this place even better for me was the service. Everyone was extremely nice, accommodating and worked really hard to ensure that MY experience was great. I'm always looking for a restaurant like Lola Valentine. Can't wait to come back and visit!

    Nopales tacos
    Renée C.

    Great spot for some fresh, light food by the beach! It satisfied my veggie craving. Between the two tacos I ordered, I liked the nopales better. It had a nice savory flavor & didn't really need any salsa--though the salsa verde added a little kick. I even ate the side of guac they gave--and I usually don't like guac. The Baja cauliflower didn't quite do it for me. Given it's crunchiness, I could see it being a nice veggie alternative to fried shrimp though. Drinks are good & strong. Happy I decided to give this spot a try!

    Ranchero tacos
    Miguel G.

    Upon arrival we were greeted with a random person yelling at us for going down the wrong street in a golf cart. Edgar, a worker at the restaurant, quickly defended us. I was very pleased with Edgar's professional attitude great customer service, and backing us up from the rude person that approached us. Throughout the whole experience at the restaurant, Edgar was very very nice and provided awesome customer service. I wanted to make a great review on Edgar and asked for the manager. Edgar informed me the owner of the restaurant was having a wedding dinner the same day at the restaurant. I told Edgar to let everybody know he was doing a great job and Edgar should become a manager at this restaurant. I have traveled to different restaurants everywhere in Cancun the last three years. Edgar has been the most respectful and has provided the most customer service. The food was awesome and Edgar provided the best customer service I have ever received. I highly recommend this place and I highly recommend Edgar to be your server, hopefully he is a manager soon.

    We had dinner here our first night on the island and everything was so good. Plenty of vegan options but something for everyone. The cocktails were great and our server was super professional and knew the menu inside and out.

The prices are fair and they provide everything you need to have a great beach (or pool) day. Their signature drink is a favorite of mine. I also enjoy their tuna tartare and guacamole, perfectly seasoned. Give them a try for low key, laid back relaxation.

    The GURU beach club is in a great location and the overall service and food are good. However,…read moreguests should be aware that the club includes a SUGGESTED TIP on the RENTAL of beach beds. While tipping for service and food makes sense, it's unclear why a tip would be added to a simple bed rental, since no service is actually provided for that charge. For this reason, guests should double-check their receipts before paying to make sure they are only tipping for the services they actually received. ---- El club de playa GURU está en una excelente ubicación y el servicio y la comida son buenos. Sin embargo, los huéspedes deben saber que el club incluye una propina sugerida en el alquiler de las camas de playa. Aunque tiene sentido dejar propina por el servicio y la comida, no queda claro por qué se agrega una propina al simple alquiler de una cama, ya que no se brinda ningún servicio adicional por ese cargo. Por eso, se recomienda que los huéspedes revisen bien su recibo antes de pagar para asegurarse de que solo están dejando propina por los servicios realmente recibidos. ---- Le beach club GURU est très bien situé et le service ainsi que la nourriture sont bons. Cependant, les clients doivent savoir que l'établissement ajoute un pourboire suggéré sur la location des lits de plage. S'il est compréhensible de laisser un pourboire pour le service et la nourriture, il n'est pas clair pourquoi un pourboire est ajouté à la simple location d'un lit, étant donné qu'aucun service supplémentaire n'est fourni. Pour cette raison, il est conseillé aux clients de vérifier attentivement leur reçu avant de payer afin de s'assurer qu'ils ne laissent un pourboire que pour les services réellement reçus.

A reservation was easy to obtain via email and we were all set for a sunset, evening meal. We were warmly welcomed and promptly seated. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere pleasant with an acoustic duo playing mellow tunes in the background. Honestly, we were a little disappointed with the view that most reviews rave about. Our sever was knowledgeable and made several suggestions. We selected the Pepita Crusted Tuna for a starter, my companion had the fresh catch which was grouper, blackened with a side of the peanut sauce. I chose the Surf and Turf. For dessert, we shared the Key Lime Pie. Everything was beautifully presented, and quite artistic. The tuna appetizer was very good, but the main courses were frankly a disappointment. The creativity of the plate did not make up for the lackluster food. The steak was tough and poorly seasoned, the lobster was just passable but also chewy and not tender. The fish was not as well cooked as other restaurants downtown and again the seasoning was lackluster. The sides, lentils and mashed potatoes were just ok. The homemade Key Lime Pie was enjoyable but again seemed to lack a depth of flavor. If the food could match the service, presentation, and atmosphere then perhaps this could be one of Isla's better dining establishments, until then "the juice was not worth the squeeze."

    We left the island on Sunday after being there 8 days. Had an amazing vacation there as we always…read moredo (this was our 6th visit). We stayed at a hotel right on Playa Norte near Ixchel. On Saturday night at a little after 10 pm, the pounding music started. Since my husband and I had to get up at 6 am to catch an early ferry and get to the airport, this was frustrating. By 11 pm I decided to walk out to the beach in the direction the music was coming from (which was toward Ixchel) to see what was going on. Honestly I thought it was just some people down on the beach partying. But no. As I approached Chimbo's which is a convenience store with an open air deck on the back of it, I noticed strobe lights and a DJ and his assistant (no one else inside whatsoever) cranking up the music so loud that when I went inside the music made my chest pound. Again, who was the music for? As there were zero patrons inside. I approached the assistant to ask if they could turn the music down a little because we had to catch an early flight and could hear the music 3 hotels away. I asked him if he was aware that there were literally hundreds of people inside the nearby hotels who weren't going to be able to sleep. He told me "No" over and over again...that he wouldn't turn it down. When I asked why he just shrugged his shoulders and blew me off. I then began to approach the dj himself to talk to him. After ignoring me for a few minutes he came around his equipment and slap/pushed me so hard on the right side of my chest that I almost fell flat on my face. Is this suitable behavior for a man to assault a woman? Very upset I went back to my hotel to ask if she could call the police because I had been assaulted. I then went back with the front desk person at my hotel to try to get her to talk to them. They flat refused to lower the volume. A woman who claimed to be one of the owners got in my face when I also asked her if she could turn it down and if she was aware that there were hundreds of people that weren't going to sleep tonight because of this. She cussed at me and told me "I dont care!". Cops were called. And of course they did nothing. The music seemed to only get louder and went on til after 4 a.m. When we checked out the next morning there was another couple in the lobby saying they got no sleep either. I have a small bruise on my arm where I was slapped by this man and the owner of this fine establishment (sarcasm) "doesnt care" that they are not only keeping people awake but also knows that her employee hits women and also "doesnt care". Chimbo's. Just thought you should know.

    While driving around Isla Mujeres in a golf cart, we stumbled upon Chimbos by complete chance--and…read morewhat a find it was! We ended up at a dead end where a friendly guy let us know we couldn't go any farther. That's when we noticed we discovered a restaurant perfectly situated near the water, and it turned out to be exactly what we were looking for. The setting is absolutely stunning. Picture crystal blue waters just a few feet from your table. It's the ideal spot to soak in the island vibes while enjoying a meal. The only small downside was the occasional vendor stopping by to sell something or sing, but they weren't pushy, so it didn't take away from the experience. I ordered the agua chile, which was fresh, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying, loaded with perfectly sautéed shrimp. To top it off, I enjoyed an ice-cold Michelob Ultra--such a refreshing pairing. We only had a few hours on the island, but we couldn't have picked a better place to eat by accident. Chimbos delivered delicious food, great service, and breathtaking views. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Isla Mujeres!
