What a wonderful way to start the day! Since the moment we sat down we were greeted with a big smile and all the best energy. Not only is the service here amazing, but so is the food! We had the green chilaquiles with chicken/egg and the Breakfast burrito. We also made one of our coffees a continental breakfast so we could also try the bread and fruit, and it did not disappoint! I was sitting down in one of the tables next to the bar, and coatis just kept going up and down a tree and into the roof with their little tippy tappies! What a fantastic place and very recommended! We also saw the owner with his adorable dogs!
Came here for lunch after scuba diving. We were starving and would have eaten anything, so we're happy that the food here is delicious and plentiful. As someone who has to eat gluten-free, I appreciated that the menu marked which items came with flour tortillas and which had corn tortillas. All were clearly fresh, as we're all the ingredients. Great service, and loved sitting under the huge palapa with fans. Great atmosphere and very pleasant on a hot day. Parking is available in a lot nearby. Be sure to have the restaurant staff stamp your parking ticket to reduce the cost of parking from 40 pesos to 20 pesos.
We ate here twice while in Akumal. Once for lunch and once for breakfast. Both meals were great. For our lunch we started with delicious onion rings. They were huge and came with a good dipping sauces. We all ordered something different for our meal. I had a good hamburger and fries, my wife a Cobb salad, and others the quesadilla. Served with good cold beer. Our server was very good. For breakfast we had a nice strong coffee with a pineapple and orange glass of juice. I had the eggs, bacon, and potatoes. It was all good. The place is open air with a nice gift shop that sells some nice glassware. They have a very extensive menu.
We stopped the first time at Turtle Bay on our way home from eating at Imelda 's close by. We were just kind of checking out the area and decided to sit down and have a piña colada and a margarita. First off, the drinks were on happy hour, so they were essentially the same price as the Buena Vida happy hour, you can read my review of them as well. We were blown away by the quality of the drinks at Turtle Bay. Well made, flavorful and you could tell there was a good kick to them. My wife's standard "how good is this place" check is to order a cup of the tortilla soup. Wow, they knocked it out of the park. We came back the next day for happy hour again, again the drinks were great and this time we went into a little room where they sell desserts to go, glassware and ice cream. We took home some of their flan and some mango cake both of which were delicious. We then decided to come back a third time with some friends for dinner. Turtle Bay didn't disappoint. The drinks, food and service were all on point. After dinner we ordered more desserts to take with us and our friends bought some of the glassware to take back home. The ambiance is nice, it's an open air, palapa roof style eating experience, very typical for the area. This is a very solid option for meals and drinks in the Akumal area. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it and I will be back.
Eat here when in akumal or you will be bummed you missed out. Breakfast is perfect to fuel you for your day of adventure in the sun. Crab Benedict Skillet Burrito Smoothies Juices - fresh! Açaí and granola smoothie - the best! It's all fresh, good, affordable, and crazy fast. The service is always polite and happy to host you. The menu has a ton of variety and everything is appealing. We have yet to eat lunch or dinner but the happy hour deals and food look just as good as the breakfast! Highly recommend! Close to town and the beach and easy to navigate + a bathroom for you to use before adventuring on.
Great service, drinks and food! Plenty of seating in a fun atmosphere. The ice cream is the best!
This joint is a central part of Akumal's food & bar scene. Once you come in for a meal you'll be back again & again ! Thanks Bart & Jen for creating and keeping your wonderful place going!!!
We stayed at the Iguana condos in Akumal and found this gem on yelp and researching what was around in our cove. Love the decor of this place, cute tiki hut feel with vibrant colors. We had the amazing crab cakes, best I have ever had. Kids had the huge flat bread pizza, which was delicious. We tried the thai chicken tacos, which were fantastic as well. The drinks come in some awesome glassware, which we ended up buying a set to take back home. Cute shot glasses with turtles at the bottom of it. Cute decor around the area and artwork. Ice cream of course for dessert was amazing as well. We came back the next day for breakfast before our fishing trip across the way. The skillets are awesome. Bottom line everything here was outstanding, we are from Vegas so we love when we find a place with great food and great service Everyone super friendly and helpful. Definitely will be back.
Food was delicious. Service impeccable. Outside seating. Generous portions. Kept our glasses full.
Our absolutely favorite restaurant on Akumal. The staff are so very friendly and kind. The food is amazing and the service is super quick. Even for our large group, they never fail to surpass expectations. Highly recommend this restaurant. We pretty much visit everyday while we are in Mexico. The open air restaurant is inviting and comfortable.
Great spot to eat for post turtle snorkel adventure. Happy Hour prices, delicious tacos, colorful outdoor decor, friendly service - what more could you want! Away from the road and not on the beach (only con) - pass the roadside cueva del pescador to get here and enjoy. **recommend the blackened fish tacos and the tortilla soup**

Such a fun atmosphere, reggae music, colorful patio. I had the tacos borracho (grilled grouper) was SO delicious, and a pretty healthy option (came w/ 3 tacos). My bf ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and it was a large portion, perfect meal. We are staying in Akumal so parking is easy, 20 pesos an house and a minute walk to the beach. read more

Turtle Bay Bakery & Cafe' has everything that I love, it is my "go to" for pretty much everything. They offer coffee, tea, smoothies, pastries, homemade ice cream, sandwiches, & salads and so much more. I love their menu options, everything I have ordered is delicious. Turtle Bay Cafe' also has a great beverage selection from hard seltzer to Mezcal. The service is superb, Gio, my server, really took care of me. He was prompt and knowledgeable on the menu and gave me great recommendations (especially on what ice cream flavor is the best). I felt very at home and relaxed, just a great atmosphere. Aaron, Rosa, & Patty are all super friendly, you can tell they love their jobs and the restaurant is very clean and sanitary. Bart & Jennifer (the owners) have beautiful artwork everywhere and homemade glassware for sale. It is nice, cool, & peaceful under the palapa, I love to go here to work on my laptop, its the best! Also, there are friendly kitties that just hang around that are all super cute! I will definitely continue to get tasty treats at Turtle Bay Cafe' read more

I was really looking forward to dining at the Turtle Bay Cafe, as this is a restaurant I used to visit as a kid. The food is average at best. There are better options nearby (Taverna). We had the guacamole, the fish tacos, the shrimp tacos, and the flan. The waitress was pleasant enough during the dining experience, but acted a little strange when we presented a credit card for payment (Visa and MasterCard stickers are posted on the restaurant). The waitress disappeared with the credit card for a while, then reappeared with our receipt. Upon our return to the hotel, I checked my bank statement and noticed two charges for the Turtle Bay Cafe. I have included a photo below. Because the charges were pending, I wanted to give the waitress the benefit of the doubt and assume she made an error. However, I checked my account a few days later and both transactions went through. It turns out I was wrong and our waitress was a thief. I was a waitress for many years and I can assure you, this is not an honest mistake. This is blatant theft. If you wish to have mediocre food and compromise your identity, then this is the spot for you! Otherwise, steer clear!! read more

This is one of our favorite stops while in Akumal. They have the best wait staff, a superb breakfast and delicious smoothies. They make all their own breads, so so good! We were delighted to learn they serve dinner now! Dinner was excellent. A great variety of dishes, from BBQ pulled pork, to citrus marinated salmon, and ribeye steak. A wonderful meal, great staff, reasonable prices. Have been visiting for years, will always make a stop when in town. A family favorite. read more

We decided to leave our all inclusive resort to get a feel for the surrounding area and dip into the culture a bit. We found this restaurant by accident and have come back 3 times the past two days. The food, service and vibe is amazing. I highly recommend checking it out.... you can swim with the turtles next door too!! read more
