It happened to be closed on the night we planned to eat there, which was frustrating. Honestly, I wish the resort would provide a schedule at check-in showing which restaurants are open and closed each night. We ran into that issue with more than one restaurant during our trip. For breakfast, Siete is very much a traditional buffet. There's a large selection, but some of the breads and pastries sit out in the open and can get stale pretty quickly. The omelet stations were one of the better features. They have two of them, which helps keep the lines moving, and there are a ton of toppings to choose from. The omelets were pretty good, although like most omelet bars, they were slightly overcooked. The standout part of breakfast was the fresh fruit and smoothie station. I believe the gentleman working there was named Marco, and he was awesome. He made our smoothies three different mornings and was always energetic, friendly, and happy to help people figure out what flavors would work well together. They had an impressive selection of ingredients too, including things like prickly pear, aloe vera, and other fruits and vegetables you don't normally see at a breakfast buffet. They also have cereal, meats, a Bloody Mary station, and plenty of other breakfast options, so there's something for just about everyone. Service overall was just okay, but the hostesses were really nice and welcoming. Not the most amazing breakfast buffet I've ever had, but it was a solid option each morning, and Marco alone made the experience a lot more enjoyable. I would definitely eat breakfast here again.

Siete offers the BEST breakfast buffet ever…read more The best part of the buffet was the fresh omelet and smoothie station. Since when do you ever see a fresh smoothie station at a hotel/resort buffet? Shout out to Marco the only staff member at Live Aqua that left an impression on me for being the most genuinely cheerful guy ever. He will concoct something for you if are indecisive and it always comes out great. Very unique ingredients are available to curate your drink ie. cactus, dragon fruit, star fruit, passion fruit. He makes it a show out of making the smoothie too- all the ingredients he uses is always enough for 1 glass with no waste! They have the best fresh juice station as well- papaya, cantaloupe, watermelon-- all so smooth with no pulp. Fresh fruits, so many pastries, churro & chocolate fountain station, Mexican coffee, Mexican breakfast foods- there's something for everyone. Mimosas are also available! Their dinner offerings were lackluster and not that memorable comparable to their breakfast service. Since the size of the Siete was more spacious than their other restaurants, service is also a lot more slower than usual. Would highly recommend dining at Siete for dinner on their Mexican Festivity night at Live Aqua (was on Thursday) the week we were there- they have live music and performance.

It was more of just 'what can I dislike the most.' Everything was just average at best and the size of the buffet was just much smaller than I expected. Also, I was really excited to try their peanut butter & jelly 'flavor of the month' ice cream, but when I got it, we all agreed that it tasted most almondy than PB&J. (as 2 days later was a new month, I saw that that month they had changed the flavor of the month to almond honey so clearly I unknowingly just got an early preview of the next month's flavor). I've heard that on other times this place is an actual restaurant. I wish we had tried it in that format so we could try most made to order items as I would hope they'd be better. While the food was disappointing, the wait staff was absolutely fantastic. They were so helpful and just so joyous. They were constantly joking around with us, helped turn some of our coffees in to a fantastic alcoholic drink, and just being so pleasant to our kids. They were really the stars of the meal. If we were to find ourselves here again, we'd absolutely avoid it if it was their buffet but would also absolutely try it if it was the actual restaurant format. The setting is nice, the interiors are inviting and warm, and I just want to trust these other reviews of people have positively given.

Juices, bacon, sausage, all types of meats, omelet station, lots of fruit, tons of tea varieties, etc. All types of coffee are available including vera cruz and mexican coffee.

They even have an area for kids to play with toys while the families eat nearby. Dinner is really good here as well and lunch is okay. My favorite food to get here is their omelets and the papayas.

Left side is for kids with a gated kids' area and they even have baby food. How cool is that? Sure you do have sit down breakfast spots at the resort but I prefer to get whatever when I want instead of waiting to be brought to me. Saves precious time to enjoy the rest of the resort. Lunch was OK. They have a meat grilling and fish grilling station. You can never go wrong with grilled to order steak. They have a small sushi cart but I stayed away from it. It didn't look too appetizing. Sometimes they had a ramen station as well. I preferred to eat lunch by the pool where they grill different things everyday. I had 2 dinners here. Once I came around 8:30pm and another time as soon as it opened. Wasn't too impressed the first night but the 2nd time they had all kinds of seafood. Seafood is my jam and so that was the best dinner during the entire stay. We enjoyed fresh oysters, tuna sashimi, different kinds of ceviche, crab legs...the works. I'm not sure if they rotate items on a daily basis but their seafood night is legit. Other family members loved the steak grilling station and the fish grilling station. Definitely recommend.

Really more like 4.5 stars…read more Holy CAO - this place serves delicious food with inventive and entertaining cocktails, and vibes to keep you grooving in your seats as you eat. Located in the marina with both indoor and patio seating, you'll have a nice view of the water and a breeze in the evenings. My party spent 4 hours dining here for dinner; splitting a few dishes and mostly just talking with each other, the staff, and vibing to the DJ's tunes. At times the music was a little loud and I could see this deterring families with young children from sitting outside. They also push the alcohol sale here hard. As with most restaurants, I'm sure this is a big money maker for them (nothing is cheap here) but we had a person in our party who does not drink alcohol and the push was a little too pushy, even after we asked that they stop asking. We were celebrating a friend's birthday and they brought a cupcake at the end of our meal. Unfortunately, it was frozen solid in the center. Every entree and appetizer selection was excellent. I highly recommend the quesabirria and garlic shrimp! We're from the California Bay Area and the pricing here was like going out at home. It's expensive and caters to the tourist, so beware. You can also hookah here!

However, we found that for the price this restaurant does a very good job with the service, food, and entertainment. Prices are consistent with other hotel restaurants, especially for the buffet. However, considering the food quality and service it is within reason. The best value are some of dinner theme nights. We have gone to Mayan Night this year. Last year we went to the Seafood on the Beach night. However, I found that for Taco night the prices were too high. Since you can go an across the street at La Isla for more than half the price. Not only is the food fresh and tasty, the service is excellent. When I asked our main waiter what is Mayan food, he took me to the buffet and explained which foods are traditionally Mayan and how they were historically prepared. There were other foods that were more Mexican than Mayan and though delicious wasn't what I was looking to experience that night. As I wandered around the buffet area trying to determine what I was going to eat, more than 1 server asked if they could help me. I just couldn't decide since there were a lot of food options. For families with big appetites, the buffet nights are a deal. It's also an experience with the entertainment. I enjoyed both Mayan night and Seafood night because of them. The entertainment is consistent with those you find at other high end establishments that we have paid more than double the prices. Last year the fire show on the beach was fantastic. This year the Mayan performers were equally entertaining. We were seated very close to the entertainers which was a big plus. What Oceano is lacking is modern decor to compete with the new swanky restaurants that have been opening up in the hotel zone area. The vibe of the restaurant is hotel breakfast cafe, and not high end restaurant. Very small bar. However, with just a few updates and extending the patio to more an indoor outdoor dining with newer chairs, they maybe able to attract more customers.

August 2023…read more Service: 3/5 We were pleasantly surprised by the efficient and friendly hostesses who promptly gathered our details, inquired about allergies, and asked if we were marking a special occasion. I shared that I was celebrating my BIRTHDAY. Within 20 minutes of being seated, a neighboring table also seemed to be commemorating a birthday. The staff brought out a cake adorned with a sparkler, and they joined in applauding to honor the young lady's special day. About 15 minutes later, another guest received a similar celebratory treatment. Naturally, I anticipated a similar celebration for myself. After our meal, when the waiter inquired about the check, my partner reminded them that it was my birthday, a detail we had already conveyed to the hostess. She assured us of something special. However, to my immense disappointment, we were presented with two modest ice cream cones instead of the anticipated birthday festivities or a sparkler. This experience left me feeling overlooked and disregarded. I'm unsure what miscommunication occurred, as I had clearly mentioned my birthday both before being seated and during the meal. Given the elaborate celebrations we witnessed for others, the simple ice cream cones felt inadequate and failed to capture the essence of a true celebratory experience. Ambiance: 5/5 Upon arrival, we were captivated by the stunning natural surroundings that surrounded us. The staff's professionalism was exceptional and left a lasting impression. The entrance was adorned with tasteful decorations and provided a comfortable space for guests to await their tables. Stepping into the restaurant felt like stepping into a lush jungle, enhanced by the mellifluous strains of R&B music that perfectly matched the ambiance. An added touch of convenience was the provision of hangers for shopping bags, thoughtfully placed in proximity to our table--an attention to detail that truly stood out. Taste/Textures: 5/5 We indulged in the exquisite cauliflower dish, elegantly accompanied by an incredible cheese sauce presentation. The New York strip steak was a show in itself, being expertly sliced tableside and artfully placed on a heated stone for savoring. The steak's impeccable preparation showcased its abundant flavor and juiciness. (However, we advise against the seasoned potatoes that accompanied it, as they were undercooked and overly seasoned.) The short rib spaghetti was a delightful choice, a symphony of flavors that seemed to linger endlessly. The mushrooms lent their delectable touch, while the creamy sauce added richness to every bite. We paired the meals with champagne and an old-fashioned, unfortunately, it did take a bit of time to be delivered to the table . Prices: 5/5 Considering the exceptional service and the premium quality of ingredients, the pricing appears to be more than reasonable. With steaks starting at just US$20 and appetizers at a starting price of US$15, the value aligns well with the experience. To ensure a celebratory experience, I would recommend this restaurant to give better guidance on what to do to achieve the best birthday ever. Bottom Line: 3.5/5 Overall, my experience was high! Unfortunately, in celebrating any milestones, having the ball dropped on, that makes a high impact on my rating . We were pleasantly surprised that during the meal, the waiters came around and boxed our portions as the courses were served. *This was one of my favorite details and attention to service. That's bar NONE! * We did not further inquire about the issue that we had. We left, without complaint to avoid any embarrassment. Conclusión: 3.5/5 En general, ¡mi experiencia fue alta! Desafortunadamente, al celebrar cualquier hito, dejar caer la pelota, eso tiene un gran impacto en mi calificación. Nos sorprendió gratamente que durante la comida, los camareros se acercaran y empaquetaran nuestras porciones mientras se servían los platos. *Este fue uno de mis detalles favoritos y la atención al servicio. ¡Eso es sin excepción! * No investigamos más sobre el problema que tuvimos. Nos fuimos, sin quejarnos para evitar cualquier vergüenza.
