Best meal we had in Cancun! I am gluten-free and dairy-free, and was able to enjoy a truly delicious meal with the Pulpo in Adobo. I was the only one with food allergies in our group, and the staff was very attentive to make sure I had a safe and delicious meal. The Marlin Tostada was excellent! A friend got the catch of the day, and staff helped her debone the fish part way thru the meal. Truly magical atmosphere on the lagoon - staff showed us an alligator who had swam up under the dock during the meal. If you're in the Hotel Zone, eat here!!! Delicious, innovative menu featuring land, sea, and vegetarian options. There were many items that I have not seen anywhere else in the Yucatan Peninsula. Their location on the lagoon is quiet, romantic, and memorable. I would not bring young children here given the fact that the restaurant is on a wooden dock above the lagoon which does in fact have crocodiles in it (one made a guest appearance during our visit) as well as the fancier vibe and nature of the menu. The wait staff was very attentive and the food came from the chicken quickly and warmly. I would most definitely come back here. A great romantic dinner. Navíos is a great little seafood restaurant that sits on the water. Each table is on the pier over water. The food is great, all seafood choices. I had Tuna Steak, I could cut with a fork. Tuna medallion marinated in black sauces,roasted garlic & sautéed cambray potatoes My wife had Garlic Seafood. Shrimp, fish & octopus marinated with garlic, cilantro rice & grilled vegetables. Wine list was better than average, but wine by the glass was limited to only a couple of white wines and two Cabs. Service was top notch. Get there before sunset and watch it. Two people with food and wine around $100USD
