Seafood dishes headline the experience at the Blue Lobster. Launched in 1996, this restaurant offers an extensive menu with traditional fare. Popular choices range from regional specials, such as parrillada, to surf and turf options like the shrimp and filet mignon with vegetables and baked potatoes. The Blue Lobster provides a charming atmosphere, whether a night with friends or that special someone. Guests get to enjoy their meal in an open-air surrounding decorated with tropical, thatched rooms. Order the seafood feast for a platter designed for two. Blue Lobster also offers happy hour and beer specials during the work week.

Our dinner reservations were not honored when we got there. We made them for 11pm and got there 15 minutes early, only to be told that the kitchen had closed. We had shown the hosts our Open Table reservation from the app... no apology, just told that "someone had made a mistake." If there was an issue with such a late reservation, why were we not told prior to going there? It would've been easier to make alternate arrangements elsewhere than going all that distance to be disappointed. We received confirmation notices, but apparently these aren't to be trusted. Why book a reservation at all?

I booked in advanced and didn’t realize they would have a fixed menu for New Year’s Eve so our options were limited. Also our table took a while to get ready. Food was good but nothing extraordinary, and the service felt rushed I guess because it was New Year’s Eve. We had way better food in other places.

Estaba con un nino y me tenia k haber avisado k era demasiada comida... pk pedí entrada y una langosta por cabeza.... en el fondo era porque estaban bien llenas... Me pareció caro por eso..... Tenía que haber pedido la mitad de la mitad y no me aconsejaron bien. Aunque fueron súper amables. Por lo demás langosta top y las mejores margueritas de toda Riviera Maya. Tip ya estaba incluido... no habitual en Mejico ( como en Usa) Gracias por todo. Volveré!!
