I want to start by saying me and my husband travel all over the world and have had some amazing food from all over and this place was top notch. My food was extremely good I ordered the scallops and we got the ceviche as an appetizer. Everything was so good and the service was amazing but the highlight was my husband’s face after taking a bite of his meal. I knew immediately he was over the moon. He got the bone marrow and octopus tacos and said it was the best meal he’s ever had in his life which is a huge compliment. We definitely recommend.

Food was amazing and our waiter was friendly. The food came out decently fast and it was so good. They have a pretty big menu and lots of tasty options to choose from. The setup of the restaurant is very nice and scenic. It’s right next to the water and they built a dock so people could enjoy the view while they eat. They bring out some bread and special butters as a starter. I got a grouper filet which was about 475 pesos. For the atmosphere I put a 4 star because of mosquitoes. I know they can’t control that but it was just annoying. Our waiter actually gave us some bug spray without us asking which was nice. They also had signs for crocodiles and said that they usually see it 4 times a week. Overall fun experience and good food 😄

Very beautiful environment , the dish tastes good. Very nice! Alberto May provides us good service. It is great lunch. If eating at night I think would be better.

This restaurant is a must when you go to Cancun! Beautiful waterfront restaurant with a 1 million dollars view! priceless sunsets! The food is amazing! The presentation of their dishes are unique and the combination of flavors make honor to the highest quality of the mexican cuisine. The staff very professional and I want to thank you Luis Miguel and Antonio who made our night the best night in Cancun. They were very professionals as well, very knowledgeable of the menu and always helpful with our needs. I highly recommend this restaurant. ❤️

The place is amazing, wonderful decoration and good atmosphere. However, I am really disappointed about the taste of the food, it's not Mexican at all, much too adapted to the tourists probably. It's more ''fish and chips'' with sweet sauce flavor in both dishes that we tried. Not salty enough, no spice at all... well that's more a tourist attraction than a Mexican restaurant.

Fantastic dining experience on the water. The seafood selection is amazing. We got to see a crocodile under the restaurant. If the breeze is low there will be mosquitos. Apply bug repellent beforehand!

One of the better tourist restaurants in the Hotel Zone. Atmosphere is excellent - book a table at sunset! Food was good, but with some execution errors. The shrimps were rubbery and the Himalayan salt plate was somewhat gimmicky (Image). We also got a fish dish, and while the fish was delicious, the vegetables looked like they came out of the frozen aisle of the supermarket. The ceviche was lovely!

Gorgeous spot on the water serving top notch seafood. We went twice and both times were excellent!! Would highly recommend the scallops aguachile which came with a delicious sauce. Some practical notes, service can be on the slow side, and the prices are in the mid to high range. They also have guarded parking just outside which is handy.

It's bittersweet writing this review. I don't know when I will ever be back that way. The longing to spend an entire evening in such a lovely setting will be with me for a very long time. We stayed across the street at Cancun Plaza. Navio's is a secluded gem of fine dining on the water. We just needed a bite before bed and it was this romantic haven! I imagine sunsets over the water are exquisite. Thank you for the elegant service. It's been so long since I've felt indulged. The cuisine and service were superb!

Great restaurant on the water close by to a few hotels. Very pleased with the service and the beautiful dockside dining experience. The prices are pretty comparable to ones you'd find in America, so no complaints there. They tend to overcook filets though for the tuna steak so if you want medium, then probably ask for medium rare and you'll get that. The complimentary bread and chips are pretty nice, and their tap water didn't cause any of our group and stomach issues (gringo/tourists here...). Didn't need a reservation to get a spot both of the times that my party dined here during the course of our trip. We were also really impressed with the live music performance (violin) that they had going on! Definitely recommend stopping by this location if you are staying at any of the resorts within a 0.5 mile radius from it (we were at the Westin Resort).

We enjoyed Navios so much that we came here two nights in a row! TL;DR - This restaurant offers charming waterside vibes that are both elegant and romantic during sunset. The seafood is fresh, service is on point, and the prices aren't too crazy. I really enjoyed the atmosphere here as it was a cool evening with a warm breeze during sunset. We put on bugspray after reading other Yelp reviews, so happily didn't get bitten. On both days we ordered fish and steak, along with a couple drinks. The food wasn't mind-blowing but it was indeed tasty. The cocktails weren't very strong but were quite aesthetic. We didn't have to wait very long either, so felt good about the efficiency of service. All in all a solid 4/5 stars! Come here for a date night or ritzy night out, and don't forget to come before sunset!

I reaaallly wanted to love this place, as it was well dated and the space is actually so pretty. But the food... it was a miss. The octopus seafood entree was better than ok, but slightly overcooked. The salad was great. Everything else was really overcooked. Ceviche was super rubbery and chewy - almost like Laffy Taffy, if you know what that is. Everyone who tried it agreed it was pretty bad. Service was ok; they were a bit pushy about ordering whole bottles of wine and extra drinks, which we didn't cave into. :) The best thing about this place is definitely the cute outdoor space. Come for the ambience, not necessarily the food.

Amazing meal with stunning backdrop and impressive, immersive scenery. I cannot convey how stunning and elegant this restaurant is. After 4 days of boring all inclusive hotel food Navios really shown through with its mastery of seafood and beautifully plated dishes. The beef carpaccio came on an enormous plate and was delectable, just the right amount of saltiness and the added Parmesan worked great as a pairing. The grilled octopus was easy to cut, like butter, so fresh and tasty not at all rubbery or overcooked. The sweet potato garnish was delicious. The lobster tacos were really good as well, could really taste the chunks of lobster. Get the pineapple crème brûlée, it was the most delicious crème brûlée I have ever had, the presentation was fantastic, and the dessert could feed like 5 people.

I came to have dinner with my family; however, our family ended up being the dinner. Please walk over to OXXO, as it's within walking distance, and provide your customers with good bug spray--not the cheap green bottle you currently offer. The food was good and had lots of flavor; however, the constant feeling of being poked by mosquitoes made it difficult to enjoy. Also, have your waiters be more professional, as our family speaks Spanish and could understand their negative gestures. We were there Tuesday night for dinner, and the waiter was demanding about receiving a tip. I left him a $20 bill only because I didn't have smaller change. Vine a cenar con mi familia, sin embargo, terminamos siendo nosotros la cena. Por favor, caminen a OXXO, ya que está a poca distancia, y proporcionen a sus clientes un buen repelente para insectos, no la botella verde barata que ofrecen. La comida estaba buena y tenía mucho sabor; sin embargo, la constante sensación de ser picados por los mosquitos hizo difícil disfrutarla. Además, pidan a sus meseros que sean más profesionales, ya que nuestra familia habla español y pudo entender sus gestos negativos. Estuvimos allí el martes por la noche para cenar, y el mesero fue insistente respecto a recibir propina. Le dejé un billete de 20 dólares únicamente porque no tenía cambio más pequeño.

This venue has the best dinning view especially around sunset. Reservations is needed as it's a popular venue for dinner due to its location but tasty food and service as well. Nothing disappoints here. Gabriel was awesome with taking care of us. Especially with nut allergies they were very careful to handle cross contamination. We had the fried snapper in garlic and man it was SO good. This was recommended by the manager and surely didn't disappoint. It was marinated in lime and garlic and was extremely flavorful. We also had a the tuna steak with veggie and it was seared to perfection. We stopped by here twice. Guava cheesecake was interesting it was tangy but good. Wasn't my favorite but I ate it . Venue is clean, everyone here is awesome. Highly recommend this place.

The service was amazing! They were super busy when we went for dinner but they kept full attention on us and kept checking on us constantly. Really appreciate that!! The atmosphere was very relaxed and enjoyable. Not too dark but not too much light...I personally liked it very much! There was a young lady playing beautifully violin when we first got in. Our food came out in less than 20 minutes and each item was delicious! We enjoyed our time and meal here & would definitely go back.

I was greeted and shown to my table. Beautiful views as most of the seating is on the socks overlooking the beautiful sunset. The waitstaff was not as attentive as the other places I've been out here. However, the food was so delicious! I enjoyed the truffle risotto which was shrimp and Scallops over a bowl of cheesy truffle risotto. They did acknowledge that I was celebrating my birthday and sang. It ended better than it started.

We ate here tonight. We are staying close by so it was just a short walk for us. I made a 6:00 reservation so we could watch the sunset. The atmosphere was really nice. We had a table out on the furthest pier. The service was alright. There was some initial confusion in taking our order, or more specifically not taking it but taking our menus away. So getting an order in took a while. Once we did though, the food came out quickly. We are nondrinkers and they do have an NA beer here, Heineken 0.0 I had the lobster tacos and my BF had coconut shrimp. Both were good. We didn't have dessert but did order two cappuccinos which I wouldn't recommend doing. They were barely warm and almost entirely milk. We always have coffee after dinner at home and we shouldn't have tried to pull that here lol. The bill was $1600 pesos, or roughly $80 US. A nice evening on the water though for sure.

06/24/24 While attending wedding in Cancun we decided to try Mexican seafood restaurant off the property. What an amazing property from the walkway to restaurant. It has a chic, romantic air with the dim lights. There are section where you can sit on the deck above the water. A bit scary as there is a crocodile/alligator that's lives in the water. (Couldn't remember which one). Staff is amazing. Food and drinks pretty good. Would definitely recommend evening to enjoy the sunset.

I visited Navíos on my honeymoon and absolutely loved it! The space is on the water and very open. We were greeted with chips and a trio of salsas, and we ordered the navíos ceviche as an appetizer. All were delicious! I had the lobster tacos and was surprised to see that they were served hot on a skillet. The pickled onions were an excellent touch! My husband had the tuna steak, and it was out of this world! We were too full for dessert, but we did indulge in a couple of cocktails. We were served frozen cocktails as a welcome drink (courtesy of our resort) and I also ordered a gin cocktail with cucumber and cardamom seeds. Both were delicious! I'm not sure when we'll find ourselves in Cancun again, but when we do, navíos is at the top of our list!

Went for a mini trip to Cancun from Tulum and stopped by this restaurant which is located on a river. The ambiance is nice and cute with outdoor and indoor seating. 10/10 We stopped here for a quick bite in the afternoon I've heard it's pretty during sunset but we had to leave Cancun before that time. First we were served complimentary banana chips with three dips: a habanero garlic oil, tamarind sauce, and avocado sauce which was the best out of all three. The chips were very tasty but I didn't understand the concept of habanero garlic oil and tamarind sauce with those chips. 7/10 We ordered fish ceviche, fire shrimp, and lychee martini. The martini was refreshing and light. 10/10 The fish ceviche was average and so was the fire shrimp. 5/10 The service was excellent 10/10 the whole place was clean and had a refreshing scent even though it was on a river that can have mosquitoes and some odor but it was well maintained and the bathrooms were very clean too they were a bit small but were clean. It costed us $75 USD and we found that very expensive and not worth it. If I want to have a few drinks with a nice sunset view I might go here when I'm in Cancun but I did not find the food worth eating at all with the high cost.

Beautiful restaurant right over the lagoon. Loved the private seating for 2 on the bridges with lights hanging above. They had a violinist playing while we ate which really added to the beautiful ambiance. The service was great. Carlos and William made sure we were taken care of. Both were very attentive and friendly. We were celebrating my husbands birthday and the greeted us with tamarindo margaritas and then at the end of the night surprised him with a dessert and fun serenade with a traditional Spanish birthday song. The food was also very good. So many seafood options. We started off with a navíos ceviche and cava salad, both were very good. Nice combination of flavors. For our main course we shared the seafood grill. It was delicious and very generous. We could not finish all of the food. Great place for a special occasion. You will not be disappointed

The best meal I have ever had in Mexico and probably a top 10 overall dinning experience. Recognition to our waiter Quinto who was fantastic, and the entire friendly staff. Restaurant sits just off the harbor with beautiful views, and is a giant Tiki, but this is the most exotic tiki I have ever had the please of dinning at. The food was of course equal to the views and service with everything we had on multiple days being spectacular!

we enjoyed this place. The lobster tacos were delicious. You get a fair amount of lobster The service was nice, and all of the staff were very friendly. The place itself is set on the water and perfect for a good sunset day. I recommend finding a reservation before the sunsets. There is parking, but it is very limited. The red bus will let you off near here and it's close to a few resorts, depending on where you're staying worth the walk if you're close enough.

My friend and I had a delightful last dinner here at NAVIOS, which was only made better by the wonderful service from Carlos and Juan. Carlos and Juan took great care of us and made this last meal so memorable. They offered great recommendations and generally provided good service. The restaurant is ridiculously beautiful - it sits on the water and I would love to come back during the day or for sunset (maybe next time I come to Cancun). We got the Navios ceviche and the whole fried hogfish. Both were so good and the menu is full of really interesting things that I would love to work my way through and sample. The hogfish (boquinete) was so well seasoned and a great portion to share for two. We also got complimentary bread with cilantro butter and another spread I can't remember but was also fun and interesting. I am generally skeptical of expensive places in the Hotel Zone but this meal was very much worth it and I would absolutely come back again. Thanks Carlos and Juan!

made a reservation on line and came here with my family of 6. we were seated at our own section on the water. very beautiful views. seafood soup - very fishy and inedible bone marrow - so buttery and delicious skirt steak - pretty good ceviche - I don't like ceviche but my husband ate the whole plate grilled octopus - good but I don't think you need this and the bone marrow fish tacos - I don't remember these but they were a good appetizer

It had just stormed hard, so not many were out dining. We braved the wet street, and I was pleasantly surprised with this gem on our side of the hotel strip. Our hotel isn't central to the shopping or the main hotel area and we are luckily to have this so close. The ground and beautiful, and the service that evening was great as they weren't busy due to the rain that just ended. Everyone enjoyed their food, and I'll be back for the lychee martini!!

Navios was an amazing experience! We were staying at the Westin and a perk was welcome drinks that were served within minutes of us being seated! The service was amazing and the tuna steak was fresh and delicious! Pictured below with plenty of sides! The restaurant is located on the lagoon side and on the water. It's a beautiful restaurant!

Good Food, But Portions Need Improvement We had a nice dinner at Navios, but there were a few issues that could be improved. My shrimp dish had great flavor--the chipotle sauce was spicy and delicious--but unfortunately, the shrimp were overcooked and tough. The green rice portion was too small, leaving me with half of my shrimp and no rice to go with them. Doubling the rice would have made the dish much more satisfying. My partner ordered the fettuccine with salmon, which tasted great, but again, the portion was off. There was plenty of sauce and fish left, but not enough pasta to finish the dish properly. We had to ask for extra bread just to make use of the remaining sauce, which was odd since bread didn't come with the pasta in the first place. Overall, the food was good, the flavors were spot on, and the salmon was cooked perfectly, but the portion sizes need some adjustment to feel like a well-balanced meal. Would consider coming back, but hoping for better portioning next time!

This has to be the best restaurant in Cancun I think it's humanely impossible to beat it. From the moment our Uber pulled I know this was gonna be different. We walked down the path to this restaurant. No reservations thinking hey just a mediocre restaurant close to the water. Instantly seated IN THE PERFECT seat outside on the water as the sunset ! Saxophone player killing it as we walked by to our table. The chef in this restaurant should make a million dollars a month. It's insane how good this food is. When the onions carrots have the flavor of a main dish! Even the foil has flavor!! I could go on all day but this place is nothing short of amazing!

We came to this place unexpectedly,, we're looking around near in our hotel to celebrate my son 16th birthday. We're looking for somewhere near to eat because the next day we need to wake up early. So we want walking distance so we can come back right away. This place is amazingly nice.. you won't believe the view inside, and food tastes really fresh seafood. We order tartar tuna, carpaccio, shrimp coconut, ceviche navios, bone marrow octopus, surf and turf, flank steak, black rice and garlic shrimp. All of this food is very flavorful This place is stunning. Food is very mouthwatering. And shout-out to our server Alberto May, who is very nice and helpful.

Didn't eat all day so came here for a late afternoon snack. This place is by the backwaters, so can't really beat that. It's almost an exclusively sea food only place, so if you like Mexican food, and see food and want some fusion come here. Both the cocktails we ordered were great. I got the spicy margarita and my wife got the spicy mezcalita. The margarita had a completely different flavor than I'm used to. Had a bit of a curry tinge TBH; loved it. The mezcalita was spicy and tamarindi.

Really great experience. Definitely were the only gringos there but felt totally safe. We enjoyed a few different tacos and even colder beer. That guac with the crickets? Legendary. I'd come back here just for that. Tacos were very generous and incredibly tasty. Also that salsa assortment they laid out? Unreal. The best salsa we had while in Cancun.

We came in for appetizers and drinks after getting a bit burnt out on all-inclusive hotel food. We wanted fresh seafood and beautiful lagoon views & Navios delivered! We loved the pink Conch & ceviche appetizers & I loved my mezcalita & pomegranate tequila which they didn't have at our hotel. The views & crocodile stories were phenomenal. Very expensive ($125 American) for snacks and drinks. Take the bus! Limited parking. The service was excellent.

Coming to Cancun and not experiencing this place is to have missed a fantastic opportunity to have shared with you loved ones a memorable moment. You'll be sitting in palapas or a boardwalk located on the water at the bay side with an outstanding service by Francisco y Gabriel. Great live jazz music an iconic sunset with a great chef commanding a unforgettable creations.. I would say that you have, you must visit this restaurant. Great food.. great service, great environment...

Husband and I can down to Cancun from Alaska on a little 5 day trip. This restaurant was one we could walk to from the Westin resort so that why we ended up here to get off property. The ambience is top notch, we came before sunset so there were a few tables occupied only. We were very early like 3:30-4 pm so I wasn't very hungry. We shared the Pescadillas (the ones that made them famous so they say) and the marlin tostadas. The pescadillas were the lobster tacos but they were like rollups and grilled. I didn't care for them because they had a lot of avacado in them, but nice chunks of lobster. I liked the lime rice that came with them. The marlin was a little hard to eat, it was piled high on top of a toasted cracker of some sort. Was good to try. They have a very good menu with Mexican/seafood mix. I had to get a virgin drink, so I got a strawberry daiquiri, my husband got a margarita. Not sure if it was here or our resort restaurant but he said one of them charged the same price for a drink without alcohol as one with. There is no drink menu that I could find so can't confirm. I didn't take any pictures! :( I would come back if we ever came to Cancun again.

Great bay view and fresh seafood! Make sure you make a reservation around sunset time to sit outside for a gorgeous view. Very romantic and delicious experience. The only downside is lots of bugs... make sure you are bug proofed/sprayed before you go, we were bitten all around *_* The drink was really tropical and delicious (and you likely get a free drink with staying at some of the resorts, make sure to ask), the servers are really nice. Seafood were fresh and cooked well. Ceviches are must have! The squid ink ceviche with mixed seafood was very refreshing and definitely unique. The garlic seafood was a bit too garlicky and salty, but had a great charred flavor. The mixed seafood rice was tomato based, very tasty, with juicy scallops and other varieties of seafood. Finished off with great dessert that's not overly sweet and with local charm - sweet corn cake that's hot from the oven paired with ice cream and dashes of tart jam, yum! Great choice for your family or date night in Cancun~

The food was beautiful. However, it tasted even better. We could tell that they took the time to make sure each dish was executed in a way that honored the ingredients that went into it. Even the french fries and fish sticks that they kindly made for our toddler were done with care and tasted delicious. (The other dishes we had were even better) Our party was a mix of local family and family from the USA. They took the time to make sure those of us who couldn't speak or read Spanish got a separate menu in English as we were seated. Alberto May, Jorge, & Cesar took great care of us all during the meal and were attentive to any refills or other needs we had. They were also kind enough to do their best to address each of us in English or Spanish as we needed. While we don't come back to visit family often, we know this will be one place we look forward to come back to next time we do.

I cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed this restaurant during my Cancún vacation! Highly recommend!!! We stumbled upon it while exploring Blvd Kulkukan near our resort and were drawn in by the romantic fairy lights down a winding path to the lagoon. The tables are hidden under bungalows built directly over the lagoon. You can watch tropical fish swim in and out from under the bungalows and we almost forgot to eat we were having so much fun watching pufferfish chase shrimp that were jumping across the water surface. The ambiance is romantic and magical - this is the sort of place built for a proposal. We loved it SO much that we went for dinner again the following night! Our first evening I got the coconut shrimp which was divine and came with this glorious fruity sauce. The second night I got the grilled octopus - it was decadent but the portion was huge. I typically am served just a single tentacle but this place gave me an entire small octopus! The menu does list ounces for each meat portion to help you understand how much food you are getting (I just didnt use it apparently!). We tried quite a few of their cocktails (all stellar!) and one mocktail (the lychee one) which was sooo good I could drink it every day. Both nights featured live performers playing an instrument to background instrumentals - they would walk around the paths between the bungalows.

One of our favorite restaurants in Cancun. The food and drinks were amazing and well worth it unlike a lot of the higher end restaurants in Cancun. The service was constant but not overbearing, server kept an eye out at all times. And then being over the water seeing the sunset was the cherry on top. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Food - Depending on what you order. Fried hogfish and coconut fish were delicious (excellent) and greatly presented. Pink conch ceviche was a large size but very chewy and just bland. I had two spicy margaritas which were based on hibiscus plus . Excellent. Service - very attentive and quick to clean things you may even need (good thing but made me upset to take my chili pepper away) Ambiance - on a water, sunset view, nice not over powerful music. Very romantic.

Navios might be the best restaurant in Cancun's peninsula. There are dreamy thatched cottages on the water linked by narrow walkways. The flowing white curtains flap gently in the breeze, and the lights glitter against the clear water below. Like the signs say, beware of alligators in the lagoon. We actually saw one of the prehistoric beasts. Grilled Octopus: The octopus is marinated in pickled chilies, then grilled and served with smashed sweet potatoes with honey and vegetables. Navios Ceviche: The house ceviche contains fish, shrimp, lime juice, oregano, mango, avocado, and cucumber. There is also an accompanying shot glass of clamato and oysters, which is rimmed with tajin. Black Aguachile: The raw shrimp, octopus, and squid are "cooked" in pickled tiger's milk, and served with squid ink, cucumbers, avocado, and cilantro.

This place delivered. It was absolutely amazing. The views are incredible, The service is great and the food is really amazing! Good: my girlfriend went with the grilled octopus season with Abigail bowl and she really enjoyed it. I'm not really big on seafood like that but I tried it and it was actually really good. So for someone who doesn't like seafood, that's a great indicator as to how really good the food is here. They were able to make me some steak tacos, which was amazing because I really didn't want seafood. The steak tacos were grilled to perfection as you can see in the pictures below. The food was top-notch. The views here are really relaxing, the service is great, the food is great, I will definitely come back when I'm in the area. This place is right across the street from my hotel as well. Definitely stop in and give them a try.

Still Great views and attentive friendly staff. Was looking forward to our 2nd visit Returned to disappointing meals for both of us. Shrimp (which we eat often) tasted "shrimpy" usually a sign of age

This restaurant was recommended by our hotel bar tender and we could not have been more pleased. We went without reservations and were seated inside. Shortly after being seated a beautiful woman appeared and played a lovely rendition of Hotel California on her violin along with many other popular tunes. The atmosphere is very romantic with lighting above the tables on the pier. We enjoyed our food so much we came back a second time and reserved a table over the water. Definitely recommend this gem.

Amazing Will go back again. Sea conch ceviche was amazing. Fried hogfish was spectacular. Service was first rates. Dining tables are on the water. If you are at an all-inclusive take a night off and go to Navios!
