My family went in here because the birthday woman was craving tacos! This place was great. They have big tables to accommodate large groups like ours. I think between all of us, someone had everything; Tacos, Burritos, Bowls, Fries, pork, beef, chicken, fish. No complaints. We had a round of Margaritas, which were a bit on the sour side for most of us, but still good. When we first arrived there were some games going on, so the place was quite busy. It was also Karaoke night, and one of my cousins went up to sing. It's a fun place. It's all the way at the far end of the walkway, but worth the walk!

One of the best restaurants in town. A little of the beaten path, but well worth the walk. Fish is always prepared well and with a wide variety of presentations. Staff is attentive and friendly.

The food was fantastic and the beers were ice cold. Staff was very friendly and helpful as well. The owner Gail (Gailita) even gave us a ride back to our resort because our cart rental cancelled due to an emergency! Overall a great experience! The only thing I would change is the fact that we didnât find this place sooner!!

6. Restaurant Bar El Ultimo Maya
Reviewed By J2914YCjanem
We saw a huge group of young folks here so thought it had to be good. Also some locals. It was good. We had two soups that were really good. Fish tacos that were unadorned. A pork dish that was ok. Margarita was very good. We like to support local places that arenât overly touristy and weâre glad we came here. Reasonable cost. Cash only

Reviewed By Chris C
This restaurant was just up the beach from where we were staying. It is located right on the sand, but also has a pool to sit in while you're enjoying your food/drinks. Employees were friendly and efficient and the food was excellent! We particularly enjoyed the shrimp stuffed avocado (a whole avocado cut in half and stuffed with cocktail shrimp, pico de gallo, and sweet cocktail sauce). We also had the fresh fish of the day (mahi mahi), which was delicious, too.

This is one of the nicer (and a bit pricier) restaurants in Akumal. It was recommended to us by a couple who owned a condo there so we gave it a try. My wife absolutely loved her meal as did my son. And I mean really loved it. Myself, not so much. Nothing bad mind you just not great. I told my family that my rating would reflect more of their opinion than my own! It's just off the beach in a wonderful location (just follow the signs, parking is FREE so don't be taken in by someone asking for money and you'll be fine). Service was great and we'd all come back again.Thank you for your candid review and your focus on the positive! We really hope that you return and that what you order be more to your liking! There are people outside our gates that try to charge for either services or for the outside parking lots. Please be aware of that. If you are coming to one of our establishments, parking is free inside the property. Thank you again!

Followed some recommendations from the web to this place in the old village across the highway and enjoyed a relaxed first experience of Mexican dinner food. I had delicious coconut shrimps and a local beer. Nice chilled atmosphere in a real, non-touristy part of Akumal.

We were staying at Akumal Bay Beach and Wellness Resort and walked to La Buena Vida. It is a truly amazing bar and restaurant. The staff are great and the drinks choice plentiful. The menu is mouth watering and reasonably priced. Highly recommended making the effort to visit. You will not be disappointed.
