We stayed in Akumal from April 27 thru May 4 and ate here three times. Two people in our group are vegetarians and had vegetarian fajitas that they raved about. The vegetarian fajitas are not on the menu but our vegetarian friends just asked the waiter and he recommended them. Two other people in our group had the bacon wrapped... More

We like going to La Lunita for lunch as the menu is much more reasonable and the view of Half Moon Bay is amazing. The waiter today presented us with dinner menus at lunch. As we've been there before I asked for the lunch menus; he acted like he didn't understand and I went asked the bartender. I'm not sure... More

Sitting outside under the stars just a few feet away from the Caribbean Sea....heaven! The food is delicious and the wine very nice. I've eaten here many times and have enjoyed the improvements made through the years. One of them being a bit more food in each entree. The service is quite good and will continue to return each visit... More

Loved the atmophere here, on the beach, quiet. Perfect place for a quiet romantic meal with your honey. The food was excellent. We went just for oysters one night (if you like oysters don't miss this) and had full meals another night. I tried chargrilled octopus, which felt a little risky, but OMG I had no idea octopus could taste... More

This is a beautiful, romantic and magical spot to dine. Great attention to the room; hard to imagine a more perfect setting for dinner with the candle light everywhere, tables in the sand and the waves of the ocean as your background music. The menu is thoughtful and has interesting choices. The beast of it all is poor consistency. We... More

I have to say I was pretty dissapointed with this place. We were really looking forward to a nice dinner for our last night in Akumal. We had seen a menu so we knew the place was on the pricey side but figured we would splurge a bit. When we arrived, they told us they were out of beef and... More

We enjoyed La Lunita as it was very close to our condo and had a slightly more upscale vibe then the other spots we tried for not that much more money. I had a lovely paella with inky squid and we also shared a delicious flan for desert. The atmosphere was nice and it's right on the beach in half... More

We ate here several years ago for dinner, and the food was fantastic, but the service was slow and the prices high for what it was. Now we go for lunch and its great: attentive service, quiet, and elegant. We order a few small plates, a beer or cocktail, and relish the privacy compared to Akumal beach. The food is... More

We initially just got drinks so that we could sit at the restaurant's spot on the beach. We then decided to have lunch - good menu - fresh, tasty choices and great atmosphere for a meal and drinks at the beach.

Had another wonderful evening here. The atmosphere in the evening is out of this world peaceful, and the service is great. The coconut shrimp on a box is still to die for, the drinks great and the fish dinners still wonderful..keep up the great work...I'll be back soon!
