Gorgeous setting but service is atrocious. Clear lack of training. We live nearby and we never ever see same waitstaff. They’re all untrained and unfamiliar w their menu. Food was overpriced and mediocre. Sad but I probably won’t be back despite amazing location

We went with another couple for dinner. We had Nachos for appetizer, Three of us ordered Steak Fajitas and one ordered a Tuna Tostada. The food & service was awesome on that breezy summer afternoon. It overlooks the beach, which is a bonus!

Sat outside. Beautiful view of ocean. Delicious cocktails. Food tasty. Service great. Very pricey like everything at this hotel so come prepared to spend $$.

Amazing location with great food!

Great location, decent food, dramatically over-priced. Party of 4, drinks (for 3) and dinner shouldn’t cost $350 for avg Mexican food. Waiter (who was very attentive) upsold us on premium tequila w/o mentioning price. Got the bill and the tequila upgrade alone was $75 itself (3 shots). Too mix in an already $18 Margarita?! Great for overpriced drink and view. Stay away for dinner.

We were in no rush. But a quick meal of tacos and fajitas turned into a two hour affair. Considering how empty the restaurant was it made it even more surprising. Our server never checking in didn’t help. When the food did finally arrive one of the orders was incorrect. Too pricey for such a poor experience.

Got to enjoy a late night dinner at Cantina. It’s perfectly situated right in front of the ocean with a great selection of options. I love the fish tacos and tuna tostada.

The location and view from the restaurant is lovely. The service is great, if at times a bit slow. But the food was terrible. We ordered the tuna tostada, and was brought tuna that was definitely not fresh, and completely coated in dressing, a clear attempt to disguise the putrid taste. The waitress was apologetic and embarrassed, and the rest of the evening enjoyable, so I figured I'd give the restaurant another chance the following evening. It was a mistake...both fish dishes we ordered were not fresh, and the other diner in our party received a different dish from what he ordered, with no explanation from our waitress. We weren't in the mood to make a fuss, so we don't know if the restaurant would have fixed the issue if we had told them...but bad fish two nights in a row means I won't be returning to this restaurant anytime soon.

Service wasn’t all That great and food was average Thought the drinks were going to be better and they were going to have more options The waiter didn’t know anything about tequila

Ambiance is wonderful! Food and service were good. Guacamole and the crispy shrimp appetizer were amazing. The shrimp fajita was average and somewhat tasteless but generous portion. The expensive drinks and water were served in plastic for the prices so a bit disappointing. I assume because of its proximity to the pool and beach areas. We will return for the ambiance.
