Costa Mujeres (Cancun), Mexico
Rating8.2Adults Only
Rating8.0Adults Only
Rating8.3Multiple restaurants across the property including the Quinta Avenida street-of-dining concept. Buffet receives the most consistently positive reviews for variety. À la carte restaurants are more hit-or-miss. Long lines at bars and coffee stations are a recurring complaint — arrive early or use off-peak hours for the smoothest service.

A la carte, Varied options
Multiple casual dining and entertainment options along the resort's pedestrian street concept. The most distinctive feature of this property — varied evening atmosphere.
Asian Specialties
À la carte Italian dinner. Quality is mixed — some nights strong, others inconsistent.
Signature dishes: Teppanyaki
Vegetarian Cuisine, Catalan Food
À la carte Asian dinner. Mixed reviews.
Signature dishes: Typical 'coques de recapte' (Catalan flatbreads)
Grill, Steakhouse
À la carte Mexican. Better than the Italian for consistent quality according to most reviews.
Signature dishes: Select beef cuts
Italian Cuisine
Italian à la carte for dinner. Fresh pasta, Ossobuco alla Milanese, and wood-oven-adjacent dishes. Located on the Quinta Avenida corridor. No reservation required but subject to availability — go early in the evening.
Signature dishes: Italian delicacies
Traditional Mexican Cuisine
Mexican à la carte, dinner only, indoor and outdoor seating. The local cuisine option for guests who want Mexican dishes beyond the buffet's rotating specials. No reservation required.
Signature dishes: Traditional Mexican flavors
Peruvian Fusion Cuisine
Peruvian restaurant — the most distinctive cuisine concept on property. Ceviches and traditional preparations. Reservation recommended; this one draws guests who know what they're looking for.
Signature dishes: Delicious Peruvian cuisine
Exquisite Asian Cuisine
Southeast Asian à la carte dinner restaurant. Part of the property's broad cuisine rotation. Less documentation of signature dishes than other venues — ask the host what's freshest when you arrive.
Signature dishes: Exquisite Asian flavors
International & Local Buffet
The main international buffet for all three meals. Show cooking stations, live prep areas, and wide variety. Consistently the best-reviewed dining option at the property — if à la carte restaurants disappoint, come back here.
Signature dishes: Wood-fired pizza, Show-cooking specialties
Burgers
Casual burger spot on the Quinta Avenida. Good for a quick lunch or late snack without the formality of a restaurant. No reservation.
Signature dishes: Wide variety of burgers
International culinary offer, snacks
Street food stalls — tacos, grilled items, snacks. These are some of the best casual eating on the property and an effective pressure valve when the main buffet is crowded.
Snacks
Beach-adjacent snack bar. Good for a quick bite without leaving the beach or pool area. Saves a trip back to the main dining area at midday.
Sweet and Savory Crêpes
Sweet and savory crepes made to order. Located on the Quinta Avenida. Afternoon to evening operation. Quick, reliable, no reservation.
Signature dishes: Extensive variety of sweet and savory crepes
Coffee and tea specialties, small sweet and savory snacks, pastries
Specialty coffee and pastries. Note: guest reviews specifically call out coffee quality as a weak point — the espresso drinks don't meet expectations from a specialty cafe. Use it for pastries and the convenience of the Quinta Avenida location.
Signature dishes: Coffees, Teas, Pastries
Drinks service
Lobby lounge bar for pre-dinner cocktails and post-activity drinks. More relaxed than the pool bars; useful for guests who find swim-up bar scenes chaotic.
Drinks service, Disco
Sports programming and nightclub after hours. Opens late; doubles as the primary nightlife venue on property. Better for sports event viewing than as a club.
Drinks service
Two bar stations within the Quinta Avenida boulevard. Convenient for drinks between Quinta Avenida restaurant visits. Wait times here are shorter than the pool bars in peak hours.
Drinks service
Tequila-focused bar. Indoor lobby-adjacent. Good for guests interested in the breadth of the Mexican spirit portfolio.
Drinks service
General cocktail bar. Part of the pool and entertainment complex. Included drinks program.
Drinks service
Main pool swim-up bar, open during pool hours. Popular and can get crowded — the best strategy is to go between 10–11 AM before afternoon peak.
Drinks service
Second swim-up bar serving the relaxation pool area. Typically quieter than Bar Margarita.
Drinks service
Beachfront bar serving the beach area. Consistent service throughout the day; seating fills up during midday.
Natural fruit juices
Fresh fruit juice bar. Consistently positive in reviews — freshly blended juice is a meaningful alternative to the cocktail bars when you want something non-alcoholic or healthier.
Signature dishes: Natural fruit juices
Drinks service
Exclusive bar for Privileged-tier guests. Smaller, less crowded than the main bar options — one of the practical upsides of the Privileged upgrade.
Varied international and local dishes
24-hour room service included for Privileged guests. Limited menu but operational around the clock.
Gourmet, Fusion with Catalan flavors
Wide variety of international and Mexican cuisine. Consistently rated the best food experience on property — better quality than most Cancun all-inclusive buffets. Live cooking stations change daily.
Signature dishes: Calçots with Mexican romesco sauce, Cured snapper esqueixada, Artichoke in green pipian sauce, Socarrat rice, Fresa del Maresme
