Mahahual Restaurant suggestions?

The Hubs and I are planning to get out of Costa Maya and experience the town of Mahahual. It's the only day we don't have an excursion booked. I've read a lot of ppl like Tropicante. What about the Krazy Lobster? Looking for suggestions for a chill, relaxing day with my toes in the sand and not a lot of pushy peddlers...

I can highly suggest Tropicante. Steve, the owner, is a wonderful host and the place is great. Good food, great service! It's the only place we go when we're there on a cruise or when we're staying there on vacation.

Another vote for Tropicante. The vendors walk up and down the beach non stop selling their stuff.

Yet another vote for Tropicante! (y)

Tropicante

I also think this is a terrific choice.

Tropicante is the best. Steve makes sure your day is enjoyable and is such a nice guy!

Haven't been to this site but be careful we watch a French family try to dispute a bill and then found that they upped the prices on us too. We order guac and thought it was pricey at $10. Turned out to be $25 because without telling us chips were not included. They brought them and we ate them. Didn't find out they were $15 additional. Not sure how you would eat guac without them. The beer were $5 on the menu still we assumed that soda would be that or less. The price was not on the menu and they ended up charging me $10 each. We liked Costa Maya but hesitate to book cruises that stop there now.

What restaurant was this? We went to Krazy Lobster and it was sooo good and so cheap! $1 Coronas!! $8/ 3 HUGE shrimp tacos so big I couldn't eat them all, and I'm a big eater. Prices were cheap on everything else too.

Just got back from Mahahual and the Krazy Lobster was outstanding, would highly recommend this place.

Another vote for Tropicana. Email Steve and he will save you loungers😊

I love the Tropicante. Food and drinks were inexpensive. Great beach. Also, we did beach massages in the hut above the Tropicante.

Tropicante or Fernando's 100% Agave! Last time I was in Costa Maya on the Navigator Fernando's was closed for the day, so I went to Tropicante. Fernando's is usually my top recommendation... but it's not always open. Both are great. As others have said.. Steve is the best!!!

I did a review of Krazy Lobster on our blog here: https://gotravellife.com/2018/01/03/about-us/

4/18/18 3:30p est, WordPress is having issues- should be back up here shortly per support

A couple notes, we found it difficult to navigate our way OUT of the Costa Maya port- you're trapped in there a bit, but keep pressing on and you'll find the exit- they'd prefer you just stay there :)

Once we got to Mahahual, we went to Krazy and had a few hours for lunch, beers and beach time. There are TONS of choices and yes they do mess with the bill- so pay attention. Lots of shopping in the area as well and taxi's were plentiful both there and back. Pics and more details in the blog.

Enjoy!
