Pelican Point
Located at the edge of the marina of Puerto Aventuras, this sumptuous restaurant is a stage not to be missed. The careful decoration based on wood, the quality of the materials, and the proximity with the edge of water, make of this framework an ultra romantic place. The kitchen is largely up to the frame and the attention that Guillermo, the owner, brings to his customers, by coming to each table to present the menu. This one is varied and very worked, that it is on the fish (fished the same day!), the shellfish or the meat.Bahía Xcacel Mz 23-Local 1, Marina, 77750 Puerto Aventuras, Q.R.
