Punta Bonita — Restaurant in Quintana Roo

I give him credit for making our lunch an...

The other dishes from other parties were undecidedly underwhelming. The hotel is undergoing construction (removal of the Palapa built by Philip Green for his private party a couple of years ago & a useless eyesore to be replaced with another pool). However the service as always here (we were here last year as well) was...
