Taverna Akumal — Restaurant in Quintana Roo

There is no better place to dine in Akumal. Really!! The food it's very tasty, yummy and especially it has the real Italian taste.

The dishes are presented in a noble and charming way starting from simple cocktail (try the grapefruit negroni!!)

The staff takes care of you fully with smile and kindness. An example of it was the Christmas ave day where me and my wife went to Taverna to have dinner, but it was a bit late.
