Restaurante Las Estrellas — Restaurant in Tulum

Absolutely love this place. We were here last week during Hurricane Zeta in which the entire hotel zone of Tulum closed by 2pm and we’re evacuated by 7pm. The team at this restaurant/hotel was BEYOND accommodating and provided us with an extremely fun and safe way to ride out the hurricane.

Quite a disappointing dinner experience tonight. We chose this restaurant based on its proximity to our hotel and some nice reviews. The menu was very limited with outrageous prices - we paid $80 USD for a paella for 2. Like seriously?!? It was mostly rice with maybe 5 shrimps, a few clams, some mussels and limited vegetables.

The waiter tried to upsell on everything and made us feel quite rushed. Definitely will not be back here and would not recommend...

This spot was fantastic and totally worth a 20min walk from our hotel! Excellent, fresh food, gorgeous view both in the daytime and in the evening. Our 5 year old enjoyed the food here as well.

The staff was excellent, the chef chatted with us one evening and it was a pleasure to talk with him. This spot is not a loud place- it's got a very pleasant, chilled out atmosphere. We enjoyed...
