This is one of the best places to get seafood in Cancun. The service was great and the food was phenomenal! Very pricey, but well worth the money! They even have a small day care for your children while you eat!

If you are looking to sit on the lagoon in a your private palaypa watching the sunset, this is your place. Atmosphere is outstanding. Service is more than exceptional. Manager came by several times to check with us. Presentaion and food was a 4.7 out of 5. We felt prices were a little high but we would return again. Very... More

Just a wonderful meal, fresh fish, great service and desserts! Such a pretty room with a view of the lagoon. Priced so well for the dining experience. I would love to eat there again.

This restaurant was very close to our hotel (Gran Melia) and my husband and I stopped in the first night to grab an appetizer and drinks. I tried the Fred's Mojito and it was the best mojito I have ever had. Perfectly balanced, it was refreshing and fantastic - I really wish I could make at home. In fact, three... More

Fred's is located in the hotel zone, so of course it is built to take in tourists. It is a formal dining restaurant that doesn't require you to be formally dressed. The Pros: It is beautiful inside. Even if you don't have a view of the lagoon, it is a well appointed place. The service was great, a waiter and... More

Terrific place...I forget my correct credit card at the Royal Maya. I started with a drink when I realized I only had the Maya card. Told the waiter who asked the manager what to do. He said "no problem".... Eat first, bring card back later. We ate, drank, and no check presented. We left, went back to hotel, took the... More

I'm from Hong Kong and seafood is my favorite. In Fred's, you won't be disappointed. Location: in hotel zone and easy to access, with outdoor tables and seaview Service: excellent Food: grilled seafood is their specialty esp grilled lobster Don't miss the bread, they will give you "shrimp sauce" and this is really great.

Another posh lagoon restaurant in the Hotel Zone, which falls into the same trap as many others in the same area: expensive but unnecessarily complicated and not very good tasting food served with a lot of flair. It's educational to observe how even a simple green salad can be so annoyingly messed up by adding a lot of almonds, blood-orange... More

Great food! The best piece of fish I've ever had. Service was a little too "close". They were hoovering a little too much!
