Welcome to the Cancun Dining Guide. This guide is a result of the cumulative judgements of many owners, exchangers and guests at the Royal Resorts of Cancun. You will find here the name, location, rating, type of food and some menus for many of Cancun's finest restaurants. Any feedback from visitors on Cancun restaurants is welcome. This site was set up in July of 2002 and is just in its infancy. I hope to soon add more narrative reviews and menus for some of the restaurants listed. Please send any comments, reviews or subjective opinions of restaurants to: tonyg@cancundiningguide.com.
Visitors to Cancun's non all-inclusive resorts and hotels should check out the Entertainment Plus 2X1 card. I have used the card myself and highly recommend it. Information is at: www.entertainment-plus.net/ and includes discounted trips, hotel reservations and airport transportation. For more information and a great rental site for the world class Royal Resorts of Cancun please visit Mexicondo! |
