Great choice for fresh seafood! Carlos and staff will take fishing by day and grill al gusto for you in the evening. Cueva del Pescador is a local favorite for Happy Hour.
Located Across from Akumal Bay in the Playa Ukana I. Open Lunch and Dinner Daily.

"Carlos and staff will make you a stunning seafood dinner! The baby lobster and grilled octopus are to die for! One heck of a Chicken lime soup as well for those who may be feeling a touch of Montezuma! The liquor flows freely and very generously I might add! I highly recommend the Bacardi Anejo con Agua Gasificado! Extra Lime."
