We ate,here twice during a recent visit to the area. We came back for the tables overlooking the bay and the great food. Besides, we didn't save room for the chocolate lave cake the first night and it was well worth coming back for. Staff friendly and helpful.

The BEST food in Akumal!! We ate a most and by far if you are looking for high quality wounderful tasting food and service this is the place to go. We had filets and we love our beef in Wisconsin and the quality and tenderness was just as wounderful as some of our great steak resturants here. I also had... More

Handy open-air restaurant located on the beach 150 feet down the sand from Las Casitas. Great place to walk over to for lunch or casual dinner, especially if you have young children as they can play safely on the beach while you eat. Standard fish, shrimp, rice and beans at standard area prices, with some American fare (basic pizza, etc).... More

I've been to the beach bar several times and have never been disappointed. The location on the beach is wonderful, the food is good, a little pricier than other places, but you pay for the location. It's worth it. What I feel compelled to rave about, though, are the chips. Who would have thought that the lowly tortilla chip could... More

4 for dinner. $160 with 2-glasses wine and 3-beers for the table. Lots of table side preparations by non-skilled waiters. Grouper was over-sauces. Shrimp scampi was okay but the waiter burned the garlic. Ceviche was good ($13). We sat inside due to breeze but they close the doors whenever they need to flambé so it got very hit inside. I'm...

Perfect location, could not be better. Service was good when busy, very good to excellent when a litter slower. Prices were on the upper end, but you are literally on the beach. Perhaps one of the better beaches in this part of the world. Happy hour is only 1 hour, that could be 30 minutes too long if your having... More

I ordered the butterflied grilled shrimp and my partner ordered the sea scallops. The shrimp were okay served with grilled vegetables and rice. The sea scallops were barely warm when served, not very appealing. The atmosphere was stuffy and not enjoyable. We've been here in the past and had a totally different experience....

Lol-Ha consists of a beach bar, fine dining restaurant and an ice cream shop. The fine dining restaurant is our favourite. Every time we are in Akumal we book to have dinner there at least once - ask for a seat out on the patio as it is beautiful to hear the surf, see the moon and stars and the... More

It was my husband's birthday Friday April 12th and we went to the Lol-Ha dinning room for dinner. The service was wonderful. The staff was accommodating and friendly. Sam (bar manager) was extra kind to us and made sure we had the very best experience and we did! We sat at a lovely table at the front of the restaurant... More

While we did not eat here, we certainly enjoyed a few (or more) delicious marg's, daq's and beers. The drinks were cold, the service was quick and it provided a relaxing stop in our travels. Great place for people watching and the home of the web cam that I stare at like a nut for most of the year!
