Absolute underrated Restaurant. The food is amazing, the service extremely friendly and the price is not higher than at other places. Give it a try when you’re passing it.

As always, this is our favorite place to eat in PA. Food is amazing, staff so friendly and ambiance romantic. We go at least once a week if not twice during our two month stay! Thank you Guillermo and Mahola!

A Must-Visit in Puerto Aventuras: Pelican Point Restaurant Excels Again! Pelican Point never disappoints! I had the pleasure of dining there again today, and it was a truly exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. For starters, I dove into the mussels in white wine. The flavor was absolutely incredible – a perfect balance of savory and herbaceous. The clams in their shells were equally delightful – the freshness shone through in every bite. But the real star of the show was the centollo crab for my main course. Spectacular doesn't even begin to describe it! The preparation was flawless, allowing the crab's natural sweetness to take center stage. To top it all off, I finished with a decadent chocolate mousse. It was the perfect ending to a truly memorable meal. This wasn't my first visit to Pelican Point – I first came in 2016, and it's become a must-do on every trip to Puerto Aventuras. The quality of the food is undeniable, and the flavors are truly mind-blowing. But it's not just the food; the service is outstanding as well. Guillermo, the owner, was fantastic – attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Expect to pay a premium for this kind of quality, but it's absolutely worth every penny. Pelican Point is a culinary gem in Puerto Aventuras, and I can't wait to return for another incredible meal on my next visit!

This place was fantastic! The service was phenominal! I pulled my hand fan out because I was very hot and the (possibly owner or manager?) came and brought a large fan and directed it towards our table without us even having to say a word (it was very refreshing). They had a live saxophone player and they brought cute little flower clips for all the women (it was almost Mother's day). I had some of the best food I had in Mexico here. The rolls they serve before dinner were all different types to satisfy many pallettes. They had vegetarian menu options and one vegan option but could be served a few different ways. I had what I would equate to fettuccine alfredo and it was wonderful. We also shared a dessert which was delicious and had a dessert coffee (also delicious). I normally remember the names of the food/drink but it took me a month to write this review. I had a hard time finding it again on Google Maps but this experience was so wonderful I wanted to make sure they got this review! I will also shout out the gentleman that served us was so wonderful and accommodating, I would highly recommend this place to anyone! I will mention, this is a very nice so expect to pay for it. It is definitely on the higher price spectrum but you get what you pay for!

Whilst spending 8 days in Puerto Aventuras we tried many of the best restaurants. There are many good options but, standing out far and above the rest, was Pelican Point. After being warmly welcomed by Guillermo, the host and owner, he brought refreshments and proceeded to explain the fresh fare and preparation. He is extremely knowledgeable and entertaining and left us, mouths watering, wanting one of everything. We started with the delicious Caesar Salad for two, made tableside. Next we had two of the three fresh catch entrees, Wahoo and Grouper. These dishes, prepared as recommended by Guillermo, were exceptional. There were also excellent shellfish and meat / poultry choices on his extensive menu. Excellent bar with a great wine and cocktail selection. The restaurant is in a beautiful setting. Great ambience with marina views. Highly recommend Pelican Point as one of your finest dinner choices in PA!
