Located at the Xaloc Resort, this seaside restaurant offers its diners a little slice of paradise. Focusing on the region's fishing history, Maja'che's signature is seasonal, fresh catches that also honor the hotel's concentration of sustainability. Fish is represented in most of the dishes, including a shrimp risotto, and the menu changes daily. Meat and local vegetable dishes are also available, and each meal is a multi-course affair, from soup through to dessert.

La Cocay Restaurant Cozumel
La Cocay is Mediterranean-inspired cuisine in an intimate, tropical setting, reviewed by Frommer's as the "most original cooking" in Cozumel. The interior boasts warm, low lighting, while the outside seating twinkles under the glow of white string lights.
The menu features several tapas options, handmade pastas, as well as a variety of fresh fish dishes. The inventive seared sesame pepper tuna is prepared sashimi-style, and the popular pork tenderloin is marinated in a three-pepper bourbon sauce. Save room for a decadent dessert of creme brulee or a chocolate torte baked while you wait.

Laguna Grill
A Fodor's Choice for four years, Laguna Grill is a fusion of world cuisines played out against the local, seasonable ingredients. Situated directly adjacent to a lagoon, the restaurant is part eatery, part Latin fairyland. The dark wood furniture and comfortable, woven chairs lure diners in, while the achiote tempura shrimp and fettuccine arrabiata complete the seduction. Surf and turf is the specialty of the house and the pear and apple tart tatin with green apple sorbet is not to be missed.
