Captain's Cove
Like any good fish and seafood restaurant, Captain's Cove offers a shrimp and lobster dinner that will have you begging for more. The restaurant specializes in providing a wide assortment of shrimp inspired dishes, but what really sets Captain's Cove apart is a little taste of adventure that goes by the name Mr. Alligator.
Mr. Alligator is reported a friendly alligator who lives off the edge of the restaurant's elevated outdoor platform. Diners enjoy tossing leftovers to the alligator, who seems to enjoy a steady diet of seafood scraps. This makes Captain's Cove a popular restaurant for families with children.

Pirates
Sometimes convenience and getting a good value are the most important parts of a meal. When you eat at Pirates, you'll get these benefits without compromising on the quality of the food.
Located right on the beach, Pirates is as convenient as it gets in terms of Cancun restaurants. The fish and seafood restaurant is owned by Captain Dave, a transplant from Memphis, Tennessee. The Captain serves up delicious seafood meals as good as any resort, but for half the price. If you just want a good meal without dressing up or making reservations, Pirates is definitely the place to go.
