Fodor's Expert Review Mandarina Beach Club
$$$
Isla Holbox
Eclectic
Chef Jorge Melul, a master baker, has become known on the island for his homemade breads, cakes, and pastas, made from organic, local grown ingredients. For a memorable meal, start with shrimp tempura dipped in chipotle cream or homemade pesto and then order the fish cooked in white wine and topped with spinach and pears. The daily catch is purchased directly from the fishermen who dock on the shores. If it's just ambience you're after, head to the rooftop bar for a reasonably priced basil mojito or ginger margarita.
