Another great restaurant in Mayakoba. Expect to pay NYC prices here and everywhere else in the complex, but that aside the experience was a good one. Service was excellent from the hostesses to the servers. Food was very good and you can’t beat the atmosphere on the patios.

Above average Thai food that's overpriced (more so than other restaurants in the nearby resorts).

Best dish was the appetizer sampler. My little one really enjoyed the crispy shrimp. We ordered the crab fried rice. Besides the fried soft shell crab on top, I can't really taste the crab inside the dish. Mushy rice. Recommend to skip.

Ice cream is decent. The fried banana is solid. Go to Tulum for the best Thai food.

Prosecco by the glass was surprisingly good.

Please read carefully. I come from a European culture that deeply values authentic cuisine, not pre-prepared or fast food. As a food scientist who has lived in Asia and dined in both Michelin-starred and the finest local restaurants, I have high expectations. I’ve also experienced top Thai restaurants in New York and Los Angeles. Therefore, I expected this hotel chain to uphold the standards of authentic Thai restaurants like those in Phuket or Bali. I was disappointed to find that the food here was overly sweetened with sugar instead of palm sugar, which is the most common and authentic sweetener used in Thai cooking. It’s unfortunate for those who cannot taste the difference, and the hotel should be ashamed for not meeting these culinary standards

Food, service and atmosphere are top notch! Amazing vegan options as well.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Saffron that left me absolutely mesmerized. Not only was the food divine, but the view and atmosphere were simply stunning. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by an ambiance that was both elegant and cozy. As I settled into my seat, I couldn't help but be captivated by the breathtaking view of the surrounding scenery.

Now, let's talk about the food. Each dish that graced the table was a masterpiece in its own right. The flavors were expertly crafted, and every bite was a delightful explosion of taste. From the appetizers to the desserts, the quality and presentation were top-notch. It was evident that the chefs poured their heart and soul into each culinary creation.

What truly set this restaurant apart, though, was the combination of delectable food and the picturesque setting. As I enjoyed my meal, I found myself constantly gazing out the window, awestruck by the beauty of the landscape. The panoramic view added a layer of enchantment to the dining experience, making it truly unforgettable.

The carefully designed atmosphere further enhanced my dining pleasure. The decor, lighting, and music all worked together to create a warm and inviting ambiance. It was the perfect blend of sophistication and comfort, making me feel both indulged and at ease.

In conclusion, this restaurant is a hidden gem that delivers on all fronts. The food is exceptional, the view is breathtaking, and the atmosphere is enchanting. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a memorable dining experience with friends, I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment. Prepare to be amazed by the culinary delights and the captivating surroundings.

It was a great experience, since we arrived at the hotel and were friendly greeted from the staff, everybody at the rotunda was super friendly and welcoming.
Afterwords we took the Gondola; Jesus the gondola rider was super friendly and guided us through the whole trip,have to say that the views are beautiful even at night, this ride was soooo worth it.
As we arrived to Saffron we were welcomed by Jazz who was very friendly as well, she was already waiting for us with a roses hand bath to start our evening.
Once we were seated at a great table by the lagoon our waitress was very helpful and made amazing suggestions for food and drinks, then we were greeted by the sweetest Restaurant Supervisor Diana who made our experience even more personalized with a lot of knowledge and hosting skills.
The food was above and beyond delicious; we had an entree that allowed us to enjoy a small bite of everything, the sauces are unique and delightful you can really enjoy the flavors on each of them, you must try them all: coconut, ginger, peanuts, etc; For main course we had the shrimp and Shrimp Pad Thai and I have to say the “shrimp” was perfectly cooked; Juicy, tender and on point flavor, as well as the “rice” and “Pad Thai”.
Just make sure to save some space for dessert, was so worth it.
Thank you Saffron for a wonderful experience. 💎💎💎💎💎
