Located in the hotel zone just across from Marriott Casa Magna is this bayside restaurant. We made reservations for 6:15 pm to catch the sunset. It was a beautiful sunset dinner with family. A little pricey but worth it. The food and the service was excellent. Ask about the alligator that lives under the deck ; ).

This is the third year we'v e eaten at Crab House, and with three weeks to work with this trip, we ate there three times. The seafood and service are excellent, and the harbor view at sunset is wonderful. For a totally Mexican experience in the otherwise "America South" hotels strip in Cancun, Crab House cannot be beat.

Quite high tip is included in the bill which may come as a suprise. The location is nice for a sunset dinner. The drinks are quite expense as well but the wine was really good.

This upscale restaurant across Blvd. K. from the Marriotts was an enjoyable experience. Stuffed fish and the Coconut shrimp were our entrees--both properly cooked and delicious. This is a nice off-resort site and recommended.

What a relief! Having suffered dodgy fajitas for the last two nights the crab house was such a pleasure. I was with two friends from a conference - we sat outside on the deck, the sun set, the sea breeze blew - just perfect. The food was very tasty. Many dishes, such as the linguine I had, had a mix...

My wife & I (and friends/family) have been to the Crab House the past 3 years while visiting Cancun. The food is fantastic, service has always been excellent, and the view on the outside deck of the bay is awesome. Be prepared to spend some $$, but well worth it for the fresh stone crab claws, oysters, king crabs, steaks,... More

This is right across the street from the Marriott CasaM??? where we were staying. We decided to go over and try it out. There were 4 of us and everything we had was out of this world. The coconut shrimp I got was cut into 4 pieces/bites with a sauce served in 1/2 of a coconut. They were huge and... More

From the atmosphere to the dessert, can not say enough good things about the Crab House. We sat out on the deck and were entertained by a great saxaphonist. We were a party of 10 with 3 kids. We ordered a variety of appetizers, soups, and meals. We did complain about the original calamari appetizer as it was a bit... More
