Mandarina Seaside Restaurant, part of Casa Tortugas Hotel, offers one of Isla Holbox’s most elegant beachside dining experiences, open to both hotel guests and visitors. Set on a quiet stretch of beach just east of town, the restaurant transitions seamlessly from a daytime lounge spot into a fine dining destination at night. By day, you can lounge on cushioned chairs, soft sofas, and beach loungers steps from the shoreline. It’s a relaxed setting to enjoy fresh juice or a cocktail with your feet in the sand, along with breakfast and lunch options served from morning through late afternoon.

The breakfast menu includes avocado and beet toast, omelettes, chilaquiles, croissants and sandwiches, French toast, and more. From midday until 5PM, the lunch offerings feature cauliflower tacos, gazpacho, ceviche, a fish hamburger, pasta dishes, and other satisfying plates. Dinner brings a refined take on contemporary wood-fired cuisine, with options like stewed beef cheek, skirt steak, catch of the day, and pasta dishes.

The menus blend Mediterranean inspiration with local Mexican ingredients, and the dishes are generous in size. The setting is relaxed and elegant, with soft music, sea breezes, and a pleasant atmosphere.
