The Lobster House
at Excellence Playa Mujeres · Excellence Resorts - Playa Mujeres
Open-air restaurant beneath thatch-roof palapa bridging main pool, specializing in lobster and shellfish dishes prepared to taste. Serves breakfast, lunch and lobster-focused dinner.
✨ Insider tip: Great ocean views facing Isla Mujeres. One of few restaurants open for breakfast. Good breeze and views make it perfect for starting your morning.
What to order
The Lobster House is the only restaurant at Excellence with views facing Isla Mujeres — open-air palapa above the main pool with sea breeze and lantern light at dinner. The lobster is the headline (chowder, salads, mains, and kabobs), but Mahi Mahi and shrimp anchor the menu for non-lobster nights. Critical note: Mexican law closes lobster season March 1–June 30, so confirm current availability at the host stand if you're visiting during those months.
- Lobster ChowderThe best starter at The Lobster House — creamy, fresh, and the right way to open a lobster-focused meal.
- Whole Lobster (prepared to taste)The centerpiece; order it during open season (July–February) and ask for your preferred preparation — grilled, butter-basted, or classic.
- Lobster and Tenderloin KabobSurf and turf skewer — the best of both worlds if you want lobster with beef in one course.
- Mahi MahiThe strongest non-lobster main; lighter and a reliable call during the lobster closed season or if you want fish.
Mexican lobster season closes March 1–June 30 annually; lobster dishes unavailable during this period — confirm with host stand on arrival.
