First time there.. The atmosphere is amazing. Totally a different vibe. I was there for a meeting, so I havent tasted the food yet, but the friendliness, starting with the hostess at the info booth, is great. Compliments, keep up the good service, smiles and good vibe in this amazing location!

We visited Mood Beach on Memorial Day for my sister’s 35th birthday and had an amazing experience! We reserved 4 cabanas and ordered food and bottle service for the group. Andrea was our waitress and she was incredibly courteous, patient, attentive and overall phenomenal throughout our visit. She made sure our service was top tier and truly helped make our celebration memorable. Our beach day was a 10/10, and I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing experience!

I stayed at the Kontiki Resort and visited Mood Beach for dinner one night. The food was good but the portions were quite small. Despite this, the beach club itself was nice and I thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance.

Beautiful day at the beach. Enjoy lounge chairs in the shade for $16 each for the day. A large menu offers many food choices. Service may be very slow but with patience every thing is good.

The food and service was excellent. It’s recommended that you make a reservation but during the week did not seem overcrowded. The sushi salmon and black tiger come highly recommended from the staff. This restaurant is worth a try for aesthetics, mood, and good food.

Unfriendly towards locals, Not willing to work things out....

We are locals and booked through the site and we had payed the normal rate instead of the local fees. Now a nice lady at the information desk us told to go and get our money back since we overpaid... after along long argument apparently they can't refund!?!? Normally I wouldn't be to pressed about money.... But the state of aquariums and the facility is beyond dilapidated the paint is peeling off the walls and the aquariums are all scratched up and completely green. The dolphin enclosures/lagoons seem very small for the amount of dolphins they have.. So yes I definitely feel like I overpaid tremendously. This less of a rehab center/animal focus and more just a tourist attraction...

I will never forget this day

The aquarium is small. The activities are where this place shines. If you can swim well and are comfortable with a snorkel take advantage of the opportunity. Swimming and diving with a dolphin was amazing. The animal encounter was such a unique experience as well. Staff are amazing. Thank you for making our trip so memorable.

Best dolphin snorkel you will ever find!!!

The snorkel experience was awesome!! We were in two groups of 3 and each had a dolphin to swim with. We could swim with the dolphin or dive with the dolphin. We could go one at a time or two (one on each side of the dolphin). Half way through they had the dolphin do a trick with echo location. at the end the dolphins swam under us and jumped over us. I loved swimming with the dolphins at my own pace, and you could see their eyes follow you to see what you wanted them to do next. It was amazing!! Our friend was able to sit in the seats right above the pool and video and take pictures of us. They were so accommodating. Everyone was so friendly!! I can’t recommend this enough!!
