Frommer's Review
This longtime Cancún favorite hasn't changed much over the years. Lobster remains the star, and part of the appeal is selecting your dinner out of the giant lobster tank set in the lagoon (Lorenzillo's sits right on the lagoon under a giant palapa roof). A dock leads down to the main dining area, and when that's packed (which is often), a wharf-side bar handles the overflow. To start, I recommend El Botin, which consists of two soft shell crabs breaded and fried to perfection. Good bets for the entree include lobster (which comes prepared in any of 20 different ways), shrimp stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon, the Pescador (Caribbean grouper prepared to taste), and seafood-stuffed calamari. Desserts include the tempting "Martinique": warm apples, raisins, and walnuts caramelized with rum and wrapped in a pastry with vanilla ice cream. Lorenzillo's is as popular with families as it is with couples looking for lagoon-side romance.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
