Frommer's Review
The quality and originality of the cuisine and excellence of service make this a top choice for fine-dining in Cancún. The Provençal -- but definitely not provincial -- Aioli offers exquisite French and Mediterranean gourmet specialties in a warm and cozy country French setting. Though it serves perhaps the best breakfast buffet in Cancún (for $24/£12), most diners from outside the hotel come here in the evening, when low lighting and superb service promise a romantic experience. Delectable starters include foie gras and risotto with wild mushrooms; among the best main courses are pan-seared jumbo shrimp in lobster sauce, roasted lamb with a tarragon crust, and breast of duck. Desserts are decadent, especially the signature "Fifth Element," rich with chocolate.

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.
