Saffron - Saffron

Best Thai food over had. If youve wondered what it is supposed to taste like, you have to come here. Many training dishes just done right.

Fantastic atmosphere, service and flavors! We’ll definitely go back.

Saffron is probably the best restaurant in Mayakoba. The atmosphere is so romantic and the food is delicious. This is my second time dining here and we will be back, even though it's not cheap!

Beautiful setting, well prepared and presented Thai food, with attentive service**, but it is EXORBITANTLY priced. $40USD for Pad Thai? $42 for fried rice?? I get that it's a resort and things are more expensive but this is borderline robbery. Menu with prices (in USD) uploaded so you can see what you are getting into before dining. **Please do not assume guests are married if you are not sure. They called us Mr and Mrs all night, as well as "family"

Fantastic atmosphere on the dock, location on the lagoon, service from the nicest staff, and food with exceptional flavor! My favorite restaurant in Mayakoba.

Great food and the atmosphere by the water is fantastic. Just be aware of the mosquitos. I would say the food is Thai themed rather than actual Thai food. They do do a great green curry though.

It was a night to remember! My date and I were in search of a nice dinner spot and we both were craving Asian food. We were really fortunate to get a last minute reservation so if you don’t want to email, just give a call! It’s about 20 minute taxi ride from the center and you have to get through two security checkpoints then take a golf cart to the restaurant so prepare for that. Staff was extremely attentive and friendly. The place was gorgeous and romantic at night. They put a flower in my hair before seating me which was a lovely touch. We ordered the appetizer sampler(best option) and also got to enjoy some bread/rice cake with dipping sauces as well a bit of papaya salad from the chef. I’m extremely picky about food in general, especially Thai food and this exceeded my expectations for a non-authentic place. Yes, it’s not authentic. I’m Thai! There take on it is just fabulous though. My date ordered the massaman and I ordered the tiger prawn. The massaman was absolutely delicious with the naan and rice. I loved it more than my dish which was a bit on the saltier side but still lovely. I might’ve stolen some of the curry sauce to eat with the prawns. These portions are PERFECT. We were able to finish everything and have room for dessert. Fried bananas were so light and yummy. No complaints from me. We did order drinks, I just forgot which ones but both were great. This is not the place to come to if you’re on a budget or want the most authentic food. It’s an experience.

Outstanding meal. I went with 5 others and we ate family style. Ordered 3 different appetizers and 5 different entrees (of which 3 of the entrees we ordered a 2nd round of they were so good). The ambiance is fantastic as the restaurant sits on the waterfront with a myriad of noises from local birds and wildlife surrounding you. Service was impeccable. Highly recommended.
