The Marbella seafood restaurant is not an exclusive brand to Cancun. Actually its best version (read “branch”) is in Puerto Morelos, a quaint beach town just 20 minutes South of Cancun. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting both branches, and by far (way, way far), the one in Puerto Morelos exceeds the one in Cancun….
