About the restaurant

Cielomar Restaurant and our Rooftop Bar and lounge that doesn’t just set the scene. It is the scene.
Enjoy artisan cocktails and small plates while hearing the crash of the waves at your side. Yes,
here the world seems to go on pause. Especially as the sun sets, the sky blazes with color, and
the celebratory vibe reach an all-time high. Savor the moment at this rooftop venue with 360-
degree views of San Jose.
Translating to Sky and Sea, Cielomar Rooftop reflects both a sense of place and atmosphere where the endless golden sky meets the brilliant blue water. Expansive ocean views on the side are complemented by vibrant, fiery sunsets on another, creating a destination alongside a bountiful food and beverage offering highlighted by fresh seafood, flame-grilled fare, and a wood-fired pizza oven.

Family vacation in San Jose Del Cabo and wanted a great Christmas dinner. Javier’s didn’t disappoint! My wife and I did the pre-fix menu and it was excellent. The off the menu items ordered were also excellent. Our server made the evening and although we typically like to stay away from Hôtel restaurants, Javier’s is an exception.

About the restaurant

For the voyager in everyone comes a restaurant that evokes wanderlust and awakens your palate. The specialty: robatayaki, a table side Japanese grill and the freshest produce from the sea. The setting: a beautiful nest-like structure suspended between ocean and land, and surrounded by “espejos de agua,” literally water mirrors, magical in their own right. It’s a setting fit for an adventurer.
