    Nektar has a relatively small menu so if you have picky eaters you may have trouble finding something for everyone. We had the melted cheese and guacamole as appetizers, and the 7 of us had either the vegan, pork, beef or shrimp tacos. All we quite good. Drinks were the best we had while staying at the resort. The best part of Nektar is the location and ambiance. They normally have a band playing, which they did last night, and the band was amazing. The band plus the setting outside the Cirque du Soleil theatre are hard to beat. I would not drive from off property to visit Nektar but if you are on property it has a lot to offer.

    The restaurant is beautiful. The service was very good. BUT they had a dance band which was very loud and disturbing. Not dinner music and very loud! Very difficult to talk! For spending a lot of money it was annoying and actually ruined the dinner!

    Wonderful dinner at Nektar! I had the Poc Chuk (I think that’s how you spell it!) having basically no understanding of what it was but wanting to try something different and it was amazing! We didn’t do the Joya show and I think this is definitely a restaurant worth going to at Vidanta even if you’re not planning to do the show!
