In addition to the buffet, Pearl has a very nice lunch menu that you can order off of. Later in the week, we discovered the tempura fish and shrimp tacos with chipotle sauce, salsa and guac..... highly recommend for a GREAT lunch. But, if you want to eat off property, exit the resort on the beach, turn right, and walk along the water for about 15-20 minutes to the center of Puerto Morelos (white leaning tower). There are a multitude of restaurants around the town square, for a quick and easy bite. We ate at El Merkadito, which you can actually access from the beach, before reaching the town center. Ceviche was excellent, and everything we saw being served looked great. Lots of shops in town too, if you're needing to bring souvenirs home.
