    25th anniversary vacation with Wife N, sunning our buns in Playa del Carmen for 7 days and nights…read moreof R&R. They brought an amuse bouche: sea scallop with mild curry. The curry was excellent, very mild but complex, and the scallop perfectly cooked. I just looked at Wife N and we both came to the same conclusion: if this is what the surprise bite can pull off, we're in for a great meal! We started with two appetizers: a fois gras and a seared Ahi. Fois gras and tuna both were well prepared and constructed. Tuna flawlessly seared, salad nicely dressed. Main course: filet, ordered rare, cooked rare to perfection. Holy moly, this was fantastic. Cardamom streak gave it just that little hint of something special and unique. The cod was, again, flawless. Mustard added the perfect level of acidity to the sauce and the fish was flaky, tender and juicy. The sauteed bell peppers and Harricots verts (green beans) complemented the fish nicely and made for a lovely splash of color on the plate. Look, this place is basically the resort's "house restaurant" on the Royal Service side and the meal was covered. But even if I'd had to pay for it, I still would have been happy with the meal. It was as flavorful and well-prepared as any $30 a plate upscale place stateside. House wines weren't bad at all. I'm no sommelier, but I kind of know what I like. The red was a Spanish Merlot, but really reminded me a lot of an Argentinean Malbec. Nice complexity and not too heavy. The white was another Spanish wine, a Sauvignon Blanc, but this one had a massive nose of raisin and red currant (very odd for a white); the flavor was very fruity but at the same time quite dry. For "house wines" we both felt they were winners. Dessert of poached pears with vanilla and raspberry and chocolate sauces with crumbled whipped cream. Nicely done. Simple ingredients done well. This is night #1 of our seven-night stay. If LA Palapa is even a remote indication of the food quality here, I'm already salivating over what tomorrow's meals will be offering.

    We stayed at the Paradisus La Perla Royal Service adults recently. Wished to comment about this…read morerestaurants chef (Chef Eduardo) and his excellent tasting food. Was what we needed for breakfast. The waiter Renau was also very pleasant, very excellent English and appreciated his help for us and Breakfast menu as well as lunch he and Chef Eduardo(hope spelled right) made for us. Great communications with us and his Chef Edwardo. Appreciated the little adjustment to making us a certain lunch sandwich, great taste! This restaurant is in a nice location close to for our adults pool. Good work you two and thanks for the nice lunch meal. Longbeach.

    This place was a fun stop. It was right by our hotel and we wanted to come in and see what they…read morehad. We came here twice. The first time it was just for some drinks and then we ate here on New Years Eve. Our bartender was Frank and our server was Esencia Vital. Both were friendly and helpful. We ordered 4 things and all of them were pretty good. We got the Tempura Oysters which were excellent and not greasy at all. The Tiradito Boticario was my favorite. Great texture and flavor without being overwhelmed with sauce. The Camarones Boticario were also quite good. My wife had the Ceviche Boticario and said it was on point. I drank mostly beer which was Corona and I had a glass of white wine. The wine list was limited but they really specialize in their drinks which looked fantastic. We would recommend this place to anyone.

    The husband and I were walking around Playa looking for a good place to have a drink and we came…read moreacross El Boticario. The previous year when we were there, this was not open. We were very happy that is open now! I decided to start off with the "Mieles De Maria Sabina" A wonderful mix of 400 Conejos Mezcal, Ancho Reyes, cranberry juice and a "homemade punch". It was very refreshing, well balanced and came in a really cool glass! My second drink was the "Amarra Hombres Cascados". Gin, Aperol, grapefruit juice. It too hit the spot on a really hot day. Definitely a place we will hit when we need a good cocktail!
