    Ironically, we haven't found good Mexican food this far south in Mexico but that's not a problem when there is Italian food like this. There are 2 amazing restaurants in Puerto Aventuras and this is my favorite of the two. It wont be your cheapest meal but will be some of best food you can eat while in town. We have tried about 6-7 different entrees here and each was made to perfection. Moses recommends Dolce Vita and even had a too much of the grape juice.

    We received 2 pies that looked just like this...bunch of con artists working at this joint!!!!!

    Wow...Terrible doesn't even begin to describe our experience. Stopped in for some drinks and pies to take back and have to reheat at the condo we rented. Service was beyond slow and when we got back to reheat the pies it was very obvious this business is more than happy to rip off paying customers. Out of the 4 pies ordered two didn't have any cheese...like no cheese at all. The Italian pie had more arugula that cheese. It wasn't funny at first but we did all have a laugh after awhile...this place is an utter disgrace to the other restaurants within this little beach town.

    Chicken... I think?

    Ate a few times in this place. Definitely better than other restaurants in the area. For a decent place to eat, I definitely recommend it

    With spectacular views of the crystal blu-ish green sea in front of us, we lounged at La Playa…read morebeach club on a large king size mattress lapping in the warm sun and ocean breeze. This beach club beckons you with its pop music and youthful demographic. It certainly seems like a happening spot right there on the beach. What's our take on La Playa? Let's get straight to the point... Atmosphere - Located on one of the most beautiful beaches in Mexico, the atmosphere is absolutely amazing by itself. La Playa plays a mix of music and creates a sort of "low key party vibe" while guests lounge on padded chairs or mattresses while sipping margaritas and eating ceviche. Everything was spaced out and clean, adhering to Covid restrictions. Temps are checked and guests are tracked via their website before entrance which adds to safety at this time. Rating 5/5 Service - As a couple of other reviewers noted, it depends on who you get here. Our server was not very attentive and failed to check on us multiple times during our visit. Our food was also an hour late getting to us and Louis, the manager had to serve it to us himself. Although the issue was resolved in the end, we were not notified ahead of time and the lack of communication as well as failure to take initiative on the part of the staff is a reason to remove a star from this review. Service should be exceptional for the price you pay here ($55 minimum for a meal and 2 drinks) and it was lacking in this area unfortunately. Rating 4/5 Food - Food was muy bueno, although it arrived to us an hour late. We would definitely recommend the nachos and ceviche which turned out to be very hearty and flavorful! Pricing can be on the expensive side, (but hey, we are on the Caribbean side of Mexico, so we've learned to expect that) however, sizes are appropriate and plentiful for 2 people. Drinks were made well and there is a good selection to choose from. Rating 5/5 Overall, La Playa is a nice place to "chill" and relax on the beach for a day should you visit the area and want to lounge at a hip beach club. Expect pricing to be a little high as it can be quite touristy along this strip in Xpu-Ha, although, for the experience and views it may very well be worth it!

    First off, the beach is beautiful. The sand is powdery soft, the water is warm and a perfect…read moreturquoise color, but calm enough for my young kids to swim. There is seaweed, but it isn't bad. Unfortunately, the second (last) time we came, the water was absolutely full of tiny particles of trash. You simply couldn't avoid it, and it was super gross. I only went in the water for 10 minutes, though I normally would have loved to swim for hours. My kids had bits of plastic in their hair and under their bathing suits after their own swims. Yuck. The beach club is fine. There's a mix of palapas, umbrellas, and canopies for shade, but that does cost extra (see below). The lounge chairs are nothing special but do the job. Food and drinks are decent. Quality of service is very dependent on who your server is - Amado was fantastic, but the server on our second visit was not. There's plenty of free parking, and you can park close if you arrive early - be aware the dirt road in is eroded and very bumpy though. We never used the bathrooms. I felt value was pretty good: - If you simply want beach access to put your towel down, 50 pesos per person. - if you want to use the club for restaurant service, it's 200 pesos per adults, 100 per child, but think of it as a deposit because this is deducted from your final bill. - to rent lounge chairs, it's an extra 120 pesos per chair, and only on the second visit did they tell us we could return those wristbands for 40 pesos back.
