    The OMG filet........Friggen great
    Andy D.

    Absolutely the best restaurant in Puerto Adventuras. But, why you ask, you've walked by the place and ehhh. These are the reasons for the season, and you'll understand why they work so hard to knock this place out of the park. 1. Everyone is a manager. Employees work hard for your satisfaction. But why? 2. They love the owner John. But, why? 3. John takes care of them like family, health care, finances, you name it this bombastic guy has a heart of gold. 4. Highest food quality! 5. The chef, can be a chef! Every dinner item I've had here is phenomenal, no I just had the filet, it was 10oz of OMG, so good I'd name my child after it. Char grilled on real coals, gave it that smoky, charred outer texture, cooked to a perfect medium rare. ORGASMIC, vegetarians beware. I can't say enough, I dare anyone to find something better in the states. And, there rib eye, looks to be about 26oz......fuh!

    Love the addition of Pajama Brunch! Hippo-s has been rejuvinated by the addition of De Ja Vu.... The food is as great as always!

    Veggie burger.  Very good.

    Super friendly and attentive staff. Great food - lunch & dinner. They offer breakfast as well though we didn't try it. The dinner ceviche was huge & excellent. Lots of vegetarian options which is a bonus. I had the veggie burger which was very good. The waiter even offered up several veggie dishes which were not on the menu to accommodate me so just ask. One option was the Mexican plate which came with grilled cactus, grilled veggies, black beans, guacamole, salsa & quesadillas. Ask for rice instead of quesadillas which is what I should have done if your vegan. My husband liked both the fish dish and the gnocchi. Large TV with NHL playoff games on (go Blackhawks!). They let us finish watching the late game even though they were closing. Our favorite spot on the marina!

    This place is perfect and the view is great the only bad thing is the prices this place is probably one of the most expensive places on the marina

    Killer spot to hang out. Food was stellar and service was top notch. Sunday brunch was a hit for the family. Night bartender Noe crushes 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.
