Super chill seafront spot with great food and service - they really know how to look after you! We had both breakfast and lunch here and really enjoyed everything: the smoothies, fresh coconut, amazing shrimp tacos, and delicious fish tacos. Highly recommend! Small, upscale restaurant right on the beach. The customer service here is unmatched in this area! The dining tables are tiered on multiple level decks, a bar overlooking the ocean, and tables in the sand. They have made some beautiful renovations to the bar. We were served a sampling of complimentary Huitlacoche from the chef - a new menu item. Don’t look up the translation, just try it - we were so impressed! A traditional Aztec delicacy! Try the Garlic Shrimp and the Brisket - both were excellent. If you dine in the sand, wear bug spray! (This goes for all beach restaurants in Playa Del Carmen) So exhausted fr.multiple travel days getting here from Dubai. Totally worth it! Chill vibe down by the beach with an amazing Chilequiles Divosiados and a refreshing Limonada! Highly recommend it! What a great spot happy I took the recommendation!

Since many years, the best place between Cancun and Chetumal to relax/eat/drink on the Caribbean beach. Sine 10-15 years (or +) constantly lowest prices for excellent food and drinks. Whenever I'm around here, together with family, this place is a must to visit and stay for a whole day!

This place got recommended from the hotel we were staying at and I’m so glad they recommended this place! It was absolutely fabulous! Where to start. You have a minimum you have to order from the menu but it is well worth it. The place was so cute, clean, not super busy (we were there on a Saturday in April) didn’t even reserve chairs. The beach was gorgeous. The staff were so nice and the pacing of asking what else we wanted was great. We all loved our food and drinks. I would 1000% come back here
