Our favorite Italian Restaurant in Playa Del Carmen. Incredible selections of Pasta and Meat selections where the quality of food is just as important as the presentation of the food. Highly recommend ordering one of the Cheese wheel pasta dishes. If you like wine they have an excellent selection as well. You won't regret eating here, its right on 5th ave and provides great people watching to match the great food.

If you want to stay close to home, this is a great argentinian Steak house with a Mexican spin. White glove service but priced very well, and excellent food choices for the whole family.

Entertainment & Activities

Incredible adventure park with Zip lining, All Terrain Vehicle trails, Underground Caves and underground rivers to swim and paddle through. The park has both day and night time experiences. Our favorite is Xplor Fuego which happens at night and is lit up by fire throughout the park. Make sure you book in advance on their website as its much cheaper and same day reservations at the parl are not allowed. A full buffet is included in the price of admission
