Incredible Mediterranean food, beautiful view and an impressive show makes this worth the trip to Cancun. There is a location on 5th avenue in Playa del Carmen, but the atmosphere does not compare to the grander version in Cancun. With a kids menu, and plenty of delicious vegetarian options, Ilios is perfect for a special night out that the entire family can enjoy.

Great, authentic Mexican food with an extensive menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner, that is kid friendly, and has several vegetarian options. The lush setting will make you feel like you are dining in the jungle. It's prime location on 38th street, our favourite street in Playa, is also just a block from the beach.

This is the place to go for a fancy night out in Playa. The food is incredible and the service is among the best we have experienced anywhere. The kids, and those who are kids at heart, will love the complimentary cotton candy. And for those who don't eat meat, there are some good vegetarian options as well.

The rooftop restaurant is a great option for a nice dinner out. They have live music most nights, great drinks and a beautiful view. And while the rooftop is for adults only during the day, children are allowed after 6 pm for dinner. And if you love fish, be sure to ask about the catch of the day.

Favourite Beach Clubs & Resorts with Day Passes

This beach club is the best in the area. The beach is shallow, the lounge beds are fantastic, and the food is great. With a minimum spend of about $30USD/adult, Punta Venado provides the best beach experience you can have in the area at an incredible price. For bookings contact the beach club directly. Their contact information for making a reservation is on their website. We recommend that you arrive as soon as it opens to get one of the prime beds in the front row and so you have time to order their breakfast which is only available before noon. And if you love fish, be sure to ask if they have anything fresh when you arrive and reserve one for your party. You won't be disappointed

This is a great place to go with the entire family for the day. We love to go on a Saturday, when they have an amazing breakfast. Go early to reserve a prime spot by the pool. We love to be right by the glass partitions so that we get a prime view of the ocean. After your fantastic brunch, you can spend the day enjoying the pool, and the beach. And if you feel like retreating from the sun there is a great games room for kids as well as a spa on site. You can book directly through the ResortPass app.
