What is the atmosphere like?
How special is a secluded spot on the beach for dinner? Sink your feet into the sand and be served a gourmet dinner with cocktails under the stars. That is what you can do here. The restaurant also has inside seating in its open-air restaurant.
One nice thing that they have done in the design is have tiers so everyone can look out at the ocean.

Our recommendations
Certainly, this is a great restaurant for that special night out. That is why we have put this in our guide for restaurants for special dinners. With a tropical atmosphere, palm trees swaying in the breeze and ocean waves, this restaurant is very romantic. It is also more exclusive since it is tucked away on the Mahekal Hotel property.
If you are an aficionado of the flame, since everything is cooked over the fire, you will appreciate the taste. If you are an aficionado of the beach, well dinning here will be perfect for you since it is one of the only places in Playa where you can be on the beach eating. That is why we have added it to our beachfront restaurant guide for Playa Del Carmen.

Hello Kathleen

I have never heard of this restaurant so I am glad you mentioned it. We are looking for a place to celebrate our 50th anniversary. Looks great, thanks.
I did not know about this restaurant. It looks so cute! I want to go there. We are coming in September and will be sure to eat here.
Hello. This is great to her about this restaurant. We are staying at Mehakel this fall. Do you know baout the other restaurants? Waht are they like? It will be our first time there.
Hello Carry
We have only been to El Fuego Restaurant. We hope to go back and do a full video overview of the other restaurants and hotel. We are waiting to hear form them.
We have looked at booking this hotel but are not sure between Playacar and there, what are your thoughts?
Hello
This is the only resort in Playa that is lush and green. It is kind of secluded from the city and has a nice interior. It is easy to walk out of for 5th Avenue and seeing the downtown. Playacar offers more traditional resorts. The hotels are larger and you have a lot of options since there are about 15 or so to choose from.
