Orlando 😁 what a legend!

This place is incredible 😁😍😁 I spent so many times here whilst living in Mexico and celebrated many birthdays here too. 🎈

This place is magical and a must do on your holiday! If you celebrating something special you can book the private areas, yes you pay extra for them, however it really makes it that extra special occasion something to remember.

Today Orlando "from events" helped me out with a personal request. Top Bloke!!! 👍🏼😁👍🏼

This was a last minute request due to circumstances "so a big ask on my side"  yet he was very accommodating of my needs whilst being friendly, polite and efficient, especially considering it wasn't his department.

Just like from all the other visits I've ever had exceptional service. ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks guys I will continue to recommend you to anyone visiting Playa!

Lastly Thank you Orlando you have made my day! 😁

INCREDIBLE!!!! This is SO worth it!! I took my teenage daughter and we both loved it. It's beautiful and interesting--who gets this?!?!! Seriously, it's a cave!!--the service was amazing and the food was fantastic. We splurged and got a BEAUTIFUL steak and the fish, the appetizer (which included crickets!) and sides were fantastic, and I had two glasses of wine.  Left a healthy tip for a total of $180 (U.S) -- a bargain for what I know will be one of the most memorable meals of my, and my daughter's, lifetime!

It’s a beautiful place with horrible food. We tried a vary of options from the menu and nobody in our party was satisfied with the food. To start the bread is really bad and they charge for it. My mom always says a good restaurant always welcomes you with delicious bread, well this is not the case. Sea food was dry and not fresh. Drinks were nothing spectacular, desert is definitely not recommended. They don’t have vegan option and they don’t try to solve it.

I understand the place sells the experience but they could have put a little more effort with the food. It’s definitely a place you should visit for the experience but try to not spend too much money as it’s not really worth it.

I loved celebrating over there. The place is gorgeous and you go on a little tour inside the cenote taking photos and enjoying the atmosphere and nature while your orders are getting ready. It’s not a big space but enough for some fun shoots and talks and walks with your people. The food presentation was lovely and the servers as well. We tried a number of dishes but I think the food can be elevated especially deer meat and the bone marrow was so little I couldn’t get a taste of it. Sorry I can’t post all photos and forgot to snap shots of everything. Oysters were nice as well as other dishes we tried.

To me, the place is overrated and overpriced:( I didn't like my food. It looks nice, but tastes 3/5. I couldn't finish it. Desert was not bad thought, and presentation is interesting to watch. Our server looked kinda bored or something. She was willingly answering our questions at the very beginning, but after that just lost any interest and totally forgot one of my drinks I ordered. Due to all of that we tipped less than 10% and the person taking payment looked annoyed 🙄
But drinks and desert was good. And the cave itself is beautiful, we've taken many pictures ^^ but we won't come back for sure. Neither food nor service was worthy of that price.

Vår server Luis var mycket uppmärksam, vänlig och härlig, liksom Jahir. Maten och Servicen var fantastisk och ganska prisvärd. Rekommenderar starkt

Åkte för att fira min födelsedag med familjen för några dagar sedan. Ja, atmosfären är väldigt ovanlig eftersom du äter inne i grottan. Jag har dock mycket blandade känslor om denna plats. Mat - Slå eller missa. Förrätter. Märgben - bra presentation, ok smak, men mycket liten portion. Laxtartar - vi var alla överens om var utsökt. Förrätter - hamburgare och risotto var bra, men lax var super salt. Drinkar. Sammantaget - ok. Min var för vattnig och söt (kommer inte ihåg namnet, men den skulle ha lite chokladsmak). När vi nämnde detta för vår server, kom bartendern över till bordet och föreslog att fixa drinken. Obs, de föreslog inte att ersätta drycken eller rekommendera något annat. Andra gången kom det lite mindre vattnigt men smaken var fortfarande avstängd. Kudos till bartendern eftersom han åtminstone försökte rädda drinken. Desert. Banana foster brand show var mycket bra. Därför lämnade vi ändå ett bra tips. Födelsedagsfirande. Konstigt. Jag har valt "födelsedag" när jag gjorde bokningen. När vi kom, värdinnan frågade vem som fyllde år. Jag sa att det var jag. Men de gjorde absolut ingenting åt det. Vad var meningen med att nämna det vet jag inte. Priser. För dyrt för vad du får. Jag har inte officiellt klagat på salt fisk, eller vattnig cocktail eftersom jag inte ville förstöra kvällen för mina gäster. Och, jag skriver recensioner extremt sällsynt , så detta är mer av en varning för andra att vara förberedd och inte har höga förväntningar om denna plats. Tyvärr är jag inte alls imponerad och lämnade med blandade känslor.

Särskilt tack till gustavo och omar! Super god mat, super personal bra Service 🤍 jag skulle gå tillbaka igen tack igen för upplevelsen. Vacker grotta

Gustavo och yahir gav vit handske Service. Jag firade min flickväns födelsedag och båda gick utöver det vanliga för att hjälpa oss att fira. Gustavo är Michelin kvalitets Service.

Vi firar 30-årsjubileum. Luis och Juan Pablo gjorde vår erfarenhet utmärkt! Deras Service var oklanderlig. Maten är helt utsökt. Vi åt en utsökt förrätt ’tuetano’ och delade en karibisk hummer parad med filet mignon och grönsaker. Jag rekommenderar definitivt Alux. Vilken vacker miljö. Zenote är hisnande.

Fantastisk atmosfär. Personalen var underbar, maten var fantastisk. Ta dig tid att utforska området. Detta var en stor matupplevelse.

100 % måste bort. Bästa middagsupplevelsen någonsin! Varje aspekt av denna upplevelse var fantastisk. Från grottan, till Servicen, och maten var allt A+. Luis och Omar var fantastisk. Mycket informativ om historien. Jag kan inte hitta ett fel ens jag försökte. Vi åt filet, hamburgare och räkrisotto. Komplimanger till kocken.

Denna plats är en vibe som du behöver uppleva och servitören var så uppmärksam. Vi var tvungna att beställa om mat för att vi underskattade maten så vi hade smakat det goda igen. Cheesecaken var så en av de bästa och Obie the MAN!

Fantastisk mat och fantastisk plats. Tack Luis och Yahir för vad som har varit en härlig avslutning på min födelsedag. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

WOW gick hit för mina fruar och min 10: e bröllopsdag måltid Platsen är vacker och en riktig one off upplevelse Personalen var stor och vår server var mycket kunnig om grottorna och par små cenotes i det Vi hade en promenad runt innan middagen det var en fantastisk upplevelse Maten var god och vackert presenterad (våra 2 förrätter, 2 huvudrätter och en flaska vin kom till runt £ 150 ) Räkningen för mat var lite på den dyra sidan men otroligt värde för pengarna när man ser matupplevelsen som helhet Det är ett måste - särskilt för speciella tillfällen FANTASTISK MATUPPLEVELSE

Detta har varit en av våra favorit matupplevelser någonsin! Det kom starkt rekommenderas av vår resort concierge, och de var verkligen rätt! Det är legitimt i en grotta, med utsikt över olika matplatser, och några privata matplatser. Maten var enastående och var inte hutlöst dyr och vi unnade oss även någon öken. Drinkarna var också supergoda. Vi planerar definitivt att gå tillbaka nästa gång vi besöker Playa Del Carmen!

Alux var fantastisk runt - drycker, mat och atmosfär är oöverträffad. Vår servitör, Alexis, och hans bror var fantastisk. Uppmärksam och informativ. Vilket coolt ställe!

Axel och Gustavo väntade på oss. De var mycket professionell och uppmärksam. Älskar det här stället. Mat och dryck är utsökt och atmosfären är som ingen annan. Helt fantastisk.

En sådan fantastisk upplevelse. Yahir och Guillermo var exceptionella. Stämningen var underbar och maten var fantastisk! Jag skulle rekommendera någon gå kolla in det.

Mycket god mat. Favio och Omar var utmärkt. Vacker upplevelse, grottan var en gång i livet upplevelse. Kommer definitivt tillbaka.
