Food Scene

Very simple but delicious Mexican seafood restaurants. Try the "pulpo a las brasas" (octopuss) and the "pescado frito" (fried fish). Probably our favorite local restaurant, a 10 minute walk from condo

A gem of a place! Reservations taken for dinner only. Worth the visit as exquisite food is prepared by chef Alain and her wife goes out of her way to make you feel at home.

Great steaks and a nice Argentinean wine list, beautiful location next to the lagoon. Also try the "pulpo a las brasas" (grilled octopus) and the tuna tartar. Expensive, but worth the visit.

A great park, much based in zip-lines and river swimming, with lots of activities. Part of the Xcaret group, so quality is guaranteed. Good food also ; )

Fun waterpark, very close to the condo (about a 20 minute drive) at the end (or beginning coming from Playa del Carmen) of the Hotel Zone. Closes early at 5pm. Not that big, 2-3 hours is ok.
