For many years, La Cueva del Pescador has been serving fresh fish for locals and visitors. Their secret? The owner is a local fisherman who has been fishing in the Caribbean since 1982. He is the secret to Cueva del Pescador’s continued success. Great margaritas, super friendly staff (his kids), and its central location helps, but the fresh catch served each and every day makes this restaurant super!

Lol Ha has been around for quite a while, and it all began with Laura and Dave about 30 years ago. What is now the round palapa bar at the Lol Ha Beach Bar, was the entire restaurant that Laura and Dave took over to serve drinks on the beach. Over time, they expanded the palapa bar to include a snack bar with food as well. They taught their crew to make good hamburgers and fries, and their crew taught them to make good cochinita pibil, a classic Mayan dish. As time went by, the snack bar grew in popularity but our small beach bar palapa still exists and serves as our bar today!

Taverna is a warm and inviting neighborhood restaurant that offers a truly Italian experience without having to leave Texas. The Italian chefs strive to create the perfect menu using seasonal ingredients for their surprising entrees; every day they present a variety of northern Italian delights from simple comforts such as pan seared sea bass to delicate pasta and fabulous risotto. Risotto is indeed their flagship dish. They only use Carnaroli rice – the “king of the rice”; thanks to its particular characteristics and firm texture the Carnaroli grain maintains its shape during the slow cooking required for a perfect and creamy risotto.

Perfect for breakfast or lunch. Cute, good food, great prices. Really friendly staff. They serve good food to very reasonable prices. It's much more quiet and less touristic. Especially recommend the lunch menu (fish tacos or fajitas).

One of the top attractions in the Riviera Maya and Playa del Carmen area are the cenotes. This underground river system runs for hundreds of miles in this area. Some parts of these caves are completely underground, some are partially covered and some even sit on the surface like a lake. Some have really impressive stalactites and stalagmites, some are just fun to swim in and almost all are absolutely beautiful. The water in these cenotes is rainwater that has been filtered through limestone found in this area, resulting in crystal clear fresh water.

Tulum archaeological site is relatively compact compared with many other Maya sites in the vicinity, and is one of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites. Its proximity to the modern tourism developments along the Mexican Caribbean coastline and its short distance from Cancún and the surrounding "Riviera Maya" has made it a popular Maya tourist site in the Yucatan. Daily tour buses bring a constant stream of visitors to the site. The Tulum ruins are the third most-visited archaeological site in Mexico, after Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza. It is popular for the picturesque view of the Caribbean and a location just 128 km (80 mi) south of the popular beach resort of Cancún.

Tulum archaeological site is relatively compact compared with many other Maya sites in the vicinity, and is one of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites. Its proximity to the modern tourism developments along the Mexican Caribbean coastline and its short distance from Cancún and the surrounding "Riviera Maya" has made it a popular Maya tourist site in the Yucatan. Daily tour buses bring a constant stream of visitors to the site. The Tulum ruins are the third most-visited archaeological site in Mexico, after Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza. It is popular for the picturesque view of the Caribbean and a location just 128 km (80 mi) south of the popular beach resort of Cancún.
