- SStephenLos Angeles •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis was our first time dining at Alux. This was a very unique, special experience. Very attentive, friendly service (Thank you, Erick). Food was delicious. Good drink menu. But the real payoff is the atmosphere. Pull up out front, walk down some steps, and enter into a beautiful underground cave. It's a completely unexpected environment. Perfect for a romantic dinner, celebration, special occasion, or just dinner with friends. Sit in the main dining area, or ask for one of multiple private areas. Be sure to take a walk around to experience the whole cave. It'll be a dinner to remember.More infoAlux RestaurantePrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Playa del Carmen / Riviera Maya•4.4

Service is at a different level, the food is simply perfect, and when it’s over you are saddened thinking that wherever you eat tomorrow won’t be nearly as good as Tuch de Luna.More infoTuch de Luna - La Casa de la Playa XCARETPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Playa del Carmen / Riviera Maya•4.9
