Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Playa del Carmen / Riviera Maya

Always amazing! gracias Patricia and Mauricio!!!!!

This is our first time in Cancun during Christmas week and we booked Harry’s based on the reviews (and the fact that it was open on Christmas). This was a fantastic dinner! If you are looking for an upscale steak house in Cancun, you need to eat here. Harry’s has 3 different kinds to choose from including Kobe and Australian. I had the Australian filet and it was cooked perfectly and the wood fired grilling was excellent. Everything from the appetizers (we had the caviar, wagyu on hot stone and crab and artichoke) to the sides (lobster Mac and garlic mashed potatoes) was delicious. The service was wonderful and the manager came to check to see if we needed anything twice. The restaurant is beautiful and the ladies restroom even has a waterfall view. You have to come here to see it! The restaurant is also located on the water so the sunset view from our table was gorgeous. I also want to note that, though the restaurant was lively with music, it was not loud! My husband has a hard time hearing in restaurants with high decibel levels of noise but we were able to carry on a conversation without shouting…a big plus! I would highly recommend Harry’s and will come again every time I am back in Cancun from now on.

We had the best time tonight, on Christmas Eve. The food and service was excellent - note that the portion sizes are huge. We had the street corn, boing salad, fish of the day, mushroom risotto, chipotle cheddar mashed potatoes, and carrot cake (to go). I don’t know if tonight was typical, but the DJ spun the best mix ever, we were entertained by fire spinners, people dancing on the chairs and takes to music. It was such a fun evening and wonderful way to spend the holiday. My wife said it was one of her best experiences ever. And I agree. We finished the evening with the shisha service while listening to the music and dancing.

Another amazing culinary experience at my favorite restaurant in Playa del Carmen, México! Thank you to the crew for the exceptional first class service, Merry Xmas and a happy 2025 year!!!

Rosa Negra in Cancun is a vibrant culinary gem that perfectly blends contemporary chic with traditional Latin flair, creating a lively yet sophisticated atmosphere ideal for any occasion. The menu offers a delightful fusion of Latin American flavors, featuring standout dishes like fresh ceviche, tender beef tenderloin with chimichurri, and innovative shrimp aguachile. Their impressive cocktail selection, including a perfectly balanced signature margarita, complements the exceptional and friendly service provided by the attentive staff. Enhanced by live music, Rosa Negra delivers an unforgettable dining experience that, while on the higher end price-wise, is well worth it for the quality, ambiance, and overall excellence. After 9 PM, the restaurant transforms into a big party, adding an extra layer of excitement for both locals and tourists seeking a top-tier meal and vibrant nightlife in Cancun. Highly recommended!
