As soon as you take your seat, don't waste time - order a margarita (both Mezcal- and tequila-based). The next abosulte must are the shrimp tacos... our gals were gushing about them for days. Days, y'all. The soft shell crab tacos are good too, but something about those shrimp tacos. Presentation is a major part of the experience there, and while the guacamole plate dressed with black charcoal is IG-worthy, it wasn't the best in flavor. Skip if you can, but again, get the shrimp tacos!

They offer some snacks and a soup, but both the bar and food selection is limited. There's a few entree dishes you can order via QR code. I got the Chicken Tinga Tostada, Chicken Tacos, and Beef with Chips. The vegetable soup and mangos with leche dessert was also delicious. I just would've love some more options, but it gets the job done. It's also a bit annoying that you need to leave the lounge to use the bathroom.

All-in-all it was worth the inconvenience. Very eclectic menu, warm atmosphere and outstanding service. I started withe the Mango-Tamarind: Lettuce, Indian walnut, mango, blueberries, Cotija cheese, mango-habanero dressing and tamarind billet. Unique and tasty. "Swiss Chicken Enchiladas" for the main course was not what you get at a local Mexican joint -- Four tortillas stuffed with chicken, bathed in a creamy tomatillo sauce with melted cheese and a base of refried black beans. This was a 5-star dish! I couldn't resist ordering a side dish though I didn't need to because the enchiladas were really enough, so I indulged myself with fries: these were not your run of the mill French fries. Porfirio's Potatoes -- French fries with chipotle pepper aioli, parmesan cheese and parsley. Finally, if you like ice cream I highly recommend that you order BOTH offerings: 1) "ICE CREAM TASTING" - Strawberry ice cream, chocolate ice cream from Metate, marzipan ice cream and vanilla from Papantla. Served with grated coconut, chocolate grain, M&M's, Oreo cookies and ice cream cones; and, 2) "PORFIRIO'S MOLECULAR ICE CREAM" - served with cajeta Worcestershire sauce in an ice cream cone. (I know it sounds disgusting right? Nope it worked. The chef is just showing off with this dish)

I took some notes and this is what I thought of the dishes. Xoajacan Imoladas - The mole is perfection. The flautas, superb. Everything in this plate is a symphony of what I would expect from Xoajaca. 9.5/10 Barbacoa Bonemarrow - Barcacoa is on point. The Marrow is Sublime. Together with the accompaniments is superb. I dream of Marrow everyday. This is a 10/10 Yellow fin Tosatadas - Superb!!! One of the best tostadas I have ever had. The microgreens, the sauce and the square Tostada works well all together. 8.8/10 Salmon - Cooked perfectly. The corn is a great accompaniment. The fish is impeccably seasoned. This dish is heaven sent with a 9.8/10 Grilled Octopus - Grilled perfectly, I can tell by the texture. The mash is superb, they used margarine instead of butter and I absolutely love the contrast from the traditional mash. 9.8/10 Mexican Rice - Its pretty good. It does have a nice seafoodish finish. The pepper was actually spicy. Nice and pleasant rice dish. 8/10 Charred Avocado Salad - Grilled avocado is a bit of a wash. It did make it look good on the plate. The dressing is a little weak. Needs a little more zip, some citrus or vinegar would give this salad some justice. Its a little uninspired 7/10 Service is impeccable and attentive and the atmosphere is lovely.

The lounge itself had a few food options, and lots of drink options. As far as soft drinks are concerned. They did have a full bar and they also had food available for purchase. The lounge itself was pretty small. They had a few business booths that were semi private in the middle of the lounge. There also were not a lot of outlets. The outlets seemed to be in one area, and they had a charging station that was next to the bar. But you had to keep your device there in order to charge it. They had tables, a high desk area and a sort of lounge area with a large tv. Would i visit this lounge again, probably not. It served its purpose i guess. But to me, it wasn't worth it.

It had comfy seats abound and the best bartenders in the entire resort! Leonardo was fantastic! Just like everywhere else in Playacar Palace, you could order any drink your heart desired. If you ask for tequila, they'll probably give you cheaper stuff like Jose Cuervo or some house brand. But if you say to them you want the Don Julio, 1800 or whatever other brand, they will gladly serve you that. They have a variety of seating from comfy couches that look like they are swings to single seating cushy chairs. It was hard for us to get together a big group for like 30 to sit but they didn't seem to mind us moving things around too much. Not only do they have the bar & all the seating but also a few pool tables on the side for game playing. The music ranged from good to great but they would also let us put on our own stuff which was very accomodating. It seemed that each night they had something going on - either a fire show, a circus, or a band. My group was not a fan when the band was playing because it was just SO loud, we couldn't talk at all. The band was great and if you just want to sit & chill out enjoying the music, it'll be great for you. But if you want to socialize, you may want to drink at another resort bar until they are done playing. I have to emphasize again how great the staff here is. Post a beach wedding, my group went here one night shoeless. Clumsy, slightly inebriated me stepped on a glass someone broke and my foot started gushing blood! The entire staff was fabulous about taking care of me, making sure all was okay and even the next day ensuring everything was fine.

We came here at night on Thursday night for the white party which was super awesome and fun! Lots of people in white dresscode in a party spirit and wanted to let loose ! ServIce was exceptional. we were able to dance the night away. unfortunately the pool is a huge ass bummer .. they should Heat it Up!!!!!!! Make it hottt at least the jacuzzi's near the cabana's make it steamy and foamy so you can bathe at the party while sipping on champagne or something lol On our last day, we took the cool see-through lift around 12pm, noticed iit was pretty empty and plenty of lounge chairs to pick from. The service was awesome! Lots of sun and great vibe. Again really sucks the pool is freazing as hell not even one person went in it. Another con, the cabana is real nice but you need to purchase a bottle of alcohol to enjoy it! Real stupid ! It ain't even that worth it. The cabana is bare minimum no bed just a small ass dirty couch. The tv was not playing and the jacuzzi was noot even hot ... i rather just lounge on the chairs and order plenty of drinks by the glass for free Looool The guy was rude about it too didn't like his attitude at all The bathrooms are really cool by the dj bar,, they have lockers with showers and all your amenities you need. Overall, will definitely come back here as there's no screaming kids ! If they can heat one of their pools that would be awesome too please !

They have a bar food menu, and on Sunday had a nicer expanded dinner menu. Nice sandy bar/lounge area. The beach isn't great - weedy and rocky so not great for swimming. Be warned the breakfast or bar food can take over 30-45 minutes to arrive, so order as soon as you sit. They keep your passport for your entire stay as "collateral"????? We picked this place because of their Sunday night beach party. Sadly - while the beach party was well attended by lots of attractive people drinking happily, but I'm not understanding the earsplitting loud techno music that played until about 3 in the morning. At some point enough is enough. I was hoping for some latin music, maybe some chill music as the party got going......the music was like one long loud annoying song. The other nights we were there, also techno music just not as loud. Ever hear of latin music?
