We did our reservations in Google days before arriving to Mexico. The place is super cute exactly like in IG but the food was amazingly delicious. The place was super busy so be patient with the service. We researched and plan our menu before we got there, so once the waiter came to us we were ready to order everything. Once we order I wasn’t finishing with one dish the next was ready. Julian was great and we paid with card but you can also pay in American dollars or Mexican pesos the bill showed both and the tip was not included. Please be generous you won’t regret it. I can wait to visit again but during the day.

A friend recommended going to this place to eat. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. You are greeted with palm trees and plants at the beginning of the entrance. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. You do have a beautiful view of the ocean but we were not lucky because right now there is a lot of seaweed on the sand. I love that the vibes were super chill as they have a live DJ playing light EDM/Pop music. Music wasn’t loud. It was just right. Now lets talk about the the FOOD We ordered Ceviche, Filete Al Pastor (Fish), and Calamari. It was enriched with mexican fusion flavors. I absolutely loved the food. The ceviche was my favorite. The serve free chips and sauce along with the meal. The chips were stale and didnt care for them. The sauces were amazing. Recommend getting the habanero sauce. Be cautious! Its SPICY Price is decent. It is a little beyond my budget but its great for a date This place deserves 5 stars overall.

Lido Beach Club is the perfect spot for a delicious breakfast by the ocean! They have great options for both kids and adults, with fresh and flavorful dishes. The best part? Your meal gives you access to the beach, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the day. We didn’t stay here, but the experience was fantastic—friendly service, beautiful views, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

This place is definitely about the vibes, chill, romantic, magical, and mesmerizing! I’ve been here twice both times during the day mid-week. I’ve hadn’t scene it extremely crowded at those times. Got a table close to the beach and the time before sat at the high table with swings. I think the food is pretty decent, I like the drinks! Definitely not watered down, the atmosphere is amazing! The views, the sea breeze, the water crashing at your feet! It’s a great place. Not to mention the beautiful jungle garden that leads to its entrance! Don’t pass this opportunity by!

This place got recommended from the hotel we were staying at and I’m so glad they recommended this place! It was absolutely fabulous! Where to start. You have a minimum you have to order from the menu but it is well worth it. The place was so cute, clean, not super busy (we were there on a Saturday in April) didn’t even reserve chairs. The beach was gorgeous. The staff were so nice and the pacing of asking what else we wanted was great. We all loved our food and drinks. I would 1000% come back here

Absolutely incredible food and atmosphere! The burgers and coconut shrimp were the best we've ever had—so good we came back twice. Gorgeous view and perfect vibe. A must-visit in Playa del Carmen!
