Fodor's Expert Review Canibal Royal

Playa del Carmen Beach

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Playa's most urbane beach club is set apart from the crowd in more ways than one. It's north of town at Calle 48, and its retro-1960s architecture and eclectic music selection make it a destination in itself. The beach area is equipped with plenty of lounge chairs, and there's a rooftop bar with a plunge pool and sundeck. Expect to pay around MX$200 for a chair and umbrella; fees are generally waved for those who spend a minimum of MX$200 on food or drinks. For a stylish lunch, try braised octopus or a tarte flambé. There's also a juice bar and full cocktail menu featuring the signature rosemary caipiroska (vodka with lime and sugar). Amenities: food and drink; toilets. Best for: partiers.
