- BBrianEdmonton / Northern Alberta •9 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe sat in one of the private areas which was very nice as the common areas were a bit busier. You do pay a little extra to sit there but totally worth it for the experience. The food was amazing and the price was on par for the quality. The signature drinks were made from top shelf liquors but IMO they need to be in bigger glasses for the price you pay. After the meal we walked around the restaurant and seen the cenote plus seen a few bats flying around as well. We will definitely recommend this to our friends when they come to visitMore infoAlux RestaurantePrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Playa del Carmen / Riviera Maya•4.4

The ambience was so much fun with excellent live music right in the restaurant plus people watching right on the Avenida. We got to see some live dancing and street performers - all of this on a Wednesday night.
